Leading From Within: Developing Your Personal Leadership Style

Learning objectives and content:

This programme will develop each leader’s personal effectiveness by: 

• Defining emotions: specifically, why we have them, and what can happen to us as we experience them.
• Identifying our emotional triggers.
• Recognising physical responses emotions generate in us and learning to calm them through breathing.
• Naming emotions in others, and developing empathy – seeing things from other perspectives. 
• Applying the Emotional Intelligence model so people recognise what stage they are at. ‘Name it, don’t be it’.
• Introducing Transactional Analysis: Parent, Adult, Child. Defining characteristics of Critical and Nurturing Parent, and Free and Adapted Child.
• Associating parent and child behaviours with physical, vocal and language choices, to better be able to recognise them in self and others.
• Explaining how the adult brings a balanced role to a situation, both intellectually and behaviourally. 
• Defining Drama Triangle positions that we are all capable of reverting to in pressurised and emotional situations. Exploring how they ‘trigger’ responses in others.
• Introducing the Winners Triangle Adult position as an option for each of the ‘drama’ positions. Practising shifting from Drama to Winner positions in specific custom scenarios.
