Leading in Uncertain Times

The world is changing faster than ever. Uncertainty has become the new normal, impacting everything from American politics and economic stability to disruptive technologies and supply chains. As a leader, you're not just navigating these turbulent waters yourself – you're responsible for guiding your team through them too. Are you prepared to lead effectively in this environment?

"Leading in Uncertain Times" is a research-based and practice-oriented workshop that provides you with the tools and strategies to not only weather the storm, but to emerge stronger and more resilient. 

Leading Self: Learn how your brain is wired to react to uncertainty and how to productively respond in the moment. Take part in practical exercises that help you shift perspectives, regulate emotions, and stay focused. Not only will you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and physiological reactions, but you will learn how to manage them. 

Connecting With Others: No one wants to navigate uncertainty alone. Your ability to build strong, trusting relationships in a psychologically safe environment is crucial to resilience. Learn practical strategies for cultivating trust grounded in character, competence, and caring. Discover the power of psychological safety and why it’s the antidote to fear. Walk away with a practical framework for productively managing your next team meeting. 

Taking Decisive Action: Once leaders manage themselves and connect with others, they are ready to act. Recognizing cognitive bias and understanding the difference between thinking fast and slow facilitate action. Leaders also gain a set of tools for decision-making under uncertainty: (1) a proven problem-solving approach for groups and teams, (2) a matrix for prioritizing work, (3) a method for shifting from “either/or” to “both/and” thinking, and more. 

This workshop is designed for managers, directors, executives, and anyone who wants to enhance their leadership skills in the face of uncertainty. Whether you're leading a small team or a large organization, the insights and tools provided in this workshop will be invaluable.
