SESSION DESCRIPTION

Introduction to the Net Model

Because dialog and relationships are intertwined and at the heart of everything we do, both personally and professionally, the Net Model is a relationship model since relationships represent the very “currency” of our lives. Thus, understanding how relationships work is key to engaging well with others. Net Theory and its embodiment in the Net Model constitute a powerful framework for effectively engaging others in any context including those with whom we may struggle.

Healthy, productive engagements allow us to flourish in our many roles…..at work, with family and friends and with the organizations we choose to be a part of. We also know that part of the human condition is to experience dialog and relationships filled with both delights and disappointments. Net Theory can help us better understand and improve them all.

Simple to Understand in Concept

The Net Model is a conceptually simple framework that can guide our interactions with others in everyday life, both in healthy relationships and those that need work. It can also help us navigate interactions with those with whom we may be in deep disagreement, a timely skill given our currently divided culture.

This interactive lecture/workshop with examples and short case studies will introduce you to powerful concepts that can literally give rise to a new “way of being” that emanates from within rather than another set of tools and techniques that must be learned, mastered and remembered in order to be applied.

What Makes Net Theory Unique

Net Theory can trace its roots to behavioral models that have been accepted and widely used in psychology over many decades to explain why and how we respond to others as we do, specifically, that interactions with others are defined more by our response to an “emotional system” rather than our acting solely as individuals. The developer of Net Model, a research-based, clinical psychologist, sought to overcome limitations which he and colleagues had long-observed in conventional “systems thinking” and set out to develop a more robust framework that addressed these limitations, making it far easier to understand and apply in everyday life. Decades of development accompanied by years of use in clinical practice has resulted in a model that is understandable, simple to grasp and results in tangible change.

Simple in concept, the entire model is symbolized simply by a “sport court” with two sides and a net.

Hence, the name Net Theory. Once one understands the elements on each side of the net and what the net itself represents, it becomes quite intuitive to apply across a range of settings.
