Success, effectiveness and fulfillment in today’s fast-paced, team-based, global work environments require a well developed ability to connect with others and build relationships. Understanding oneself is at the heart of this ability and central to effective workplace relationships, leadership and influence.
Self-awareness is the doorway to choice and adaptability and the integrity that comes from aligning your intention with your impact.
In this program, you will develop greater self awareness and a more profound understanding of your impact on other people, through the integrated use of core leadership concepts. The program will include tools, self-assessments and practices designed to develop core skills that are essential to leadership, and to building your performance, effectiveness and resilience in today’s complex, fast-moving organizations.
Leading Self emphasizes the practical application of Gestalt core concepts rather than just focusing on theory. Through active participation, you will learn and practice the skills that are central to connecting with others, managing stress, collaborating, demonstrating presence,
achieving personal awareness,
and understanding the power of an optimistic stance.
This program is a prerequisite for all other GISC leadership programs.* Why a prerequisite? Because we have identified the most vital competencies for your professional success and designed training that will enhance your ability to apply and build on these essential skills and values.
