- What is the organization hoping to accomplish with the intervention?
- Who is the target of this intervention (e.g. employees, managers, etc.)?
- What population is this intervention intended for? (e.g. type of organization or industry)?
- What problem does this intervention seek to solve, and/or what positive outcome does this intervention seek to enhance or create?
2. Has the presenter adequately described the components of the intervention?
- What are the psychological (or physical) mechanisms this intervention seeks to impact? (e.g. Would it work by creating positive habits of attention? By increasing self-efficacy? By causing a positive physiological shift?)
- What are the expected outcomes and practical results you would anticipate from its implementation? (e.g. Would it result in more positive emotions? Greater productivity at work? Reduced crime rates?)
3. Has the presenter provided empirical and theoretical evidence for the intervention?
4. Has the presenter made a strong case for his or her intervention?
5. Does the implementation plan seem well thought-out and appropriate for the population? If the team already implemented the plan, did they adequately describe their thought-process and learning?
6. Do the expected outcomes seem supported by evidence? If the team already tested the intervention, were the outcomes well measured and explained? Do you think this intervention would work with other populations?
Hi Christian, I like how you presented the problem! How did you decide to focus on awareness as the key ingredient to foster the greatest outcomes? When do you plan on testing your intervention?
Hello Jessica, Thank you for your comments! We decided to build the intervention program around Awareness because many different sources point to it as the key element to enable lasting positive transformation at the personal level. Sources such as traditional Buddhist teachings, Mindfulness research insights and Coaching models and experience. We are planning to test the program during the second half of 2017 or first half of 2018 depending on the coordination and planning with the organizations we’ll work with.
Dear Cristian, thank you for your clear and engaging presentation. You have provided the viewer with the broader context for why we need to enhance leadership awareness (e.g., VUCA) and you have argued for the importance of a leader being more aware of how they projects their light and their shadow. It’s great to see how you have incorporated PP research into your intervention such as mindfulness, coaching, goal setting and character strengths. The use of 360 degree evaluation will prove fruitful. Well done!
Thank you Cristian for sharing your intervention. I believe role playing and one to one coaching have a very positive effect on leaders and employees, they are not just one more part of the machinery, they have a special role to play that is important and valued. Best wishes!
Great Job, Cristian. Your graphics were very helpful.
Cristian, I am impressed by your intervention goals to: 1) enhance leaders’ coaching skills, 2) increase leaders’ awareness of self and followers’ character strengths, 3) increase leaders’ awareness of employee needs for personal and professional growth and 4) increase leaders’ ability to listen with mindfulness and compassion. I would like to learn more about the feedback tool you mentioned and the actual modules of the 3, 4 hour sessions. Also, what is the timeframe for delivering this intervention overall (how many weeks)? Hopefully we can continue this discussion within the WOD
