The Art of Leadership
Do you manage large teams of people and need to give them the tools to lead, not just manage? Perhaps you are a leader yourself and need support to transition to a new level of leadership? Maybe you need more tools to help you stay resilient in a world of change? Or maybe you need to develop your self-awareness to step into greater leadership?
Are you perhaps feeling overwhelmed with the challenges of leading in today’s world? Scared about another pandemic, global conflict, or economic crisis and need to feel more confident in how to lead in a volatile and uncertain world? Or perhaps you are emerging into new leadership responsibilities and need the time and space to recalibrate and refresh your leadership competencies?
The Art of Leadership is a leadership development programme for high potential and emerging leaders enabling you and your teams to master the 21st century skills needed to navigate the uncertainty and volatility that face our world today.
Our flagship programme, based on our founder’s experience of building and leading an innovative and award-winning social enterprise in China, Caroline brings a wealth of experience in helping new and emerging leaders take control of their own leadership development. In a series of 12 modules held over one year, topics include:
· Personal development for leadership success
· The interior journey of a leader
· Developing self-awareness
· Leading and empowering disparate and hybrid teams
· Presentation skills and confident communication, both online and offline
· Leadership influence in the 21st century
· Managing across cultures
· Engaging stakeholders
· Ethical leadership and integration of ESG
· Building resilience
· Mental health and wellbeing
· Dealing with uncertainty
Caroline is a warm and engaging master facilitator and knows intimately what it means to be able to bring out the best in you and your team. Caroline expertly weaves her background in theatre with her vast experience of leading from the ground up, to make the workshops both grounded in contemporary thinking about leadership, as well as first hand experience.
The format of the programme includes a monthly 3-hour online Zoom ‘masterclass’, lead by Caroline, which often uses skills and techniques based on her background in theatre, interspersed with practical advice and guidance on specific issues your team is likely to be going through, based on her own experience. The format gives plenty of time for plenary work, breakout sessions and one-to-one feedback through a live Q and A session open to all participants.
The Masterclass is then followed up with micro-learning through our online application on the Gnowbe portal, offering additional videos, articles, questions and answers, peer-group learning support and opportunities for further research. An option for small group coaching for teams to integrate the learning directly onto real-world problems your organisation is dealing with is also available, lead by our global facilitator team.
In common with all of our programmes, we use creative and participatory approaches to training and leadership development, such as the development of character and story that can be key assets in understanding your stakeholders and improving your communications; using the tools of acting to improve your presentation skills; and role play and ‘Forum’ Theatre to ‘rehearse for real life’ the individual behaviour change and larger-scale social change needed to bring about visionary thinking and doing in our leadership
