Dare to Lead™ – Learning to be brave with your life

Part 1 on 21 April 2020

&

Part 2 on 6 October 2020

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

Due to lockdown the 21 April was a virtual taster session (using Zoom) 6.30- 8.00pm and the follow up  will  take place on 6 October online also. This session was recorded.

The event details for 21 April were:

Daring leaders are self-aware, know how to have hard conversations, hold themselves and others accountable, lead with empathy and connection, reset quickly after disappointments and setbacks, and give and receive feedback – especially when it’s tough.

Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program…what Brené refers to as a “skill-based playbook for leaders.” The most significant finding from her latest research is that courage is not an inherent quality (you either have it or you don’t) but rather it is a collection of four skill sets that are teachable, measurable, and observable. These skill sets are:

  • Rumbling with Vulnerability:Facing risk, uncertainty, and emotional exposure with courage and clarity.
  • Living into our Values:Identifying, operationalising, and practicing the beliefs that we hold most important.
  • BRAVING Trust:Creating or deepening connections in relationships and teams based on the seven elements of trust.
  • Learning to Rise:Learning and growing from the failures, setbacks, and disappointments that are inevitable when we are brave with our lives.

Whether you are leader at work, a leader at home or recognise the importance of leading yourself, this session is for you.

On 21 April, we explored the four courage-building skillsets and shared some activities and ideas. The session was brilliant and the follow up session- Part 2 is again online and is on 6 October.  Looking forward to seeing you then if not before!

Being Bold and Brave

16 April 2019

What a great night! Marie helped us to find ways to 

  • Create a fulfilling life
  • Get some clarity on what we really want
  • Understand what is currently getting our way
  • Overcome the first barrier 

It was a fun, interactive evening delving into how we could be bolder and braver!  We found and practiced ways to tap into our inner strengths and then pulled on these resources to step out of our comfort zone and take the first initial brave and bold steps towards living our lives in a more fulfilling way.

Personal Impact – letting your best you shine through!

Personal Impact:

Letting your best you shine through!

 

22 January 2019

Making a good first impression is often top of our personal impact wish list – making sure that when we enter a room, we create the ‘right’ vibe about who we are and what we are capable of. And of course there are other ways in which we might want to have an impact and influence others’ impressions of us:

– what we are known for

– what we are liked for

– what we are trusted for

But how often do we feel frustrated that we are not being seen the way we want to be seen? That we are not recognised for having a strength or skill that we know we’ve got, but somehow others miss in us?

In this first session of 2019, Ginette took us through an evening of discovering our personal impact score and working out strategies to increase our scores through practical and fun exercises.

Unmasking the Impostor:

spotting and sorting impostor syndrome

17 July 2018

This session discussed the irrational but very ‘real’ self -doubt feeling known as Impostor Syndrome. It facilitated self-awareness, offered insight and provided tactics. Most importantly it opened up a conversation!
The session covered:
  • What is Impostor Syndrome
  • How to spot and sort it
  • Owning achievement
  • Getting rational with emotions
  • Being you in a ‘comparing world’

Massive ‘yay’ to this event – cleared so much of the feelings I have had all my life!

Trisha was very engaging and clearly knowledgeable in her field. Her style was informal in the best way.

Thank you so much for another great evening! A great presentation by a brilliant facilitator. I feel more confident and have a better outlook already!

An excellent and useful session with the perfect balance of theory and activities.

Came away feeling motivated and inspired. Great to hear other people’s thoughts and feelings on the topic. Thank you!

What a great event tonight! Was having such a hard day at work and nearly didn’t attend, so glad I did. Re-energised!

Felt better that others are in the same boat. Friendly group.

Made me feel more human! Also not to put such high demands on myself.

Great event. It’s nice to talk about a subject that is difficult to bring up at work (a male-dominated environment).

This was just the top-up on this subject that I needed. Trisha was a great presenter.

Entertaining speaker on a very interesting and emotive subject.

This was my first event – thank you for having me and making me feel so welcome. I though Trisha was a fabulous speaker – so insightful and inspirational 🙂 I look forward to future events.

Great location and food. Enjoyed the presentation greatly.

Introduction to NLP

25 April 2017

An Introduction to Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) with Ginette

Ever wonder why you sometimes have a ‘sixth sense’ about what’s going to happen, just before it does? Or how that nagging inner-voice knows just what to say to make you stop believing in yourself?
With an Introduction to NLP, Ginette took us through an evening of understanding what NLP is all about and how it can help us not only understand how our brains process information and make split-second decisions, but also what we can do to re-align our thoughts for heart and mind synergy, positivity and happiness!
