Each participant selects 3 immersions from those below.
Option 1: The Whole Leader
How you show up matters. In the workplace resilience is a key element of progressing in your career – dealing with unexpected setbacks, criticism and challenging circumstances and situations. We can’t always control what happens, but we can control how we respond to what happens.
This 3 hour virtual workshop arms leaders with practical tools and strategies to boost their resilience, protect mental wellbeing and build self awareness. It also explores the impact that the words, actions and behaviours we exhibit have on our teams. As senior leaders we have an opportunity to model healthy habits and pave the way for future generations.
This module covers skills such as:
- cultivating a growth mindset to help springboard personal growth
- observing emotions for improved emotional literacy and relationships with others
- setting healthy boundaries
- building awareness around negative thoughts and cultivating self care practices to optimise wellbeing.
These life skills will prepare leaders to show up to their best ability, and lead by example when it comes to prioritising their mental and emotional health.
On completion of the workshop, participants will have:
- a solid understanding of the factors that contribute to their overall wellbeing and ability to demonstrate resilience
- tools to recognise and negate stress and boost their daily energy levels
- an improved self-awareness and increased emotional literacy, allowing them to self-regulate more readily, and improve how they relate to themselves and their teams
- the tools to cultivate a growth mindset; embracing failure and challenges
- a better understanding of their own explanatory style and be able to challenge this in order to encourage optimistic thinking and build resilience
- an increased awareness of the strengths of their social networks, and how they can use these to boost their own subjective wellbeing.
Option 2: Stretching the Boundaries
Contemporary leadership requires leaders to be comfortable operating in new and unusual ways. Leaders who create an environment that allows for high performance mindset and focus enable team members to work collaboratively, innovatively and sustainably to prepare them for an agile and flexible future.
This 3-hour virtual workshop gives participants insight into amplifying results. It encourages leaders to be confident with challenging the status quo while being comfortable with appropriate risk. Working on a future focused issue, participants create an action plan linked to their strategic vision.
On completion of the workshop, participants can:
- explore ways to improve collaboration
- establish and practice innovation methods
- cultivate balanced risk taking behaviours and be comfortable with appropriate risk
- translate insights to influence others and create a compelling and strategic vision.
Option 3: Adaptability Quotient (AQ)
In the fast paced world in which technology is quickly changing our lives, leaders cannot rely on a single work style or set of skills to last throughout their careers. Instead, they need to adapt and thrive in an agile environment. This new, evolving leadership ability transcends EQ and IQ and ensures leaders remain adaptable and prepare their teams for an uncertain future.
This 3-hour virtual workshop helps participants create a culture of adaptability and respond mindfully to challenges as they arise. Using self-assessment to establish current levels of adaptability, participants create a clear and action orientated approach to embrace a more adaptable style of leadership.
On completion of the workshop, participants can:
- leverage the psychology of adaptability
- feel more confident in their ability to navigate uncertainty and unlock untapped potential
- move from the mindset of expert to experimenter
- build self-accountability to drive meaningful and impactful change
Option 4: Authentic Vulnerability
Displaying authentic vulnerability creates an environment where teams believe they are able to speak up with ideas, suggestions, questions or concerns; or admit mistakes and take risks. Leaders create this psychological safety by establishing the required environment, mindsets and behaviours in their teams.
After completing this workshop, participants will:
- have an increased understanding of how to lead a psychologically safe workplace
- have methods for enabling greater openness and authenticity with their staff
- know how to conduct difficult conversations and reduce defensiveness
- know how to encourage an early intervention approach to addressing interpersonal behaviour and team dynamics
- know how to draw on the principles of the ORATE Method™ to increase communication capabilities.
Option 5: Performance Coaching
Performance coaching is an essential leadership skill. When done well it can transform performance, be a driver for continuous improvement, and create a culture of learning and exploration.
This 3-hour virtual workshop first explores the role leaders play as performance coaches in finding solutions not problems, asking better questions, lifting productivity and achieving results.
The second part of the workshop requires participants to put their skills to the test through a ‘live’ coaching session with an industry expert playing the role of coachee. This coaching is observed and participants are provided with verbal and written feedback on strengths and areas for development.
On completion of the workshop, participants can:
- make informed decisions on when to coach based on their new knowledge of performance coaching
- integrate performance coaching into their leadership style
- use coaching tools to bring out the best in others and elevate their performance
- implement their performance coaching development plan in the workplace.
Option 6: Visibility and Brand
Establishing a personal brand creates awareness in leaders as to who they are, what type of leader they want to be and how their values drive their actions. This session explores how personal brands are created and ways of connecting brand to leadership styles to build visibility among teams and peers.
This 3-hour virtual workshop zeros in on how to reduce visibility fears, stand out, lead authentically and effectively lead when our values driven brand is conflicted.
On completion of the workshop, participants can:
- establish a personal brand using the 3 Vs – voice, value and visibility
- build a unique voice that resonates with people
- enhance their visibility in a way that supports their personal brand
- avoid the common mistakes people make with their brand
- network effectively to enhance personal visibility.
