Psychologist & leadership coach, 35 yrs

You were promoted because you were good at your work. But leading is a different job. As an expert you delivered results yourself; as a leader, your results come through other people. Many new leaders lose months, and sometimes the trust of their team, by doing the work themselves, postponing the difficult conversation, or swinging between too soft and too strict.
Leading doesn't start with techniques. It starts with how you look at people, and at yourself. Every conversation carries a relationship message. That is felt most with former colleagues: overnight, status, fairness and belonging shift, and the emotional brain notices before anyone says a word.
This course gives you a flying start. You get to know your own preferences and blind spots, give direction with a clear frame, hand over the solution while you keep the goal, and have the tough conversation in time, with respect.
Six live sessions in a small group of maximum six new leaders. You bring your own situations, and we practise on them. Included: the online course Inclusive Leadership, based on my book Mind Growing Leadership.
From the expert who does it all to a leader who gives direction, involves people and has the tough conversations in time.
