Empowering people in the age of agility- Cornerstone (on-demand)

Over the past two years, the how, when, where and why of work have been challenged like never before. We have learned that change is the only constant. When we look to the market – we can see the ‘never normal again’ workplace affecting businesses in a number of ways. Research from McKinsey during the pandemic showed that businesses that adopted an “agile model” were able to respond fast and accelerate through change, making them more successful. Learning is the centrepoint to remain agile as it helps people to adapt to new environments, growing and building a mentality that futureproofs against unpredictability. In this session we will look at how the playing field has fundamentally changed, as well as three learning principles which will help you to master that change.

Calm Your Inner Critic

PLEASE NOTE THIS SESSION IS NOW FULL WITH A SIGNIFICANT WAITING LIST.

 

------------------

Grow Your Skills!

While some of us have a louder inner critic than others, we are all familiar with our own self-criticism. It’s that voice that says to us ‘you’re not good enough’, ‘you’re making a fool out of yourself’ or ‘everyone else is better than you’. We commonly experience our inner critic in the workplace in the form of impostor syndrome, where we believe that we are going to be caught
out as a fraud, and that we don’t deserve our successes. But we can calm our inner critic by building our own self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is the belief that we have the ability to execute behaviours necessary to achieve specific performance goals that we may have for ourselves. We enhance our own self-efficacy by shifting our behaviours, which in turn influence our mindset and our feelings.
In 90 minutes, you will have:
• Understood what the inner critic is, and when it’s likely to be activated
• Discovered stereotype threat and impostor syndrome
• Explored the mindset shift needed to calm your inner critic
• Discovered the tactics that help to increase self-efficacy and calm your inner critic.

Storytelling

------------------

Grow Your Skills!

Dry facts, information and data can be transformed into compelling, persuasive messages through the use of story. From the Ancient Greeks to established religions, from entertaining children to winning elections, stories have always been a powerful force for conveying information in a way that entertains, resonates, inspires and endures. We can all tell powerful stories, but often we don't. Is it because we prefer the safer rhythm of everyday conversation, or are unsure about how to construct a story that will have the right impact? Or maybe we’ve simply never considered how stories can help us in our everyday lives. Whatever the reason, we are missing out on a powerful tool to communicate at work. Storytelling is like chess – it takes minutes to understand and years to master. But if you don't know the rules, how can you begin?
In 90 minutes you will have:
▪ Seen why stories are such a powerful tool and how you can use them to influence,
engage and inspire
▪ Uncovered opportunities for you to use storytelling at work
▪ Understood how to convert dry data and facts into a compelling business story

Unleash Your Creativity

PLEASE NOTE THIS SESSION IS NOW FULL WITH A SIGNIFICANT WAITING LIST.

------------------

Grow Your Skills!

By following a creative process we will be able to fully understand the problem and generate innovative ideas to solve it. Our education, our upbringing, our employers and, often, our friends, stifle our creative thoughts with reactions such as ‘don’t be so stupid’ or ‘you can’t do that here’. With unpredictable outcomes and a propensity to ‘just do it’, thinking creatively can seem
like an unnecessary indulgence. It isn’t. Not only will creativity enrich our lives but it is also the most powerful way to make things faster, simpler, easier, more enjoyable and altogether better. There is no such thing as someone who isn’t creative, just someone who’s forgotten how. The challenge is to ignite the imagination we had as children and apply it in our adult lives.
This workout is the ideal introduction or refresher for anyone who wants to innovate but feels that they’ve lost the knack (or wonders if they ever had it).
In 90 minutes you will have:
▪ Busted some of the myths about creativity and understood what stimulates your
creative juices
▪ Discovered different types of creative thinking and which is your natural preference
▪ Understood what happens when we think creatively and the unconscious blocks we create
to prevent it happening
▪ Recognised how to create the right environment for your creativity to flourish
▪ A variety of practical techniques that you can use alone or with others to generate
‘out of the box’ thinking

