Workshop OverviewOur world is increasingly complex, requiring us to be agile, and awareness is key. Having to do more, faster, with less resources, puts incredible pressure on leaders. Often, under these conditions, creating space for crucial reflection and planning, gets pushed aside for other more urgent matters. Bring a colleague and join like-minded leaders for a day, in which we seek to PAUSE and to return to our understanding of awareness and aspects of leadership which will serve us and our teams in this complex world.
HOW?
Participants will be introduced to concepts, strategies and tools, asked to share experiences and connections, given opportunity to practice, and to design a way forward. Together we will create a safe space, where radical candor, and deep responsive thinking and sharing will support all members as they seek to move their leadership to the next level.
PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN: - and practice strategies and develop a common language on key areas for leading (ie. change management, deep listening, effective questioning, feedback)
- and share experiences and learn from the experiences of others
- and leave with concrete strategies and tools to use with their teams, as well as a plan for next steps.
