In one of the rare moments, I get to experience a senior leader opening up to share about a huge mistake made during a high stakes global project. The entire room was immediately uplifted by the story that was told. That set the stage for a week of powerful learning.
I had a fantastic time of facilitating the last day of the week long learning with Ryan and Alice.
The goal of the day was to help the leaders put their skills into a time of practice. We created a sandbox to achieve the purpose.
Through the experiential leadership labs and role plays, the leaders get to apply all the knowledge and skills they have learned over the week. Many get to practice navigating difficult conversations, practice noticing their overdone strengths under pressure and practice balancing care for subordinates and being accountable for performance.
Many realized how difficult it is to listen, to stay open and curious under pressure. The tension experienced brought out so much learning. The debrief was very rich and extremely insightful.
I’m so glad that the design created the heat for the participants. We simply shared our observations on how different ones showed up.
My goal was to help the leaders become better observers of themselves in how they show up and I felt I achieved that.
Looking forward to the rest of the sessions scheduled for the year!
