Participants comment on the Nine Conversations in Leadership™ intervention
Nine Conversations in Leadership™ intervention participants share their experiences"The first conversation showed me that our team does actually share similar views on leadership and gave me a thorough insight into the difference between a manager and a leader. It was so valuable to hear everyone's feedback on their own points of view, encouraged by our facilitator. This session has provided a really firm foundation for what promises to be a challenging but really insightful intervention."
"I got to know my colleagues in a way that I've missed in our normal day-to-day routines. The first two conversations have changed my view on leadership - I've realised that I've always viewed it from a line manager's perspective and now view it with a specialist's approach. The facilitator was great at stimulating discussion among peers who don't normally discuss matters like this and the session has reminded me about my true reasons for wanting to be a leader. I now understand the different perspectives and dynamics in our team, which will help me so much on my leadership journey."
"The conversation about Community made me realise that the way I work should rather be about what I can bring to the community - not what it can bring to me. I've also learned that a true leader leads from within the community, and does not try to manage from afar."
"I emerged from the conversation on Alignment with a new understanding of the importance of clear communication in motivating an organisation, as well as understanding how essential it is to align the different aspects of my life. I've also learned that my communication skills are not as good as I thought they were - this has inspired me to focus on developing these."
"The conversation about Alignment taught me about my role as a leader in making sure that my community is aligned with the goals and vision of the organisation I work for. I've realised that we all face challenges, and that it is a conscious choice to overcome them - I've drawn so much strength from this session that I now have the courage to embark on a journey I've been afraid of. This conversation has given me practical tools that I can use to lead my team."
"The conversation on Alignment has given me insight into the frames of reference in which my colleagues operate and I've realised how similar our drivers are. The conversation technique is a great way for us to improve our common understanding and I've got so much more insight into my team. This conversation has also challenged me to reflect on how I can align myself on a variety of levels."
"Developing Individuals has been an insightful and interesting conversation which has helped me identify specific growth opportunities. It's given me structure to my understanding of my role as a coach and has made me aware of how important it is to spend time on developing the people around me. It's also given me a clearer understanding of my own objectives and shortfalls, as well as the need to balance my own needs with those of the company."
