"Case Clinic" - Outline

The Ecology of Currency:Introduction of the "case clinic", "case giver",

and each of the "coaches"


• Introduction of the "case clinic", "case giver", and each of the "coaches"

• Stillness



• Closing remarks

social field



– Moment of stillness to co-sense the shared social field.– Invitation to express or share any reflections.


• Stillness



• Closing remarks



The Ecology of Currency:"Intention Statement" by case giver



Take a moment to reflect on your sense of calling. Then clarify these questions:

– Current situation: What key challenge or question are we up against?– Stakeholders: How might others view this situation?– Intention: What future are we trying to create?– Learning threshold: What do we need to let-go of -- and what do we need to learn?– Help: Where do we need input or help?

• Stillness



• Closing remarks




Current situation: What key challenge or question are we up against?

"In 2012, Virginia Western received a nearly $200,000

grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) . . .

The NSF PACE ME project is building connections between

industry and educational institutions so we can focus on growing the technician pipeline

by aligning engineering competencies, skills and

knowledge."

Learning threshold: What do we need to let-go of -- and what do we need to learn?

We need to let-go of the “ego’s” (individual) limitations and learn to actualize “eco-” (collective) potentials . . .

Learning threshold: Letting go of “ego” to actualize “eco” . . .

The Ecology of Currency:Stillness

• Stillness

– Listen to your heart: Connect with your heart to what you’re hearing.– Listen to what resonates: What images, metaphors, feelings and gestures come up

for you that capture the essence of what you heard?



• Closing remarks




The Ecology of Currency:Mirroring: Images (Open Mind), Feelings

(Open Heart), Gestures (Open Will)


– Each coach shares the images/metaphors, feelings and gestures that came up.– Having listened to all coaches, the case giver reflects back on what s/he heard.


• Closing remarks




The Ecology of Currency:Generative Dialogue


– All reflect on remarks by case giver and move into a generative dialogue on how these observations can offer new perspectives on the case giver’s situation and journey.

– Go with the flow of the dialogue. Build on each other’s ideas.

• Closing remarks




The Ecology of Currency:Closing Remarks

• Closing remarks

– By coaches– By case giver: How do I now see my situation and way forward?– Thank you: An expression of genuine appreciation to each other.
