Visionary Leadership: Resiliency in Uncertain Times

Overview

This is a highly participatory course for organizational leaders, process leaders and facilitators who want to connect with their own leadership vision and deeply rethink what it means to be a leader during times of ambiguity and volatile change. 

Grove Founder, David Sibbet and Gisela Wendling, Ph.D, introduce an archetypal change model and explore how opening to uncertainty and cultivating empathy for yourself and the people you serve can transform your responses to change. The laboratory environment also provides opportunities for you to learn how to creatively frame the change challenges you face, pivot to being a learning leader and hold a visionary direction while being open to co-creation and emergent solutions.
