Lucy FreedmanThe Next Steps Are Here
We humans love and hate change. Life is a transition. As we traverse our lives we have many choices to make. A lot of them are not evident to us or seem to have been made for us already.
Our journey is to uncover who we really are and own our sovereignty. Everyone has an equal right to design their lives.
This is not a given for most of us. We made decisions in our infancy that shape our experience of who we are and who these other people are.
We are shown our family’s and culture’s way of being, in which we find our place.
And – we grow up and the world keeps on changing.
Fortunately, we find elders and guides, schools and teachers, stories and systems, companions and activities, trial and error, that help us learn what is possible for us.
Underlying our growth are well-trodden paths of human wisdom and methods that we can apply to the journey.
Syntax for Change offers healthy ways to become who we want to be. Our two kinds of learning processes are different, and complementary. The introductory course, Showing Up to Be Who You Choose to Be, creates a context for where we are in this pivotal time. You are invited to step into awareness of ourselves in nature, in relationship to each other, and in co-creating the future.
Syntax for Change proper, based on the Syntax Model, provides a roadmap for every conversation and for becoming an increasingly competent, flexible, and successful communicator. Teams benefit greatly from participating together.
For deeper personal growth, we invite you to explore the field of Transactional Analysis. We offer OKness in Action, a course about understanding the personality, how we came to be how we are, how to help ourselves and others thrive in the here-and-now, and ways to apply TA in life and work.
Whether your path is now focused on your own career and effectiveness, on reclaiming your joy and fullness, or on helping others grow, these doors are open for you.
Syntax for Change
The Syntax Influence Course makes it easy to understand and fine-tune core communication skills, modeled on outstanding communicators and distilled into clear concepts, exercises, and materials to improve your career and your team’s morale and performance.
OKness in Action
The idea of I’m OK – You’re OK that became popular in the 1970’s comes from transactional analysis, or TA. TA is a “syntax” for change that embraces the whole person and the full life cycle. All around the world, TA has introduced core concepts that now appear in some form in coaching, counseling, psychotherapy, personal growth, child development, conflict resolution, and leadership education.
