We sincerely invite you to join the program “Leadership Experience Group: Reflections on Leadership. Development and Support of Leaders in Conditions of Uncertainty and Rapid Change.”
Are you a leader of an organization, community, business, department, your group, or your own project? Are you the person who organizes processes, manages people, is creative and hardworking? Then you definitely have experience of both successes and difficult times. But in the face of modern challenges, you are at the top of the pyramid of your organization or process, where your team relies on you, and it’s not always easy for you to get support because «you’re already so strong...»
In a group of other leaders and experienced trainers, we will strengthen our ability to overcome obstacles together.
You will learn and practice:
— How to endure and overcome high workloads, often overload, in conditions of uncertainty and prolonged stress while remaining effective.
— What is interaction diagnosis: recurring patterns, conflicts of interest, conscious and unconscious contracts.
— How to enhance emotional and other types of intelligence. Dialogue and group work. How to extrapolate experience into the work of a team.
— Rules for creating a safe space in a team: exploring roles, boundaries, attitudes toward authority and tasks.
— Post-traumatic growth even during traumatic and/or difficult conditions, without waiting for «better times.»
— Understanding and practical effectiveness of intercultural interaction, diversity, and authenticity, their significance in the modern world. The impact of family models on professional interactions.
— And much more that is essential in our work and lives in these challenging times.

How Will We Work Together?
The influence of participants on each other, exchange of experiences, and mutual learning within a community of managers and leaders is a key element of the group's work.
We will interact as a community of manager-researchers in a process of joint exploration. Cooperative inquiry is a method developed by John Heron, which involves two or more people exploring a topic through their own experience, using a series of cycles where they move between experience and collective reflection on it.
In addition to creating reflective narratives about our experiences and sharing them, we will together create what will help us express something from our experience, such as objects, collages, art, photography, sculpture, poetry, film, and music.
The experience gained from the current events will be used to develop future educational and support programs.

Events will take place on the following dates: October 12, 2024; November 2, 2024; December 7, 2024; January 4, 2025; December 1, 2025; March 3, 2025. The dates are confirmed, but may change depending on current conditions.
Event Topics:
— Supporting assistants, leaders, and managers – developing and maintaining the ability to work with complexity and uncertainty.
— Caring for leaders – promoting and supporting the development of more democratic and inclusive ways of working and living together.
— Creative work with differences.
— Co-creating and supporting spaces where creativity, innovation, and collaboration can thrive.
— And other topics essential for our work and life in these challenging times.
