Leading Authentically

How we “show up at work” can impact our organisations in both intentionally positive and unintentionally negative ways. Becoming more aware of this, therefore enables us to enhance our own leadership effectiveness, healthiness and authenticity and the effectiveness of the teams we lead.

This programme has been designed for senior leaders in the education sector, including CEOs, Principals, Deputies, and those responsible for service delivery in educational organisations.

Delegates will come together for five in-person workshops, which include:

• What Is Really Going On In Organisations: An introduction to the unconscious.
• Why change is so difficult and what change can evoke in us.
• Leadership, inclusion and Oedipus.
• Identity and bringing the competing parts of ourselves to work.
