Using Our Experience to Teach Us About Global Mindset: A Professional Development Workshop Using the Kairos Method

Abstract: This interactive, dynamic, and experiential workshop will introduce the Academy of Human Resource Development scholar-practitioner community to a process of producing collective knowledge about global mindset from singular experience using the innovative Kairos Method developed by Galvani (2011) and advanced by one of the session facilitators, Dr. Magali Balayn Lelong. Through the workshop, participants will explore how global mindset can be constructed through an experiential process of Kairos where each participant will reflect on an experience of otherness. Participants will participate in the process and discuss how this method could be used in human resource development practice and research.
