Where did you learn to behave like that?

Often we don’t think about the impact that formative experiences from childhood and adolescence have on both ourselves and other people, however dysfunctional involuntary behaviour can emerge from these past experiences, without warning and at the most inappropriate of times.

In our session, I will invite you to look behind the behaviour you display as a leader when you are under pressure in order for you to develop your awareness, understanding, and control of your less helpful behavioural tendencies. Reflection of this kind is essential for all leaders, especially when the stakes are high.

Our session will help you to:

• Recognise what’s happening behaviourally, in particular as relates to your reactions and the potential dysfunctional impact these behaviours can have
• identify how your own behaviour links to childhood story
• Identify some steps you can take to work effectively with a childhood story to have the highest level of self control, even under pressure.
• Recognise how old internal narratives develop out of the childhood story and cause harm to yourself and others if you don’t do the necessary work to change them.
• Be able to write new internal narratives to benefit both yourself and your team.
