The world needs leaders who are capable of remaining fully present amidst turmoil to effect a broader transformation of their ecosystem. At the foundation of this leadership talent lies the ability to pay attention to one’s attention, to calm one’s mind, to “inhabit” one’s body, and to remain steady amidst turbulence.
As Bill O’Brien, former CEO of Hanover Insurance, once said, “The success of an intervention depends on the inner condition of the intervener.” It is this inner state that we will explore together in this module.

Being an active participant in your relationships means no longer simply enduring them. It’s understanding the principles on which attentive and respectful listening relies. How to listen to your own emotions, distinguish them from feelings, understand their role, their functioning, and listen to their message. Using your body as an antenna to identify what is good for you and what is not. Listening to your intuition. It’s also about listening without judgment, without trying to solve, just offering a compassionate presence. Each participant will leave with immediately applicable tools.

Being an active participant in your relationships means no longer simply enduring them. It’s understanding the foundations of healthy and mature communication. It’s taking responsibility for your end of the relationship, knowing how to position yourself, set boundaries, ask, and explain. We will offer a process to help you develop clarity and fluidity in your exchanges and promote cooperation within your teams.

Questioning is a daily act. However, none of us have been trained to ask questions!
Most of us ask the same type of questions, which represent only 15% of the possibilities, and this is to get typical and rarely enriching answers. So, how can we ask questions differently to broaden the realm of possibilities, promote communication, grow, and help others grow? That’s what we will discover in this module.

This module will be an opportunity to discover how to see ourselves and our world more clearly and fully through the spectrum of polarities.
You will be invited to uncover some of your polarities and develop your ability to break free from restrictive binary thinking and to take multiple perspectives, shifting from a “either/or” mindset to a “both/and” mindset, and embracing complexity.

The particularly uncertain environment of recent months can lead to waiting, feeling powerless, or rushing into hasty and ill-suited decisions. What if grounding ourselves in the present moment provided us with the necessary perspective to illuminate our actions and lead our organizations more calmly? Building on the teachings received so far, you will experiment with how to generate new concrete pathways and more relevant solutions for action in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) context, leveraging collective intelligence.
