Moved to Lead - Developing embodied leadership
It is proven through research that the best leaders demonstrate an ability to overcome limiting behaviours and an awareness of their biobehavioural blind spots. These blind spots are created through experience and the natural tendency to default to our comfort response mechanisms. Over time these natural defaults can evolve into 'stuck' behaviours. When this happens leaders can find themselves plateauing in terms of their performance.
The Moved to Lead programme is a unique and innovative programme designed and rooted in the science which connects the mind and body; the physiological response to the brain and its bioneurological memory making function.
How will Moved to Lead help your leaders now?
Moved to Lead is a unique programme of facilitated, experiential, whole body/mind activities structured around the core competencies for effective leadership. It combines physical activities, language, feeling and interpretation to uncover insights around perception and personal growth:
- An initial forty-five minute workshop delivered virtually to set up and introduce the core principles, to build engagement and understanding in the process and to give learning and cognitive context to the programme.
- Five subsequent session lasting thirty minutes each which will give participants the opportunity to reflect on their response to the activity; exploring the connection between physical and emotional responses to stimuli based on the core five leadership attributes of self-awareness, authenticity, relating, systems awareness and achieving
- A closing workshop of forty-five minutes to share insights, develop personal commitments and actions to adapt leadership 'habits' to become more effective as leaders
What are the benefits of the Moved to Lead programme?
The programme will provide a much needed break from the day-to-day operational demands and give leaders the time and space to examine how they are present as leaders. It is specifically designed to provide a new and unique perspective to leadership styles and approaches. It is intended to re-centre, re-energise and refocus leaders. The 7-part virtual programme promises:
- A practical and physiological approach to understanding a leader's personal presence and response to a range of experiential stimuli
- A much needed 'time-out' to focus and re-energise
- Raised awareness of individual leadership limitations by opening up channels beyond the intellectual i.e. the somatic and the sensory
- Brand, new perspectives which provide powerful and personal insight whilst getting away from our seats to learn
- The opportunity to prepare for further leadership development opportunities using the full Leadership Circle Profile provided by Primeast
