Self Leadership and Personal Mastery for Managers

Before a manager can lead others well they must be able to lead themselves. This course focuses on the inner discipline, self awareness and habits that underpin effective leadership. Participants examine their values, energy, mindset and behaviours, building the personal foundation that allows them to show up consistently as the leader their team needs.

What you will be able to do

  • Clarify the personal values and purpose that guide your leadership.
  • Build self awareness of your strengths, triggers and blind spots.
  • Manage your energy, focus and emotions across a demanding week.
  • Develop a growth mindset that turns setbacks into learning.
