Introduction to Conscious Leadership
In our most popular event, we teach leaders how to significantly reduce drama
in their lives. You'll learn how to address your reactivity (context) so that you can effectively tackle the content of your issue. When you only address content, issues tend to recycle. When you handle context first, you'll be able to permanently resolve your issues.
What We’ll Cover
- Context versus Content. Paying attention to context is the key to a drama free culture.
- The 4 Questions of Conscious Leadership. Four key questions designed to be used ongoing to build self awareness and become a more conscious leader.
- The Drama Triangle. The Triangle roles of Victim, Villain, and Hero describes the go-to positions that create and perpetuate drama and limit organizational growth and creativity.
Introduction to Enneagram
The combination of its impact on self-awareness and relational effectiveness makes The Enneagram a key tool for leadership development. Getting your team typed and trained as a group can be a collaboration game changer. Knowing your own types and the types of your team members deepens connection, empathy, collaboration, productivity, and often, fun(!).
You’ll learn about the 9 Enneagram types and how they show up as different leadership styles. Everyone will gain greater insight into their own and their teammates strengths and challenges, and how they interact with one another based on type.
This training can be combined with an Introduction to Conscious Leadership (above) for a two day event.
100% Responsibility
Learn how to eliminate drama on your team by helping people shift from victimhood to taking 100% responsibility. Bring real team issues to the event for us to work with. You’ll walk away knowing how to use our model to permanently resolve recycling patterns and issues.
Candor
In order to practice candor, you need to learn to take responsibility, stay curious, and be comfortable expressing and receiving the full expression of feelings. We'll lay the groundwork in this training to put candor center stage to create a feedback-rich environment that fosters connection and innovation.
Appreciation
Five appreciations to every criticism is an essential ratio to maximize team innovation and engagement. We’ll offer you the key skills for masterful appreciation and practice together so that you get the hang of it. You'll end the training more deeply connected with your team. We can only promise this because masterful appreciation is that powerful.
Impeccable Agreements
Teams waste valuable time, resources, and energy dealing with sloppy or broken agreements. We’ll help you identify where your team's leaks are and teach you how to make impeccable agreements. Our process includes learning about whole body yeses—and nos—and a decision rights framework to bring more integrity and flow to your team.
Zone of Genius
Your zone of genius is where your passions and innate gifts intersect, commonly referred to as a flow state. When in your zone of genius, you lose track of time and space because you are so deeply immersed. Gay Hendricks coined the concept in his book, The Big Leap, a favorite among our clients.
Training Topics
- Identify each person’s zone of genius
- Surface unconscious fears that keep you from living in your genius.
- Learn how to increase the amount of time you spend in your genius.
- Support you to understand your different relational styles and how they interplay with one another.
Mastering Feedback
Highly effective teams embrace and create feedback-rich environments. Learn how to masterfully give and receive feedback to support connection, creativity, effectiveness, and more energy across your team. One practical benefit of a feedback-rich environment is that everyone knows where they stand with one another and the group. This increases trust and relaxation, which are both foundational for innovation.
Clear agreements around candid feedback—and candor in general—opens the door for feedback to move in all directions. Leaders who set the stage for this level of feedback invite and artfully receive more input from their reports, supporting their effectiveness as a leader and the effectiveness of the team as a whole.
Feelings & Emotional Intelligence
Feelings are resisted and often repressed because they’re viewed as a distraction to good decision-making and leadership. We believe great leaders learn to access all three centers of intelligence: the head, the heart and the gut. The wisdom of the heart center, of emotional intelligence, is essential to great leadership, but typically goes untapped.
Your team will build emotional literacy by developing a clear definition of emotion and identifying the core emotions. You’ll practice locating emotions in your body and naming those emotions. Walk away with a shared vocabulary and an understanding of how our feelings invite us in a specific way to grow in awareness and knowing.
