Intentional Focus:
Essential Leadership Skills for the Workplace
Time and energy management, productivity, confidence, communication, problem-solving, conflict management, and collaboration skills are more important in determining success and satisfaction among similarly trained colleagues than academic knowledge or technical skills.
Without these crucial behavioural skills, we are unable to fully leverage our education, talent, and experience in a sustainable manner. It is amazing what happens when you do!
“For the first time in a long time I feel excited about the future.”
The Program:
During Intentional Focus you will learn and develop these essential skills and behaviours. You will also increase your energy, emotional happiness, mental focus, and sense of meaning and purpose in life. And you will have fun doing it!
You will be supported to take on a challenge that will change your perspective of what you are capable of and test behaviour which will lay the foundation for your continued success.
This program is a deep personal and professional development dive, with practice and activities to do in between sessions. If you are ready for that, and available for all sessions, message at karolyn@windingpathinc.com to secure your spot.
Approach:
Research in education and brain-based learning theory indicates that experiential education is the most effective method for accelerating meaningful behavioural change and skill development. When we learn through experience, inquiry, critical thinking, and interaction, our insight is more likely to lead to perspective shifts that will change our behaviour in a meaningful and lasting manner.
Timing:
You will attend seven full-day group sessions from 8:55 am to 4 pm and one half-day session from 8:55am to 12pm. You will test behaviour, review material, and practice skills in between sessions. Lunch is on your own from approximately 12-12:45 pm.
Please check to ensure you are able to attend all sessions prior to registering.
