• Assumed Constraints - learn to recognise those perceived barriers we can have and how to make them into positive commitments;
• Points of Power - learn the five sources of power at work you have and how each can be activated to help achieve your goals and experience greater autonomy and competence;
• Proactive Conversations - learn how to seek the direction and support you need; learn how to proactively ask your manager for the leadership style you need to succeed.

By attending this program, you will have access to:

• The SLII® App  - a smartphone app that helps learners diagnose their development level for a goal/task and understand how to ask for the leadership style that you need to succeed;
