BALCONY TIME - STRATEGIC THINKING SPACE FOR BUSY LEADERS

No time to think?

Join us for the next session of our complimentary “balcony” series: an efficient, 50-minutes of interactive reflection time to support your vertical leadership development.

You'll be guided up to take a balcony view (Heifetz) on how you're BEING as well as what you're DOING as a leader.


Our focus for this month’s session:

We know leadership can be lonely sometimes.

So this month we're going to share a tool and create a space where you can connect with other leaders to get support on a specific challenge you're facing.

You'll have the chance to get practical and imaginative help from a group of supportive peers so you can leave feeling nourished and with plenty of ideas for next steps!


WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

I loved being here - and love the time of the day the session is run because it sets me up for the day.
Great start to the work day - having some time to think about me.
We carry a lot of weight as leaders, and having a “balcony” moment from time to time is not only useful but necessary.

In this engaging session, we’ll create a nourishing space
designed to help you be at your best as a leader.

Will you join us?

No time to think?

You'll be guided up to take a balcony view (Heifetz) on how you're BEING as well as what you're DOING as a leader.


Our focus for this month's session:

How you think determines how you lead.

But how you think and respond today is not how you have always thought and responded. Over time, your perceptions and reactions change. The more conscious you become of your experience, the less constrained you are by your thoughts, emotions, and narratives, which opens up new possibilities for transformational action.

This month we're going to invite you to reflect on your leadership journey: where you've come from, where you are now, and where you are going. You'll experience a process that can help you better understand your own development and explore how you can realise your aspirations.

Making Change Stick - Overcoming Your Immunity to Change

Making Change Stick - Overcoming Your Immunity to Change

LinkedIn+posts+ITC+v1.jpg

An effective (and sustainable!) alternative to setting new years’ resolutions

  • Learn a proven process for successfully making that change you want to make - and getting it to stick

  • Unhook from the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back

  • Create a step change in how you’re able to be as a leader

 

Let’s make this year different

Have you ever set yourself a behaviour-change goal — say to delegate more, to set firmer boundaries on your time, or to get better at having courageous conversations — but as earnestly as you might have wanted to improve, found yourself making little to no progress?

If so, you're not alone.  Change can be hard!  In fact, some estimates suggest that as much as 80% of new year's resolutions fail to be achieved.

Fortunately, 30 years of research on adult (vertical) development has discovered a way to improve your odds of success.  The process comes from Harvard University researchers Bob Kegan and Lisa Lahey and is called Overcoming Immunity to Change. The reason it's so effective is that it intervenes at the level of beliefs rather than behaviours.

In this workshop, you'll have the opportunity to explore an area of your life that you'd like to get better in, which perhaps has proven resistant to change in the past.

You'll be guided through the process of creating your own personal Immunity to Change map, which will help you uncover aspects of your own psychology that may be keeping you from creating the personal change that you crave.

In this interactive, online workshop, you'll learn:

  • Why it can be so hard to change your behaviour (even when you really want to!)

  • How to create your own personal Immunity to Change map so you can get to the root of what's holding you back anytime you feel stuck

  • The proven process for shifting those stubborn limiting beliefs that are keeping you from realising your potential.

 

About Immunity to Change

ITC offers an actionable model for transforming our lives and our organisations. It can be applied to a wide variety of leadership and personal change goals, such as:

  • Improving your ability to receive critical feedback

  • Delegating in order to move an initiative forward

  • Creating a healthier work-life balance

  • Having more courageous conversations

  • Working more collaboratively within a group

  • Developing healthier eating or exercise habits.

FAQ

Where will this session be held?

This session will be delivered online via the Zoom video conferencing platform so you are welcome to join from anywhere! (And there is a scheduled break during the session so you’ll have the chance to stretch your legs.)

You'll receive a link to join the video call in your confirmation email after you've registered. If you've never used Zoom before, we recommend you click on the link at least five-minutes before the designated start time so that you can go through the process of installing the software.

  • a computer, tablet, or smart phone

  • headphones

  • a microphone

  • to have downloaded the Zoom Client for Meetings program to your device in advance

  • something to write on (eg paper and pencil, tablet and stylus).

Do I need to have my video on?

To maximise the experience for you and the other participants, we request that you have your video on and participate in all break-out groups.

Zoom is a video conferencing platform which means we have the opportunity to see each other in the main room and in breakout groups. This also means that we will be aware of each other more directly, including any movement or background activity visible to your computer camera. Please join the call from a quiet space, and plan to be fully present for this interactive session.

Will there be a recording of this session?

As this experience is highly interactive and participatory, with breakout room discussions, etc and we want to respect the confidentiality of the personal aspects people may choose to share, we will not be recording this session.

For this session, we’ve chosen to experiment with a Pay What It’s Worth model meaning you get to choose your level of investment. Don’t worry — when you click the link to register, we’ll provide plenty of guidance to support your decision-making. :)
