Crisis Leadership - Winston Churchill

Ready to become a more effective leader, especially when facing crisis situations? This course is designed for individuals serious about honing their leadership skills and mastering crisis leadership. You understand the personal impact of a crisis and where you need to grow – and this course provides the tools to do just that.

We utilize Symbolic Modelling, a powerful technique developed by James Lawley and Penny Tompkins, to help you internalize the mindset of one of history's greatest crisis leaders: Sir Winston Churchill. Through compelling public domain footage from Churchill's era, his powerful speeches, and insightful quotes from his writings, we explore specific scenarios.

The course encourages you to examine your emotional responses to these events, prompting reflection at a symbolic and metaphorical level. A core question guiding this process is: "And all that's like what?"

A fundamental principle of Symbolic Modelling is that you already possess the inner resources for self-correction. The key is to become aware of your thought patterns and thoughtfully consider the dynamics of your mind.

Once you develop a symbolic understanding of crisis leadership, we guide you to identify recurring patterns and envision improved outcomes. We'll ask: "What would you like to have happen?"

This course requires deep contemplation. Be prepared for subtle, and sometimes unpredictable, shifts in perspective. It's crucial to capture any emerging changes. We offer ongoing support throughout your journey.

The course content itself is over an hour, but the impact and our support extend far beyond that. Expect to experience lasting change as you move towards recognizable improvement and potential transformation in your leadership style and ability to navigate crisis management.
