The Syllabus
You’ll be spending six weeks with Team I.G. and an intimate cohort of like-minded leaders as we cover the following core areas. In addition to the below, there will be a weekly (1hr) Action Learning Set where you’ll get support to navigate a professional / organisational challenge, and a private Leadership Lab online group for peer support, connections and community.
-
Week 1: Defining Your Why
We’ll host a Lab Launch, articulate our goals for the programme and explore our personal theories of change for our careers.
-
Week 2: Operations Leadership
We’ll dive into the practical stuff - financial literacy, strategic thinking and decision-making. This is open to all levels of understanding and experience (we promise it won’t be too basic or too inaccessible).
-
Week 3: People Leadership
We’ll dive into line management, influencing in all directions, navigating hard conversations and Dreaded Drama Triangles (hint: they’re everywhere).
-
Week 4: Self Leadership
We’ll explore strengths-based leadership, models to articulate your Zone of Genius, time management & efficiency, and wellbeing & burnout.
-
Week 5: Personal Branding
Yep, you read that correctly. Like it or not, personal branding is part of leadership, so we’re here to help you create a LinkedIn profile, headshot and pitch that is a match to your highest self (and doesn’t make you cringe).
-
Week 6: Bringing It Together
In our final session together, we’ll take stock of everything we’ve learned, share our progress towards our personal and organisational goals, and (re)introduce ourselves as the new leaders we’ve become.
