ASCENT Outward Performance


Arbinger’s work shows that people and organizations operate from two different mindsets:
1. Inward – focused on themselves.
2. Outward – focused on others.

The Outward Performance workshop teaches tools to improve self-awareness, change mindset, and build accountability and teamwork. It helps people work better with their teams and become more self-aware.

2026 Outward Performance Workshop Flyer​​

Studies show that organizations that focus on shifting to an outward mindset are four times more likely to succeed in organizational-change efforts than companies that focus only on changing behavior. By helping leaders to turn organizational systems and processes outward provided a strong invitation for sustained systemic change​.​​

  • Understand two mindsets and their implications on results
  • Assess the extent to which they are working with an inward mindset
  • Change their mindsets to become more outward
  • Re-conceive their jobs to make them more outward
  • Hold themselves more fully accountable
  • Report on performance in a way that keeps them working outward
  • Work in a way that is more collaborative, fulfilling, and effective
  • Positively influence others to change
  • Address and resolve conflicts​

​Outward Performance is offered virtually by Zoom in five interactive half-day sessions with key concepts and discussion taught by an Arbinger-certified Facilitator. Cohort size is 20-35 participants. Open to all Oregon state government or other governmental employees.
