Appreciative Inquiry Human Interaction Lab

NTL's founders invented the T Group and the Human Interaction Lab: a process of discovering what happens in a group when we meet with no content agenda but a passionate commitment to understanding ourselves, each other, and our group as we spend a week together.

The Human Interaction Laboratory is NTL's most requested program. It is an introduction to interpersonal relations, group dynamics, with a focus on developing and practicing effective interpersonal skills and giving and receiving feedback responsibly. This popular program is the gateway program for many other NTL offerings.

The T Group (T for training)--developed and refined by NTL to provide an intensive small-group experience, an informal atmosphere of shared learning, and an opportunity for behavioral feedback and assessment--is the foundation of the Human Interaction Laboratory. Working through the T Group method, experiential methods, and theoretical and conceptual frameworks, participants will increase their awareness of the effects of their behavior on others, enhance their communication skills and thus their ability to understand themselves and others, develop the ability to give and receive feedback responsibly, have a clearer understanding of group development and group dynamics, and be more aware of diversity issues.
The four of us on the staff co-create with you a new way of experiencing ourselves in a T Group and in a Human Interaction Lab. We launched this lab in 2005 and it gets better each time.

If you have questions about this lab, please contact me by email and I will phone you to discuss the lab. Then, come and join us. Imagine the possibilities!
