The world today is changing more rapidly than the rules that govern it. Amid this uncertainty one can feel a lack of direction or meaning - as if the decisions you make don’t carry any value or power. In the age of AI our routine functions that we used to perform - are vanishing and we’re searching for new inner guidance. The catalyst for all changes is our way of thinking - how we are able to perceive ourselves and our surroundings, evaluate and recognise the algorithms that shaped us. Updated study programme “Leader's Mindset in the Age of AI: Changes, Human Being, New Meanings” will explore the place of human being between two world of intellects, yet the final goal is vitality - the force that creates new pathways for organisation, health and innovation. Human value is expressed less in productivity, and more in creation of liveliness and it's safe-keeping. Human intellect is the core axis, which enables us to recognise potential and develop it even more, nurture living organisational ecosystems. Authentic study program developed by Rasa Baltė Balčiūnienė is designed for innovative, forward-thinking individuals that are ready to change one’s ways of thinking and behaviour through strengthening one’s mindfulness and intuition. Main themes and dates December 4–5, 2026 Human Being Between Two Logics: What Shapes Human Thinking? January 22–23, 2027 The Languages of the Subconscious: How Can We Distinguish Real Information from Our Own Interpretations and Projections? March 5–6, 2027 Discoveries in Ontopsychology: What Within Me Seeks to Develop, and What Maintains the Status Quo? April 9–10, 2027 A Leader’s Self-Sabotage: How Do We Get in Our Own Way?

“Thinking that if I have control, I will also have power is an illusion. The paradox is that when a leader lets go of control, their power within the organization does not decrease – it actually increases. Power is not control. Power means that processes within the organization continue even when the leader is not present,” says Lina Maskoliūnė, facilitator of living organizations and change, and a business practitioner. ▪️ What is inner power, and how does it differ from the desire to control? ▪️ How do centers of power emerge within organizations? ▪️ How can we recognize real versus superficial redistribution of power? ▪️ Why does the redistribution of power become one of the biggest challenges in organizations?

“A sense of ownership means identification. We can identify with a brand, an organization’s culture, a country... Only through identification - not by being instructed from the outside - does real change occur, because work becomes meaningful,” says Algirdas Orantas, partner and head of the agency “The Critical,” chairman of the National Association of Creative and Cultural Industries, and a board member of the Lithuanian Design Association. ▪️ How does an employee become an ambassador of change? ▪️ Are internally driven changes more sustainable? ▪️ How does the idea of “sacrifice” emerge and why can it be dangerous?

In business, when dissatisfaction with results arises, quick, short-term decisions are often made. But real change does not happen. “As many as 70% of changes fail because the wrong implementation approach is chosen: it is not always enough to adjust people’s actions - sometimes it is necessary to change the business model or even undertake a shift in thinking,” says Gintaras Vilda. ▪️ How can you identify what kind of change an organization needs? ▪️What is the difference between changes, transformations, and reforms? ▪️What conditions are necessary for a reform to take place? ▪️Why do some companies choose short-sighted decisions?

“The era we live in is full of incredible opportunities and a great deal of uncertainty about where they will lead us. There are no longer people who can do everything. The age of heroes is over. Today, we talk about the ability to coexist with different perspectives, to create, and to stay present in tension. Facilitation helps us do exactly that. We have reached a point where it is a strategic mistake to think: I will do everything myself,” says 𝐄𝐠𝐥ė 𝐃𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐧ė, founder of the Sociocracy Center, consultant at OVC Consulting, and lecturer at Vilnius University. ▪️ How does facilitation support the change process? ▪️ How can a group conversation be transformed into a meaningful dialogue? ▪️ How is facilitation different from moderation? ▪️ When does the leader-facilitator tandem become successful?
