Our world is one of rapid, constant change, continually presenting us with new, unprecedented challenges. The demands of this type of environment can be hard on us, and may threaten our ability to cope personally and lead well. When we grow our buoyancy – a sense of grounded optimism – we can develop greater resilience and the ability to weather any storm, and support others to do the same, creating resilient organisational cultures.  

During this workshop, we explore tools to navigate change, challenge and stress with a sense of buoyancy. We look at strategies to manage our energy and develop our resilience over time.  

Through this session, we will: 

• Learn about buoyancy and stress management to thrive in challenging environments 
• Grow resilience and energy management for a happier, healthier work life 
• Develop the ability to accept and navigate environments of constant change 

The ability to communicate clearly and exude a confident leadership presence are skills that can be learned. As a leader, your words and demeanour set the tone for your team, influence customer experiences, and drive business outcomes. This session invites you to explore and enhance your communication skills and leadership presence to lead with authenticity and impact. 

We explore the core elements of effective communication and how they align with your leadership style. Through interactive exercises and real-world scenarios, you’ll identify communication strengths and areas for growth, learning techniques to convey your message clearly, and ensure alignment with your team.

Through exploration of these areas, you will learn to: 

• Identify the core characteristics of your leadership presence
• Communicate clearly and concisely to create shared understanding, commitment, and to delegate effectively 
• Shift between technical detail and strategic messaging based on audience and context 
• Practice curating both your message and your delivery for maximum clarity and resonance 
• Build the confidence to articulate your value both individually and as part of a high-performing team

It is natural for our minds to baulk in the face of complexity. But as our organisations grow in size and sophistication, our capacity to meet complexity with poise and find ways to reason creatively and holistically is essential. We need to be curious and ask ourselves: What is the difference between “complicated” and “complex” problems, and why is this important? How do we identify and solve complex challenges?  

In this session, we will: 

• Adopt a systems-thinking lens to gain a shared view of key complex scenarios we currently face and work together to begin to unpack these 
• Get clear on the assumptions we’re making, and becoming intentional about the levers we pull 
• Explore the common “mind traps” we can fall into when working in complexity, discuss how they show up for us individually and in our teams 
• Learn practices to navigate and overcome these mind traps 

Leaders are often told to “think more strategically,” but what does that really mean? Strategic thinking goes beyond daily operational decisions, focusing on long-term vision, innovation, and questioning the status quo.

In this session, you’ll explore how to shift between tactical and strategic thinking, enabling you to navigate complexities with a broader perspective. You’ll uncover core issues, identify opportunities, and align solutions with your organisation’s long-term goals.

By the end, you’ll learn to:

• Identify and navigate organisational complexities through a strategic lens

• Move seamlessly between tactical and strategic leadership

• Apply strategic thinking principles to your leadership

• Communicate strategic insights effectively and compellingly
