What will you learn?
You will learn by doing within an immersive business simulation, led by professional actors, where you explore your motivations, strengths and blind spots. We work within 3 dimensions:
- Authenticity: your unique set of qualities
You will learn how to bring forward your authentic business self and use it to make a strong impact on others, and ultimately forge agreements. - Empathy: connecting to others
You incorporate a 'listen first' approach to effective individual and group communication. You also learn how to connect and respond to management and client priorities while maintaining the power of your authentic self. - Collaboration: achieving results
You will discover techniques that help you collaborate under pressure, and seize opportunities during meetings.
Your course begins with a 30 minute 1-on-1 online session to define a personal baseline and extract your unique learning goals. After the masterclass we plan a second 1-on-1 online session to review your personal process and convert your learning into individualised advice and actions.
