Authentic Leadership
Why is more authenticity needed in leadership?
A more authentic leader makes more conscious, sustainable and innovative decisions and creates better teams and organizations. There is plenty of proof for that and we do not want to go into the reasoning for that here. We want to invite you to explore it with us and go beyond what you currently think is possible.
Being more authentic in our leadership makes us more fulfilled and happy.
What is this workshop about?
You get the chance to explore and train the treasures that are hidden in our experience and that can help us become better leaders. We will also practice how we can bring more of our authentic experience while leading a group. The focus is to explore firsthand what we experience and how we can use that in contact and relationship with others. What happens within you when you lead?
What will we do?
- Focus on what we are not yet allowing
- Experience what happens when we say yes to more of our experience and choose to trust it
- See clearer where we believe the limits are to our authentic leadership and why
- Explore what intelligence might be hidden in feelings that we often dismiss such as distraction and confusion
- Create an understanding of what beliefs we carry about our leadership
