Interconnected Leader
Learn how to remain present in a complex world.
Interconnected Leader was designed for empowering individuals to navigate the complexities of leadership by integrating mindfulness and somatic practices, fostering personal growth and collective harmony. Join us in our 11 - week virtual program.
Leadership as we know it, is failing us. It’s time for a new wave of leaders. Leaders who draw intelligence from their head, heart and senses. Leaders who know how to follow their inner GPS to navigate their own path and set their pace as they source insight from a world seemingly full of contradiction, complexity and separation.
Through experiential leadership enquiry, this Deep Dive has been designed to equip changemakers with a toolkit of mindfulness and somatic leadership practices that will enable you to explore leading in a more natural and integrative way. Trusting the collective intelligence that is available to us to cultivate aliveness, openness, coherence and courage in ourselves, our organisations and society.
It’s time for a more Interconnected Leader.
Who is this program for?
This program is specifically tailored for leaders in decision-making positions and in community organisations who are seeking deep understanding and useful techniques for themselves personally as well as leading others beyond conflict, individual identities and cultures such as ‘us’ vs. ‘them’ towards regenerative new solutions.
Key Takeaways
During these eleven weeks, we will explore some of today’s cultural, social, and environmental challenges. Delving into why it is that our organisations and communities so often generate outcomes that no one wants and how we can shift both ourselves and the systems around us in our organisations and contexts.
The Interconnected will introduce you to tools, practices and frameworks that support you to deepen your understanding and awareness of the dynamics and structures around you and in your own thinking that bring about these issues from a leadership and management context. We do this through exploring ideas of paradox, complexity and the emerging future.
The Interconnected Leader offers a learning setting that is often more hands-on, interpersonal, collaborative, and transformative than what you may have had previously in online programs.
