The Self Leadership Initiative predominantly works with teams in organisations such as charities, corporates and universities, however, you as an individual may still need pointing in the right direction for becoming a self leader outside of the support of such an organisation.
You are here because you want to work on yourself using the tools you already have available (because, sometimes, just reading up isn’t enough), interact with others on this path and get the chance to practice new skills. Well done you!
Below are the latest events that The Self Leadership Initiative will be hosting, which are open to all individuals to attend. If you wish to make a private booking for your team please do be in touch.
This 8 week group coaching programme equips you with a toolbox of wellbeing skills to live your best life. Each 90 minute session gives you a practical experience of essential positive psychology topics:
The next programme starts in June. See more details and book your place here.
INCREASING YOUR PERSONAL CONTROL, 16th DECEMBER, 10-11amChange the way you think to find your power.
In those moments where things feel on top of you, part of the stress may come from feeling out of control. The good news is that a large part of personal control comes from your perspective.
The language you use has a massive impact on whether you feel that you have the power to change things around you or whether you feel helpless. Learning to change your perspective is the key to taking charge of your life. This workshop will help you to explore your current levels of control and how to shift your thinking.
MANAGING YOUR TIME, 9th DECEMBER, 10-11.30amPrioritise your day to get the important stuff done.
Do you ever feel like your to-do list is running away with you and the important stuff slips off the end of the list? Then you may need some help setting your priorities and cutting away the distractions.
Not all goals are created equal! Learning to make time for what matters is the key to effective time management. This workshop will help you to dig into your to do list and effectively prioritise the things that will make the biggest difference to your life – along with some tools and tips for cutting down on the time wasting activities.
SETTING GOALS & INTENTIONS, 25th NOVEMBER, 10-11.30amAchieve more in life with the right kinds of goals.
Have you got a rolling to do list that never seems complete? Finding some of your goals uninspiring? There’s a real psychology to setting goals that matter and get you motivated.
Setting the right kinds of goals and intentions is the first step towards actually getting motivated to carry them out. This workshop will introduce you to some simple but effective tools for making your goals well rounded and meaningful.
TOOLS FOR RESILIENCE, 17th NOVEMBER, 7.00-8.30pmResilience is the ability to recover from setbacks and persist in the face of challenges. So what are the skills of resilient people?
Being able to cope with challenges takes a great deal of self care and understanding. This workshop will help you to understand some of the psychological factors at play when you are going through stress, challenge and new experiences so that you are able to be more mindful moving forwards.
IDENTITY AND LIFE BALANCE, 11th NOVEMBER, 9.30-10.30amIdentify what matters in your life.
Do you ever feel like you are ‘spinning plates’ and that you may have lost yourself? Chances are that your time is out of balance and a little focus will make the world of difference.
Balancing the different demands of life can be difficult when so many external forces demand your attention. This workshop will give you the space to explore the aspects of your life that most bring you meaning, and the different ways you balance your human needs. This can then be used to identify gaps and plan changes in your priorities for a happier and more fulfilled life.
GRATITUDE FOR WELLBEING, 28th OCTOBER, 10-11amThe science of living a happier life.
What’s the secret to a happier and more fulfilled you? It might just be gratitude!
Positive Psychologists have proven that practicing daily gratitude is a great way to raise your wellbeing, resilience and reduce the impact of stress and negative events. This workshop will help you to get started in your own gratitude practice and try out some of the most effective gratitude tools.
COMMUNICATING WITH LESS CONFLICT, 14th OCTOBER, 10am-12pmUsing Non Violent Communication to collaborate through challenges.
When tensions are high and people have conflicting views or needs, the key to collaborating is careful communication.
This workshop will help you recognise the underlying emotions and unmet needs that are escalating a conflict – allowing you to diffiuse the situation with non-judgement and objectivity. We will use a model of Non Violent Communication (NVC) to practice moving from conflict to a workable solution for all parties.
UNDERSTANDING CONFLICT, 23rd SEPTEMBER, 10-11.30amEver said to yourself ‘they push my buttons’ or ‘they made me angry’? What is it that pulls us into conflict and how can we better avoid it?
Each of us has a set of values and patterns that we live by which are often unnoticed. When these are challenged or disrespected that is when we are most likely to find a conflict escalating. By becoming aware of what our needs and value systems are we are more able to navigate challenges calmly.
UNDERSTANDING SELF MOTIVATION, 9th SEPTEMBER, 10-11amHave you ever found yourself struggling to get going? Can’t find the words to get your team up and running? There may be a reason why…
The way we speak to ourselves has a massive impact on how we feel and engage with tasks. This workshop will introduce you to some basic Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) to help you understand your motivational style and how your self talk patterns are affecting your progress on goals.
