The most powerful lever you have to create impact as a leader in tough times is yourself. You can learn to manage your own reactions and behaviours much faster than you can change everybody else.

If you feel like you're spending a ton of energy trying to plan for every scenario and not really getting anywhere, working from what you want to accomplish may produce better results. This is not selfish: you are still working for the greater good. It is quite simply a more effective way to operate successfully in an uncertain, unpredictable environment. You work with the one asset you can control: yourself.

Easier said than done, you think? This is exactly where this course comes in. You'll learn how to manage yourself in the heat of the moment, when despite your good intentions you don't manage to say what needs to be said, or not in a way that is going to be helpful for the relationship longer term. What you manage to actually say and do in the moment is what counts. People (and history) judge you by your actions, not your intent.

The course will help you define what kind of leader you want to be and what impact you want to create, before we start working on how you can manage to keep yourself on track to make it happen. You'll discover what your own distractions and triggers are, and how you can bring your focus back to where it needs to be - quickly. That is how you'll be able to leverage every opportunity and every interaction to accomplish your vision.

You'll get the chance to practise with a small group of peers so you build consistency in how you manage your leadership presence beyond this course.
