We invite you to join Dr. Otto Laske in conversation with special guest Dr. Shaker Mustafa on Friday May 28, 2010 at 8AM US Eastern time, 8PM Malaysia time. The focus will be to explain why IDM is not a “coaching school”, and what this means for the coaches and consultants we teach.
Dr. Mustafa will share his unique perspective as an advanced student of Dr. Laske's teachings at the Interdevelopmental Institute (IDM), the global leader in developmental education for coaches, consultants and other human resources professionals.
In this 50-minute free tele-session we will shed light on how IDM Programs assist coaches in focusing on the structure of thinking and meaning making practiced by managers and leaders, rather than only on “problems” brought before coaches. We will show why there is a need for triple loop learning, and why in this regard dialectical thinking is the most suited for business people who want to perform at the highest level in the face of current global business challenges.
There will be an opportunity for teleseminar participants to ask questions about IDM's programs, including two new Professional Practice workshops designed for managers: Social-Emotional Awareness, and Dialectical Thinking.

Telesession Description
This interactive information session is designed for experienced coaches who want to enhance their practice by leveraging the latest ideas, models, and approaches from adult developmental research.
IDM's Dialectics in Coaching Program represents the leading edge of evidence-based advanced education for coaches and other helping professionals.
The notion of Dialectics emphasizes:
- the intertwinement of social-emotional and cognitive elements of coaching practice, and
- the mastery of shifting focus from “feeling” to “thinking” in advanced developmental coaching, both in actual conversations and in formulating coaching plans.
This teleseminar, led by internationally acclaimed author and educator Dr. Otto Laske, will provide participants a forum to ask questions about how Dialectics in Coaching works logistically — what steps it requires — and in terms of substance — what the classes achieve.
We will also discuss the interplay beween self-study of adult developmental theory and live teleclassess classes in which the self-study learnings are exercised and expanded to achieve coaching mastery. The approach and benefits of the practical and affordable Dialectics in Coaching Program will be compared to IDM's Certificate Program.
There is NO COST to attend this teleseminar. Everyone who registers will receive the call-in number plus a link to a PDF file with slides that describe the Dialectics in Coaching program. Within 24 hours we will send you a link to the audio recording of the session.

2010-01-22 Teleseminar With Tim Wachtel - Download MP3
Original Description
Since adult developmental research is starkly under-publicized, clients often are not aware of the new findings about the human condition and professional development this research has unearthed. As a result, developmentally educated professionals find it difficult to sell their niche services which could be of great benefit if acknowledged and understood more widely beyond academia.
This telesession with Special Guest Tim Wachtel will make you better informed about why your developmental offerings may not be asked for or why, if asked for, they are not well understood in their impact on an entire organization. Tim aims to reveal and diminish the "hidden dimensions" of adult development; he will converse with participants and IDM staff about:
- Tim's project to create an International Advocacy and Training Organization for Adult Development
- How IDM educated practitioners can become active in advocacy promoting adult development from a research-based perspective
- How IDM students can begin to train a larger number of trainers in applied adult development in diverse consultancy fields
The structure of the 1-hr seminar is as follows:
- Introduction of participants: Why are you here?
- Introduction of Tim Wachtel
- Background on the impetus behind Tim's Advocacy Project
- Discussion of core topics by all participants
- Call to action

Original Description
This is a free teleseminar on the benefits of developmental and dialectical thinking and listening in coaching, management consulting, and leadership development. Overall, this seminar is about the timely updating of your education to better position yourself in your market niche, and to develop programs to which organizations will respond.
This seminar, led by Otto Laske, Director of IDM, will feature the following topics, guided by participants’ wishes:
- In this time of recession, how can a knowledge of developmental thinking and listening contribute to your effectiveness as a professional beyond present behavioral work you do in your field — and how can IDM help you build your tool kit?
- What are the benefits of working with social-emotional and cognitive data about clients in a) coaching, b) HR, c) management consulting, and d) leadership development — and how can IDM help you position yourself in the market?
To help you answer these questions, graduate students of IDM will be on hand to report on what they have learned at IDM, in their work with global leaders and in large organizations, including:
- How to help senior management tackle questions of strategy execution and talent management by including CDF concepts in organizational projects (for consultants)
- How to help coaching clients on higher executive levels (senior management, CEOs) to not only gain self-insight but open their eyes to the talent around them (for coaches)
- How to help leaders to become sponsors of change and engage with change efforts in an intense and sustained way (for leadership developers).
We will also share our experiences at recent conferences in Europe and South America where IDM was represented.
