Four Seasons continues alliance and work with A. T. Still University of Health Sciences

Four Seasons continues its alliance and work with A. T. Still University. In 2007, David Wayne moved from his long term work as an external consultant with the university to take on the role of Associate Dean in the Arizona School of Health Sciences. A. T. Still is a university founded by an MD in 1892 who created osteopathic medicine in an effort to integrate medical care between body, mind and spirit and to include compassion and integrity with ability. The medical school and a doctoral program in health education still thrive on its campus in Kirksville, Missouri. However, the campus in Arizona now includes the state's first dental school, a new separate medical school and the Arizona School of Health Sciences (ASHS). ASHS has post graduate (Masters' and Doctoral programs) in Audiology, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physician Assisting, Athletic Medicine and a Doctor of Health Sciences. Dr. Wayne works with all three schools but focuses much of his work in the ASHS program working on faculty development, accreditation and assessment. This role provides both a concrete foundation and a living laboratory for work done through Four Seasons International Consulting.

2005 - present

Continuing Work with the Sustainable Global Leadership Alliance

Started in 2005, Four Seasons has watched its work with the Sustainable Global Leadership Alliance grow to where, in addition to time in its headquarters in New Mexico, the programs offered have expanded to Philadelphia and a possible addition in the future to Seattle. The SGLA fosters community understanding and leadership in global sustainability and, after intensive training, takes groups to third world companies as part of the learning process. Dr. Wayne completed work iwith the Philadlphia group in July.

2008

Dr. Wayne was honored to help edit and review a book by author, therapist, mediator and artist, Marbara Kennedy. The book, which examines "male menopause" and beyond in our ever-changing environment, is a recommended, compelling work for men who find themselves alone after 50.

2006 - 2007

Four Seasons Visits Asia and continues newest work

David Wayne presented a seminar in Singapore at the International Association of Facilitators’ Asian conference. This groundbreaking training, called “Beyond Methods”, looked at organizational development and change from a biological, sociological, psychological and mythological perspective. An expansion of a seminar done in Germany in 2005, participants came from eight countries in Asia, as well as Australia. David also conducted a seminar on personalities and their impact on facilitation and planning to 80 participants from over a dozen countries. The largest audience for any seminar at the conference, evaluations were outstanding. A similar workshop was presented by Dr. Wayne at the U.S. meeting of the International Association of Facilitators in Portland, Oregon in 2007

David has been asked to return back to Asia in 2009 to offer several programs on organizational change.

2006

Work with Maricopa County Superior Court concludes

After nearly two years of working with the Juvenile Court system in the fastest growing community in the U.S., an intensive session with Superior Court Judges and community leaders culminated in a detailed plan to help move the County forward despite limited financing and a huge influx of new residents. The Court Administrator commented in a letter to the consultants: “ You did a wonderful job in bringing diverse groups together, helping us plan and move forward. Thank you for a job well done”.

2006

Free Arts of Arizona

While a relatively small job, David truly enjoyed the opportunity of working with the staff of this exciting organization. Free Arts does much in the State to promote the arts through a variety of activities from classes to lobbying efforts to community forums.

2006-2007

Leadership Training Continues for Business and Professional Leaders in Texas

For the fifth year running Four Seasons brought an intensive two day training, including the powerful SIMSOC simulation, to the El Paso Chamber of Commerce’s “Leadership El Paso” group. For 2008, this training was expanded to separate seminars for Youth Leadership as well as community leadership.

2006-2007

Planning Work with the American Jewish Committee

David was honored to join the Board of Directors of the local American Jewish Committee. Called a “State Department” for its thinking and leadership in international affairs, including immigration reform and in tolerance and reconciliation, David assisted the Board by facilitating a leadership retreat to plan for the coming year, do Board development and team building.

2006

Continuing work with Schools in Planning

While work went on with several schools throughout 2006, the chance to continue a partnership that went back over five years with All Saints Episcopal Day School was a highlight. This is a private school that has gone through ongoing changes in staff and administration and helping the administration team plan felt like “being home”. That effort was done on under the leadership of the Head of School, Ed Young, who sadly passed away in July after a valiant struggle with cancer. Ed was a visionary, often way ahead of his time, and he will be sorely missed.

2006

Coaching and Psychotherapy

When David left working as a psychotherapist and devoted himself to organization development work, he thought it unlikely that he would return to these earlier roots. However, whether because of the fast-paced life that leaders find themselves in or the rapidity of change we are experiencing, requests to provide executive coaching and some psychotherapy, as needed, have continued to arise. David took on a few of these on during 2006 and enjoyed working with individuals.
