The Mighty Heart Course
We live in complex and challenging times. Innovation and teamwork are too often held back by an inability to constructively manage disagreement.
The Mighty Heart invites you and your teams to transform these frustrations into effective communication and collaborative actions, contributing to purpose-driven leadership.
By learning from inspirational leaders with experience of the most challenging conflicts around the world, the course for organisations will show you how to use conflict and crises successfully as a source for transformation.
We listen to your challenges and bring forward the components of the course that will help you the most; whether that be decision-making, communication, well-being, values or purpose. We work with small leadership teams to groups of more than 150 people.
You and your team will learn how to shift energy; from anger and anxiety to action; from fatigue to service, developing an overall safer and thriving atmosphere at work.
You’ll learn how by listening deeply to someone who is angry or aggressive, you can completely transform the interaction. It helps you build a presence that solves problems, for example when you take a stand on an issue you care about.

“The Mighty Heart Course reveals emotions that might have otherwise been covered up. It is a powerful new way to connect with colleagues as we encounter each other as humans, not only colleagues. The trust within the course allows for an open heart, vulnerable but irresistibly genuine. Thank you!”
