Discovering You - Online Workshops
We have secured two online series to bring to you, innovative online Professional Learning that will take you on a journey as you navigate the path to your best self. The first is designed to inspire your personal growth with an authentic understanding of you.
Developing Self - An Authentic Understanding
Facilitated by: Aasha Murthy - Being Leaders Academy
Program Overview
We are, each one of us, the "sole weapon of mass construction", that we can truly rely on and deploy, in our personal and professional lives. This series offers the following three modules for people who are keen to use the leadership practice of "Developing Self" to arrive at an authentic understanding of themselves. It will be interactive and personalised to help you explore yourself, your strengths and your brand.
There are three webinars designed to bring a small group together each time to explore each module:
- With a maximum of 8 places.
- They are designed to be stand alone or can be completed in a series.
Program Includes:
Extended Personality - The "and, both, and more" Perspective
This module weaves nature, nurture and the "conscious scribe" in an energising narrative. Your personality is the drawing-together of these three diverse, but related strands at three different levels of functioning. Together, they represent three echelons of sophistication in your understanding of, reaction to, and meaning-taking from your lived-experiences. They constitute your extended personality.
Signature Strengths - Attending to the Positive for a World of Possibility
This module harks back to Nichomachean ethics. The Aristotelian view of Eudaimonia or the engaged life is also the foundation of positive psychology. It argues that wellbeing anchored in authenticity requires that you identify, revel in, celebrate and frequently use your signature strengths in the willful choice and pursuit of morally praiseworthy activities. The big, little question is, "what are your signature strengths?"
Personal Branding - The brand called "You"
This module catalyses your conscious and strategic efforts at self-reflection. It helps you define your "unique value proposition" for your target audience, and the "brand persona" you wish to create for them. Once you have completed these tasks, sculpting your "personal brand statement" will not be as daunting as it sounds.
