Workshop Objectives
This program delivers a concise and pragmatic framework for effective leadership during crisis and change. You will learn to build your presence as a leader, gain deep insight into the situations you face, and forge robust personal and institutional connectivity. You will leave the program better prepared to successfully confront complex challenges and navigate uncertainty.
Workshop Value Proposition
It’s impossible to prepare for every contingency. Yet with essential skills and techniques, you can learn to face high-stakes moments with confidence.
Guiding a team or organization through crisis and change begins with comfort with ambiguity. You will never know everything, yet you have to act. Effective crisis leaders build islands of certainty around core values and principles that restore calm and foster resilience amidst the chaos. Darrell shows you how to navigate even the most turbulent situations so you, too, can confidently take the reins in any challenge.
Learn the three dimensions of the powerful Meta-Leadership framework and practice method that empower you to lead more intentionally and confidently.
Understand how to establish a culture of trust and accountability that focuses and grounds both small teams and large, no matter the challenge.
Prepare for multiple futures, both foreseeable and difficult to discern—so you’re ready to nimbly address whatever reality unfolds.
Workshop Attendees
This workshop is designed for anyone facing dramatic change, not just for emergency services. These days, the world and technology are changing so rapidly, that all leaders can benefit from the mindsets that are learned in crisis.
