Supercharge Your Leadership: Upgrade Your Operating System
The pandemic and all of its attendant challenges require you to be a better, more adaptive, and more resilient leader. It’s what the times call for. You need to upgrade your personal operating system not by working harder, but by transforming the way you think.
In this program, you will learn how to harness the kind of objectivity that makes you an island of calm in the tsunami of fear and doubt. Intrigued? If so, this program is for you.
Learn whether you are an Asserter, Achiever, or Affirmer and, more importantly, what those styles mean for your everyday leadership, your ability to operate under stress, and your impact on the team and organizational culture. Learn the nine attributes of “actualized” leaders, people who effectively manage their stress and are consequently more resilient and less reactive and have more willing followers. And, learn how to supercharge your leadership by harnessing and amplifying your use of the nine attributes so you are more self-actualized, and the leader you aspire to be. Check out www.alpfree.com/arudia for a preview of your leadership style.
Upgrade Your Personal Operating System
You are resilient. However, the challenges presented by COVID-19, from the stress of working at home or colleague, personal, and family wellbeing to dealing with the financial fallout, are unprecedented. This is hard. Now is NOT the time to work harder; it’s the time to upgrade your personal leadership operating system so you are energized when you think about how to make the most of the upcoming challenges. You will learn how to:
  • Tap into your strengths when needed most, including fortifying confidence, performance, and renewal;
  • Recognize your leadership style’s particular challenges, and be able to mitigate the effect of those challenges, thereby strengthening your ability to lead, manage and collaborate; and
  • Use strategies for remaining effective in the face of difficulties while developing greater resilience over the long term.

For leaders, managers, and staff.
Style Matters: How Cognitive Diversity Affects Your Work
  • Have you ever wondered why a colleague, friend, or family member seems to approach life so differently? They are either overly structured or not at all. Either way, the difference seems to get in the way, or does it? Join Anne Collier to learn about different problem-solving styles and what style means for collaboration, managing, and leadership. Based on the work of Dr. Michael J. Kirton, who developed Adaption-Innovation Theory, learn where you fall on the Adaption-Innovation Continuum and what that means for brainstorming in meetings, solving problems with colleagues, and managing both up and down. Participants will learn how to:
  • Maximize their problem-solving style through awareness and personal effectiveness techniques;
  • Use insight to navigate struggles that can arise from working with colleagues with different styles, transforming the experience into a positive one; and
  • Lead, manage, and collaborate more effectively by better understanding and appreciating one’s own and others’ problem-solving styles.
For leaders, managers, and staff.
Tools For Win-Win Conversations When You Need Them Most
  • Have you ever thought you could have handled a workplace conversation better? You either came across as defensive or didn’t say what you needed to. In this session, you will learn how to maintain your equanimity and efficacy as you work with colleagues to solve problems, address performance and collaboration challenges, and powerfully share your ideas. Anne Collier will share both The Arudia Win-Win Conversation Model and The Arudia Coaching Model, which will give you what you need to actualize a problem-solving mindset in yourself and others, as you develop trust and create synergistic relationships with colleagues. At its core, the Win-Win mindset and corresponding techniques are more than just the tactical tools that give you what your need to when you need it the most. They are a critical step in your development as a professional and a leader.
  • Participants will learn how to:
  • Approach “difficult conversations” with confidence and the skills with which to transform the conversation into a positive experience;

Leadership in a New Culture of Belonging
  • Once an organization experiences belonging, almost as a matter of course, diversity, equity, and inclusion materialize. We all crave belonging. Creating a culture of belonging requires a special kind of leadership – the kind that is a break from the traditional authority and toughness of the past. The leadership must be authentic, committed, and have the courage to be vulnerable. This is the leader of the future who thrives on the creation of prosperity and connection within the organization and with like-minded peers. The leader’s tool is the authentic self: who ensures that everyone feels they belong, are connected, and are cared for by the organization. The very nature of belonging is that no-one is alone, and and everyone both supports and is supported. This session will present what is necessary to actualize your authentic leadership and share strategies for achieving the culture you already envision.
