Human Synergistics Offers Session Melding Yoga and Organization Development at 2010 ASTD Show

PRLog (Press Release) - May 16, 2010 -
Chicago, IL --- Human Synergistics International (http://www.humansynergistics.com) announced it will be conducting a session entitled “Wake Up Your Body, Mind, and Organization: Experience the Impact of the Human Synergistics Styles through a Yoga Practice” on Tuesday, May 18, 2010, at 3 p.m. during the ASTD International Conference and Expo in Chicago.

The session will be conducted by Janet L. Szumal, Ph.D., who, in addition to working with Human Synergistics on simulations, surveys, inventories, and more is also a registered yoga instructor who currently teaches both adult and “buff seniors” yoga classes.

The session will be filled on a first come first serve basis, and will integrate basic poses from Hatha Yoga. The session will be accessible both to beginners and practicing yogis alike. Participants should wear comfortable workout attire and will be given a free t-shirt. Conference attendees with questions about the session or Human Synergistics can find out more information on the Expo floor at booth #1231.

“This session provides a terrific energizing break for attendees of the four-day-long conference. We will be demonstrating through basic yoga poses how sometimes the best way to maximize individual, team, and organizational potential is by first maximizing your own,” says Szumal.

Participants will experience first-hand how “Constructive” thinking and behavioral styles enable them to strike a balance between effort and ease, and ultimately optimize their own satisfaction and performance as well as that of those around them.  

Questions the session will answer include: How can you create awareness through measurement? What are the different ways that people think and behave? How can you adjust and realign your thinking and behavioral styles to promote satisfaction and effectiveness?

“At Human Synergistics, we approach organizational development from a holistic perspective,” says Szumal.

“We believe that before you can start impacting and affecting things like employee engagement or satisfaction, you need to address the thinking and behavioral styles of your organization, its leadership and its employees.”

While much of the presentation will emphasize understanding and experiencing the styles measured by Human Synergistics, the session will largely be focused on providing a relaxing and enjoyable yoga session.

“We’ve designed this session to be accessible for everyone at the ASTD show. Our goal is to help you wake up your mind and body, and to provide some easily understandable information on how you can do the same for your organization. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone there,” said Szumal.
