Reflective Practice For Leaders

28 days of reflective practice for leaders

This course, Reflective Practice for Executive Leaders, is 4 weeks of structured, embodied practice that teaches you how to stop, to notice, and to learn from your own experience.

Each day takes less than 15 minutes, and each week builds on the last. And by the end, you will have a practice that stays with you as a way of leading from the inside out.

Know Yourself Reflective Practice

Your journey begins within

Your journey to Executive Leadership isn’t about moving to a different place. It’s about growing into the person you want to be – your best self as a leader. And that journey has to start with knowing who you are now, and identifying who you could be at your best.

This means being able to envision yourself at a future time, recognising the resources you already have, knowing what you need to achieve, and then seeing and feeling yourself achieving your vision. This is the essential work of conscious leadership development.

Brand Yourself Reflective Practice

Personal branding for organisational success

The reason some people climb the career tree faster and higher than others is not just down to skills, experience and qualifications. You are more likely to be selected for increasingly responsible positions based on how others perceive, think, and feel about you.

That perception is called Brand YOU. By understanding and implementing personal branding concepts, you can learn how to be the CEO of your career, life or business.

Grow Leaders Reflective Practice

Creating the environment for success for all

Leaders both deliberately and unconsciously create environments and conditions where they can tend, nurture and encourage their seedlings to grow. They, in turn, enable and empower other leaders to tend and grow their seedlings. They do not just water them and leave; they add magical ingredients that help them to thrive.

Growing yourself and other leaders is a transformational process. It is alchemy. Alchemy is a magical transformational process.

Transformational alchemic leadership can inspire positive changes in those who follow.
