Disrupt your fear of conflict.
Step into your leadership.
Leaders who model healthy conflict set the tone for a high performing culture.
It´s natural for many top leaders to find conflict overwhelming and distressing. Triggers often take us by surprise. It takes courage to engage, whether the conflict is in the workplace or at home.
What is your current relationship with conflict? How do you stay focused when social tension goes up?
In this training we cover:
- 3x most common fears of speaking up and practical ways to move through them.
- The missing link to high performance for empathetic leaders.
- Mapping and interrupting old behavioural patterns.
- Simple language to ground you when others react.
Training taken by CEOs, senior leaders, leadership teams, business owners, HR and sales teams. Can be tailored for groups or 1:1.
Confident
Public Speaking
Leaders who communicate effectively can influence, motivate, and shape the direction of their teams and organisation.
It's not uncommon for public speaking to be challenging, sometimes confronting, for leaders at a senior level.
What’s happening when public speaking really works for you? How do you communicate effectively?
Over four interactive modules learn the framework used by top presenters to speak with conviction and ease. Understand the subtle social forces that drive group behaviour - including yours. Use targeted activities to elevate your delivery and increase rapport with your audience.
Taken by CEOs for upcoming speeches and team facilitation, executives who present to boards and the media, technical experts who are pitching, and business founders to stand out on specialist panels to win contracts.
Leaders who complete this training often highlight the unique way we work with mindset and integrity, as what sets it apart from other courses. Can be tailored for groups or 1:1.
