Presence and Leadership Roles

Participants will practice and receive coaching on how to seamlessly toggle between distinct leadership roles in different contexts to communicate confidently and impactfully.

Program Overview:

In this program, we identify and explore the four most pervasive roles in leadership (Captain, Conceiver, Champion, Collaborator) and when best to use them. Through role playing and other experiential exercises, participants will learn to employ situational leadership styles to work different stakeholders to frame the future, take charge in the present, get buy-in, and champion people and processes in times of crisis or transition.

What Past Participants Are Saying:

  • “Really engaging, thought-provoking, well-run and outcomes-oriented. Content that is typically considered 'soft' but done in a 'hard' way!”

  • “My facilitators were spot on with feedback. They could quickly identify the point of error paired with a feasible solution that we could all quickly implement.”

  • “It was a way of thinking about leadership that I hadn't thought through or practiced much before. And because of that uniqueness, I feel like it stretched me in ways I wasn't completely aware I needed to be stretched.”

  • “The amount of growth I experienced and the tools I was able to walk away with blew my mind given that it took place in one day!”

  • “Really forced me to get comfortable with my growth areas, but in a very safe + motivating way. My facilitators helped me feel present and take risks in circumstances I would normally have avoided at all costs!”

  • “This program really helped me put names to the way in which I show up as a leader. It was helpful and insightful.”

  • “This program was incredibly helpful and taught me to be more self-aware as a leader. I really learned to think about the feeling I’m trying to convey, and make sure that my verbs & actions match.”

  • “This program allowed me to take risks in areas of weakness in a safe space. I learned ways to connect with people authentically which will improve my PD, staff meetings, etc.”

  • “I feel even more confident in my ability to collaborate and I learned even more about myself with what lies ‘beneath my iceburg’. I loved the insights on the 4 leadership styles.”