We can all tell powerful stories, but often we don't. Is it because we prefer the safer rhythm of everyday conversation, or are unsure about how to construct a story that will have the right impact? Or maybe we’ve simply never considered how stories can help us in our everyday lives. Whatever the reason, we are missing out on a powerful tool to communicate at work. Storytelling is like chess – it takes minutes to understand and years to master. But if you don't know the rules, how can you begin?
In 90 minutes you will have:
▪ Seen why stories are such a powerful tool and how you can use them to influence,
engage and inspire
▪ Uncovered opportunities for you to use storytelling at work

Calm Your Inner Critic

PLEASE NOTE THIS SESSION IS NOW FULL WITH A SIGNIFICANT WAITING LIST.

Grow Your Skills!

While some of us have a louder inner critic than others, we are all familiar with our own self-criticism. It’s that voice that says to us ‘you’re not good enough’, ‘you’re making a fool out of yourself’ or ‘everyone else is better than you’. We commonly experience our inner critic in the workplace in the form of impostor syndrome, where we believe that we are going to be caught
out as a fraud, and that we don’t deserve our successes. But we can calm our inner critic by building our own self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is the belief that we have the ability to execute behaviours necessary to achieve specific performance goals that we may have for ourselves. We enhance our own self-efficacy by shifting our behaviours, which in turn influence our mindset and our feelings.
In 90 minutes, you will have:
• Understood what the inner critic is, and when it’s likely to be activated
• Discovered stereotype threat and impostor syndrome
• Explored the mindset shift needed to calm your inner critic
• Discovered the tactics that help to increase self-efficacy and calm your inner critic.

Unleash Your Creativity

PLEASE NOTE THIS SESSION IS NOW FULL WITH A SIGNIFICANT WAITING LIST.

------------------ 

Grow Your Skills!

By following a creative process we will be able to fully understand the problem and generate innovative ideas to solve it. Our education, our upbringing, our employers and, often, our friends, stifle our creative thoughts with reactions such as ‘don’t be so stupid’ or ‘you can’t do that here’. With unpredictable outcomes and a propensity to ‘just do it’, thinking creatively can seem
like an unnecessary indulgence. It isn’t. Not only will creativity enrich our lives but it is also the most powerful way to make things faster, simpler, easier, more enjoyable and altogether better. There is no such thing as someone who isn’t creative, just someone who’s forgotten how. The challenge is to ignite the imagination we had as children and apply it in our adult lives.
This workout is the ideal introduction or refresher for anyone who wants to innovate but feels that they’ve lost the knack (or wonders if they ever had it).
In 90 minutes you will have:
▪ Busted some of the myths about creativity and understood what stimulates your
creative juices
▪ Discovered different types of creative thinking and which is your natural preference
▪ Understood what happens when we think creatively and the unconscious blocks we create
to prevent it happening
▪ Recognised how to create the right environment for your creativity to flourish
▪ A variety of practical techniques that you can use alone or with others to generate
‘out of the box’ thinking

Grow your Career!

Some people have all the luck. Make sure you’re one of them. Some people do have more luck than others. But it’s not because of the socks they wear or the way they were born. It’s down to how they think. Extensive research on what makes some people achieve their dreams, while their equally talented peers do not, shows that the answer lies not in setting easier goals. In fact, it’s often the opposite: people with bold ambitions are just as likely to achieve them as those with slighter ones. The difference between people who determine their destiny and those who let it unfold, lies in the way they look at the world around them. Even better, the ways of thinking that put you in charge of your future also make you healthier, happier and heaps more popular. Your future is in your head. Find out how to get it out.
In 60 minutes you will have:
▪ Realised how the way you think will determine your destiny
▪ Explored how to think about success and failure so they both spur you on just the same
▪ Practised how to turn misfortune into a lucky break
▪ Understood when and how to take responsibility so you regain control
▪ A renewed energy to go out and make the most of your life
