In the process of practicing courageous conversations in the role play, leaders were able to truly understand their intention versus their impact.

The term psychological safety was coined by Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson. She defines it as “a shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking. Establishing a climate of psychological safety allows space for people to speak up and share their ideas.”

The500 is a 9-month, cross-sector, socially-focused leadership development program that builds the leadership capability of senior business leaders while making a positive impact on society.  

Virtual reality leadership training is an immersive experience and in the case of multi-player VR training, leaders are immersed in a virtual world where they are expected to collaborate and successfully complete a series of tasks. An effective VR experience lasts 5 to 15 minutes and enables facilitators to test and observe a range of soft skills, including empathy, communication, collaboration, innovation, continuous improvement, agility, and much more.

Make sure your team knows they can count on you as their leader, to provide a level of safety and security to achieve great things. My one piece of advice for up-and-coming leaders is – always be yourself, you are your greatest asset – be confident in your own abilities, the rest will follow.

In this new, virtual world, an internal audit team needs to understand how to influence stakeholders, build strong and open internal cultures, and present clear and sufficient oversight over the risk agenda.

The holy grail of customer loyalty has vexed many an organization for many a year.  Knowing that keeping loyal customers costs the business less than it does to replace them with new customers can focus leadership energy.  Yet many spend too much time spent chasing the concept of satisfaction without actually thinking of customer experience.  In fact, a whole industry has sprung up around customer loyalty – what is it? what drives it? how can we achieve it? and how can we measure it? 

Our goal is to create for leaders the chance to reconnect with the concept of play, fall out of their own thinking, take risks, experiment, and with a soft place to land – learn fast. These play areas or playgrounds are created to be a safe place but they do include the concept of stretch + rest = growth.

What sets good leaders apart from great leaders isn’t rhetoric, but rather engagement. Engagement means genuinely listening, asking powerful questions to truly understand, working with the other individual, and having a powerful and meaningful conversation. This is a two-way process: it serves to enhance and not block; to grow and not limit; and finally to collaborate rather than just instruct. And it is tough to do.

Join us as we bring together a panel of Leadership Experts, including Author and Keynote Speaker Liane Davey, discussing the biggest challenges leaders will face in 2022.  This year has felt like being on a crazy train of change, will it be an even crazier train in 2022?

In this podcast episode, Colin and Aviv engage in a rich discussion of finding your purpose, stretching for growth, and having fun along the way.

Just when you thought you were getting the hang of leading in the virtual world, now organizations are asking you to lead in a hybrid world.

How the hell are we supposed to find the right way forward?
