Module Overview

Every great leader has many important qualities that make them successful.

One of the most important of these leadership qualities is a strong sense of self and the ability to use it to lead by example. It involves having a good understanding of who you are, where you want to go and what you can accomplish, along with having the ability to control your emotions and behavior in a way that guides you toward success.  All leaders face challenges and setbacks, but self-aware leaders have a strong ability to self-regulate; to respond effectively to challenges rather than reacting to them. Self-awareness is one of the key elements of emotional intelligence (EQ) a term that refer to a person’s ability to identify and manage their emotions and identify and influence others’ emotions.

As part of Module 2, we will take a brief look at the human brain, and how, despite its highly-evolved structure, it can sometimes short-circuit, resulting in a “reptilian” survival response.  We will give you tools to help you achieve more effective and thoughtful responses that use your well-developed cognitive skills.

We’ll also examine the concepts of beliefs and mindsets, and how these can either mislead us into thinking we have limited choices or open our perspective to a wide range of options. Finally, we’ll talk about how you can shift from being “Mind-Full” to becoming “Mindful,” and show up a leader who cultivates focus, clarity, creativity, and compassion in the service of others.
