Masterclass topics contributing to successful adaptable leadership that engages and brings people with you included navigating uncertainty, resilience, wellbeing, the power of positive, understanding mindset, motivation and confidence.

It isn’t just that Sue brings together different fields and disciplines. It’s that she actively disagrees with siloing leadership and mindset topics. The difference she brings is her interdisiplinary attitude and the way that she gets you to look at your problems.

How do you inspire a positive culture and bring people together to keep going forwards through change, uncertainty and other stressful situations? The way we think and talk about these situations has subtle and unintuitive influences on our mindset, our decisions and the actions we take, which has significant impact on the outcomes we create and achieve.

This highly interactive session gives you mindset tools to be flexible and adaptable for yourself and to support your team, illustrated through the lens of a sailing adventure in a small yacht across the Coral Sea and South Pacific Ocean. It starts with changing your ‘route map’ metaphor to sailing across the ocean, constantly adjusting to the immediate situation while remaining consistently true to your ultimate purpose and direction.

Discover Sue’s powerful PEP framework which is the foundation for clarity, commitment and confidence. Contribute your perspectives using menti.com. Discuss your insights in breakout rooms. Gain insights to see the options that not only get you through the immediate situation but also set you up for success further along.

Outcomes:

• Change your perspective and the way you think and feel about change and uncertainty, so you can be more confident, focused and flexible in how you respond.

• Understand why change, uncertainty and other challenges can cause stress and fatigue.

• Use the ‘PEP Framework’ and sailing metaphor to inspire confidence and hope and be consistent, dynamic and flexible through uncertainty and change.

• Support yourself and your people to remain positive. Listen to language to detect where you focus attention and build more can-do thinking by focusing on what you can control.

• Take control of your mindset. ‘What’s your story?’ Become aware of unconscious ‘mindset hijacks’ which affect your decision making.

• ‘Change the words to change your story’ and turn can’t do thinking into can-do thinking.

Leading through Uncertainty & Change

Gain powerful mindset tools that enable you to confidently embrace change and uncertainty, and be consistent as a leader while being flexible and adapting to changing circumstances.

Navigating change and uncertainty is like sailing into a headwind. “You can’t sail too close to the wind” – the only way to make progress into the wind is to tack across the wind.

I loved the way Sue described that helplessness when you sit facing into the wind – maybe the way you want to go – with everything flapping and swinging all over the place and it’s not until you use the wind and go off at an angle that you can actually make progress. To someone who has never sailed it is counterintuitive but I think we’ve all done some veering off at a tangent in order to move forwards this past year.

Dolphins Sharks and Jellyfish: Unintuitive Influences on Decision-making

Gain powerful mindset tools that enable you to be flexible and make wiser choices in the moment that solve the immediate problem or challenges AND set you up for success later on.
