Leadership as we know it, is failing us. It’s time for a new wave of leaders. Leaders who draw intelligence from their head, heart and senses. Leaders who know how to follow their inner GPS to navigate their own path and set their pace as they source insight from a world seemingly full of contradiction, complexity and separation.

It’s time for a more Interconnected Leader.

Through experiential leadership enquiry, this Deep Dive has been designed to equip changemakers with a toolkit of mindfulness and somatic leadership practices that will enable you to explore leading in a more natural and integrative way. Trusting the collective intelligence that is available to us to cultivate aliveness, openness, coherence and courage in ourselves, our organisations and society.

Walk away with the skills to:

Chart a course effectively in a complex and unpredictable world
Uncover their natural, authentic style and innate wisdom
Unleash compassion, courage and creativity
Develop leadership capabilities in connection and collective intelligence
Enhance well being

Areas of focus

Course material will highlight the latest science, leadership modalities and techniques to explore the many facets of interconnection, namely:

Body and mind as an intelligent, integrated system
Feminine and masculine leadership wisdom
Science-based neuroplasticity and habit formation
The social ecology of interconnected leadership

It will also offer important insights about interpersonal neurobiology of our body-mind connection to notice and apply the language of our entire somatic and emotional spectrums to generate solutions for ourselves, others and the environment.

Who is this for?

This program is specifically tailored for leaders in decision-making positions and in community organisations who are seeking deep understanding and useful techniques for themselves personally as well as leading others beyond conflict, individual identities and cultures such as ‘us’ vs. ‘them’ towards regenerative new solutions.

Structure

This 11-week Deep Dive offers alternating weeks of facilitated focused learning and small group experiential gathering, to bring a unique blend of self-reflective, interactive and guided processes to clarify what interconnection means to you and to others. This knowledge and practices can then be brought into our organisations and communities.

There are 6 facilitated focused learning sessions and 5 small group experiential gathering sessions.
