We all get triggered, but our triggers can cause us to react in ways we’re not so proud of (not to mention, in ways that are counter-productive to goals beyond ourselves) – you might lose your temper, when it would be more productive if you asked a question; you might withdraw from a heated discussion, when it would inspire greater progress for you to engage; you might misinterpret a colleague as untrustworthy, when they could be a vital partner.
But though triggers are perfectly human, they can also be an obstacle in our practice of leadership if you don’t know how to ‘read’ them and channel them. They can restrict curiosity, creativity, and partnership. This workshop is about building more freedom and optionality, so that we are more effective when we notice we’re getting triggered. The goal is not to “rid” ourselves of triggers, but to build the capacity to decipher them – learning how to read the valuable data our triggered responses carry and be in dialogue with them. As a result, we can act with more intentionality, strategy, and discernment for what a specific context calls for.
You will come away with:
A framework for understanding your triggers and the underlying assumptions behind them
A better understanding of the valuable data your triggers contain
More self-awareness of how your triggers might be counter-productive to your leadership efforts and how they can become assets
An expanded universe between trigger and response
Alternative action-options beyond your common triggered reactions
More optionality for how to respond to others when they are triggered by you
This session will be facilitated by trauma-informed specialists and is suitable for:
Executives, team leads, people & learning professionals, and change agents who wish to break out of old habits, overcome internal obstacles, and wish to develop themselves and others more effectively.
This is a workshop for those curious to do internal work, open to questioning preconceived mindsets and beliefs, and committed to taking their leadership practice to the next level.
This workshop takes place on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, 10.00-11.30 am ET / 16.00-17.30 CET.
