WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

What Makes The Leadership

Dojo Unique?

It’s having true behavioral flexibility when you're working with a group. You can flow and lead according to their needs rather than forcing them to play by your rules.

 

Great facilitation frees a group to think, feel, and act as a dynamic whole. It invites healthy conflict and genuine commitment.

It's more a set of ideas and principles working together, rather than a rigid plan.

 

This kind of leader is a master context creator and can display true flexibility stemming from experience and training— the kind of training you’ll receive in the leadership dojo.

Existing experience of coaching or some form of one-on-one change modality is useful, however not essential.

 

  • Develop a personalized framework for facilitation that enables you to elegantly structure a facilitation session.
     

  • Structure frames to help steer a group towards positive change or learning and avoid potential pitfalls that could have derailed your facilitation.
     

  • Emotionally intelligent leadership-Differentiate between surface and deep structure language and recognize when and how to challenge the words used by group members to unlock learning.
     

  • Build and cleanly set up group exercises so they run cleanly and maximize their impact.
     

  • Set clear learning or change objectives that help you align the needs of sponsors with those of individuals within a group.

Coaching with David has allowed me to think about my business, my teams, and my conscious leadership in all new ways. 
He possesses the qualities of a sherpa who's helping you to climb what seems like Mt. Everest on a daily and weekly basis.  I recommend any leader of any organization or household, whether you are a manager or an executive or a teacher or public official who is interested and committed to doing things in a whole and better way. If you are really thinking infinitely and expansively at real true human potential than I would recommend you get coaching with David Young.

You won't regret it.
