'Think like a leader' with David Barnard
Perhaps you are really fit. You can run 5 or 10k comfortably. Then a friend invites you to go rock climbing, and every muscle burns for days.Promotion to team leader can be a bit like that. You are an expert at the top of your game, so your boss gladly asks you to step up. Then mental and emotional muscles start to burn. It's not the intellectual challenges that feel new. It's the complexity of human relationships that weigh you down. Getting in the mental gym now will make your step up to leadership smoother and more rewarding for everyone.
This interactive workshop focuses on the four mental muscles:
- Mindful attention
- Disciplined self-awareness
- Empathetic curiosity
- Intentional impact
All of them can be developed with practice before taking on a leadership role.
We will discuss what is working and what is not, consider the implications of a variable 'pipeline' of leaders, then try out practical exercises for strengthening our leadership mindset.
