When a Premier League footballer steps up to the ball 27 seconds before the whistle, her ‘state’ will make all the difference. Leadership is no different.
Leaders used to have a playbook – in this situation, do X; in that situation, do Y. This is no longer the case. The rate of change, commercial, economic, technological, and societal – means today’s leaders need to be ready for anything – change-ready, resilient, adaptable, curious, calm and wise.
For most, this means operating from a higher state than before. It means accessing our intellect and our wisdom. It means knowing that our ‘state’ is within our control and not determined by the situation or people around us. This is ownership on a new level – it means understanding how we operate at peak state and knowing how to make that an everyday thing.
In this in this interactive session, Elke Edwards, founder of Ivy House, will cover:
- The two types of intelligence leaders have available to them and how to access both
- The game-changing skill of a quiet mind – enabling you to access higher-level thinking on a daily basis
- How to get from where you are now, to where you want to be
Having worked with senior leaders and entrepreneurs for 25 years, Elke believes it is this skill – the skill of accessing higher-level thinking that has the most significant impact on leaders, their organisations, and their lives. It’s a talk for leaders committed to operating from peak state.
It is session 3 in The Leader Series. You can watch ‘The Courage to Get Better’ here. ‘What makes you worth following?’ here
