Postdoc Masterclass: Cultivate Your Leadership Potential and Thrive through Challenge and Change
NewSpecial

Thu 14 Apr 2022

Description

In the face of escalating disruption, cultivating effective self-leadership and personal mastery has become vital for sustained performance and wellbeing.

As the pace of change intensifies, which qualities and abilities are needed to navigate the challenges ahead? Which insights, tools, practices and skills will help unleash a quantum leap in your personal and professional effectiveness?

Taking responsibility for your self-development is one of the greatest acts of leadership. As CEO-turned-Harvard scholar Bill George affirmed, ‘You cannot manage other people unless you manage yourself first’.

Expanding our field of perception, overcoming limiting beliefs, managing emotional reactivity and cultivating healthy, collaborative relations are increasingly vital skills to thrive in changing times.

Cutting-edge practices, especially transformative approaches and those that promote awareness in the heat-of-the-moment, can play a crucial part in helping accomplished professionals to act in increasingly skilful, resourceful and life-enhancing ways.

This online, interactive, experiential session is a valuable opportunity to bring a key professional challenge, discover fresh perspectives and explore breakthrough solutions for constructive action. It will provide simple yet profound tools for achieving new insights, leaving you better equipped to achieve sustainable breakthroughs in self-leadership, workplace functioning, research innovation and academic results.

Dedicating quality time in a safe, supportive space to cultivate your essential self-leadership capacities through inquiry and reflection can help you engage with your work in more powerful, rewarding and visionary ways.

Join us for a short training with a big impact adding lasting value to your self-leadership and career journey.

I highly recommend her.’ ~ Leadership Development Professor, Stern Business School, NYC, USA
