A Structural Perspective

In fact, what we know from Structural Dynamics is that there are underlying structures in your life that create two types of patterns when you set out to achieve something. In the first oscillating pattern, your successes are reversed, and at the end of the process you no longer have want you want. In the advancing pattern, at the end, you not only have what you want, but your new success becomes the foundation for future successes. Most often, the issue of Identity is the key to the difference.

Join Robert Fritz and Ivan Fritz for an exciting conversation about the most critical issue that holds people back from successfully creating the lives they want.

Topics Covered:

• The fallacy of the traditional “Self-Esteem” approach to success
• How your opinion of yourself in this structure shapes recurring patterns in personal and professional life
• How identifying this structure opens the possibility for different outcomes
• The best structure for success in all contexts
• Resources for further study and exploration of this topic

Questions will be taken from the audience after the initial conversation.

Who This is For

• Artists and creators of all types
• Individuals interested in sustained personal change
• Leaders, managers, and organizational designers
• Coaches, educators, and facilitators
• Anyone curious about why patterns persist—and how they might shift
