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.
Your journey
Over the course of ten weekly modules, our experts show how tension can be used 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 decision-making, communication, well-being, values or purpose.
This course offers you the skills of conflict transformation to develop your inner power and awareness, creating a shift to an open, collaborative atmosphere at work:
- Deep listening and compassionate communication
- A way to change your inner critic into a wise guide
- The ability to use anger as a fuel for positive transformation
- The sense of your own strong presence and intuition to improve decision-making in a crisis
- Developing your capacity to speak truth to power
- The skill to take a stand on an issue you care about and be in service to the world
Each module is backed by exercises and small group discussions, and participants are provided with a workbook that illustrates the material with stories and space for personal reflection.
