Reveal Your Leadership Game
Transform your impact without changing your title
Have you ever noticed that some of the things you do rally your team… while others fall flat, and you're not quite sure why? Do you sometimes wonder whether your people are truly on board, or just going along?
In this workshop, Steffan helps you decode your leadership game… the operating system we all have. It runs in the background and decides how you act and react, in good times and bad, without you even noticing.
You'll leave with:
- A clear read of your leadership reflexes and what triggers them
- A better understanding of how your words and actions create engagement… or mere compliance
- Two or three specific moments in your day where you can choose to act differently, starting Monday morning
Typical feedback is that a few weeks after this workshop, many participants catch themselves noticing behaviours they couldn't see before, and have a "eureka!" moment that helps them change their habits.
Imagine the impact of your leadership if you could interrupt your leadership game and choose your behaviours instead of constantly reacting to what's happening around you.
Dancing with the System
How to unlock change without pushing harder
Do you feel like your organization is going in circles… that the same problems keep coming back, no matter what you try? What if you were mostly tackling symptoms, while the real issues stay hidden below the surface?
In this workshop, Steffan helps you see your organization as a living system. A system with its own habits, loops and resistance. Instead of pushing harder, you'll learn to read what the system is telling you and inject the right moves at the right time to help it move in the direction you want.
You'll leave with:
- A simple way to map the dynamics that keep bringing your recurring problems back
- Two or three leverage points in your own context, where a small nudge can create a ripple effect
- Ways to influence these dynamics, even when you don't have formal authority
One of Steffan's clients turned a conflictual relationship with another department into real collaboration simply by applying the principles from this workshop.
Imagine what would become possible if you stopped pushing against your organization and started dancing with it.
The Five Tribal Stages
Decode the five different stages of the culture of teams
Have you noticed that some teams in your organization seem to live on different planets? That some groups move forward together naturally, while others spend their time undermining each other and getting bogged down in endless conflict?
In this workshop, Steffan introduces you to the five stages of tribal culture, a model from the book Tribal Leadership. And the good news is that to know where a group stands, you often just need to listen more closely to the language people use every day.
You'll leave with:
- A way to recognize a group's stage through its language
- An understanding of why you can only move a group forward one stage at a time
- Concrete levers to help your teams move to the next stage
The typical reaction from participants is immediate recognition of the different stages present at the same time in their teams. The real question, though, is: what do others hear in the way they communicate?
Imagine building a team where people speak in terms of "we" rather than "I" and move forward together toward a shared goal. This workshop is your starting line.
