Inside Out Training Programme

We are inviting you to consider a deeper, more authentic way to lead that will help you cultivate resilience for yourself and your teams in our fast-paced, uncertain and constantly changing world. 

We want to share and build a new way of thinking about resilience, defined by the Resilience Leadership Institute as: “The ability to effectively address challenge, change, and complexity, and in doing so, to be enhanced, not diminished by these experiences.”

‘Inside Out’’ will help you:

1. Develop greater self-awareness. You will gain a better understanding of your triggers, the lens’ through which you see the world and your internal belief systems (about yourself and others), enabling you to be more authentic in your leadership. 

2. Develop compassion for yourself and others. You will learn to notice and name the judgements you make about yourself and others that can keep us stuck in negative thought patterns, and erode our resilience, well being, energy and effectiveness. 

3. Build agency and control of your own environment. You will discover opportunities to set boundaries and choose responses & behaviours that serve you better, allowing you to be more responsive and resilient.

Programme Overview

The programme will introduce you to the following:

• Key concepts from the field of psychology that are commonly used in coaching to help leaders understand themselves and their staff better. This will include understanding common states of mind, communication patterns and the stories we create and tell ourselves that erode our self-worth and hinder our performance. 

• Tools, frameworks and practices that will help you to cultivate resilient leadership. This will include understanding your habits of mind, adjusting how you respond to challenges, cultivating healthy relationships and communicating with passion and purpose. 

• Practices that cultivate protective awareness in leaders and help you to reduce stress and burnout for yourselves and for others in your organisation. This will include how the practice of compassion and kindness can be a powerful motivating force, allowing you to be ‘kind to people’, including yourself, ‘whilst being tough on issues’.

You will be guided by Maggie and Astrid, who draw on their extensive experience, which they developed through their own leadership journeys and through the work they are now doing with leaders and their teams in the UK and globally.
