WELCOME!
Evolutionary Leadership Program
I am so thrilled you are here and look forward to exploring the leadership modules with you in the coming weeks. If you have not already, feel free to check out my bio on the main website to learn more about me :)
In the meantime, I just want to provide some additional insight into the program construct and how the flow of the program will go.
This program will take place over an eight-week period of time with bi-weekly live calls. Module one and two content will be open before the first live mentorship call to give you a jump on the material. You will receive email notices from me too with reminders and thoughts for the week, so no worries, I will help to make sure we are all on the same page :) There is a required reflection assignment at the end of the program for Module 6 which is required to get the certificate. Please review that assignment so you are aware of what might be needed from you.
The live call takes place every TBD. Please mark you calendar.
Each week, you will be responsible for reviewing the pre-recorded video lesson and working through additional tasks such as completing assigned readings from the texts found below, completing journaling prompts and working through case studies. Not all of these will be required each week, but a combination of some.
You will also be able to submit a question or two you would like addressed during the live-mentorship calls, either related to the content and or related to something you are working through in your own program. This process works really well when the questions are submitted a couple days before the live call that way I have some time to review them as well.
The live calls are recorded and will be uploaded so that you can also come back to any sessions you are not able to make. This way, your questions can also be answered even if you are not present.
During the live calls, I ask that videos stay on as it just adds another element of community within the group. Of course if something comes up, you can switch your video off, but for the most part, let’s see each other :)
You will have access to the content for a period of time (likely until the next cohort) after the course ends so that you can come back to recordings if you would like.
Pfew, great job making it this far - now a few last points for you to reflect on before the start.
I really want to challenge you to stay curious and stay open. Delving into the world of leadership requires us to get really honest with our own belief systems, behaviors, mindset, attitude and the predominant lens through which we view the world. This can and does feel uncomfortable and challenging at times. Our growth comes from leaning into this discomfort and studying it.
I also want to challenge you to be a bit vulnerable when we discuss. I created this space so that we can share openly. It is only then that we can truly get to the root of any challenge, issue, concern, etc. I have been in this field long enough to know there are quite a few elephants in the room and how we tend to stray away from those elephants within our programs. This truly is the place to go there!
And lastly - this age old saying is very relevant. What you put in is what you get out! Boom! See you soon.
The Required Text for the Program is #1 below. #2 is recommended.
