Handling High Pressure Leadership
3rd October 1:00pm - 2:00pm UK time I £4.80
Join us for the next instalment of our Masterclass series with Nick Mayhew, the Founder and Managing Director of Alembic Strategy.
Watch a clip of our previous session below:
Whether you are:
- A leader who is burned out, stressed out, or struggling to cope in a toxic culture.
- A leader who is in a thriving culture, and is still looking to stretch performance further.
- A coach eager to learn new tools and expand their coaching into more difficult contexts.
Working on your Flexible Mindset is a deeply researched way to increase what you can handle. The 6 Elements are:
-
- Avoidance 🚫
- Accepting things as they are 👍
- Harnessing the energy of difficult feelings to propel you forwards 🔄
- Committing to action 👣
- Embracing experience 🌟
- Maintaining perspective 👓
These are an incredible combination for elevating your leadership. This masterclass series is designed to help you navigate and handle the hard conversations of life with excellence. As an expert in leading with a Flexible Mindset, in each session Nick will break down the concepts and provide a wide range of accessible techniques with clear objectives and measures, allowing you to expand your emotional range and capability.
In our next session, we’ll explore the element of avoidance and how to avoid it. By far the most common behaviour, which we all experience at some time, when faced with challenging or difficult situations is avoidance. Often this is accompanied by Layered Looping, Ruminating, Sleeplessness, and leaky mood changes. If you are curious to learn how come along to this Masterclass.
This subject is a real passion of Nick's, so much so that he gained an MSc in Neuroscience and Psychology of Mental Health to deepen his understanding of how the mind works under pressure.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- What we mean by 'Avoidance'.
- How to recognise this normal, safety-oriented response, catch it early and rapidly return to choicefulness.
- The difference between helpful and unhelpful avoidance and how to differentiate them.
Are you ready to take control of your reactions in the moment and improve your leadership? If so, join us for the price of a coffee at just £4.80 incl. VAT. You’ll leave with practical tools to implement right away.
