Thrive in Chaos
Level: Intermediate – Master
Target audience: Evolve Potential (E1), Enhance Performance (E2), Excel Competencies (E3), Empower Vision (E4) and Elevate Legacy (E5)
​
Chaos and uncertainty are integral parts of our daily lives, regardless of whether it’s at our personal, organisational or societal involvement. This is clearly visible by the structural and emotional fragility of the contemporary world as depicted by the BANI framework and the instability of the changing external, macro environment which is illustrated by the VUCA framework.
Navigating this uncertainty is a common challenge across industries, organisations, geographies and professions. Many leaders, teams and professionals focus on either survival or being resilient in chaotic environments and experiences; survival is about minimising loses and coming out with the least impact, and resilience is bouncing back to where you were.
This training doesn’t stop at being resilient or surviving, it focuses on something more powerful – to thrive in chaos! How do organisations, systems and people evolve, flourish and become stronger when tested, stressed and pushed beyond comfort limits?
We’ll explore strategies and practical methods to convert chaos into growth fuel. This transformation begins with a fundamental mindset shift of reframing chaos as a catalyst for continuous improvement and growth, and not a threat. At it’s core, the growth mindset focuses not on merely existing and eventually perishing in chaos, but on expanding, innovating and thriving in chaos!
The objective of this training is to create a positive and renewed mindset, a toolkit of strategies and practices, and to instil the confidence to embrace and thrive in chaos.
Simplicity in Complexity
Level: Intermediate – Master
Target audience: Evolve Potential (E1), Enhance Performance (E2), Excel Competencies (E3), Empower Vision (E4) and Elevate Legacy (E5)
​Complexity is everywhere, and we are pressured into accepting it, but clarity and simplicity is a choice - we consume endless amounts of information, often over worked, managing multiple projects, juggling competing priorities and pressured to complete everything with grace and to perfection. Overtime these complex and corrosive practices will result in stress, decision fatigue, low quality output, paralysis in the face of challenges, job dissatisfaction and more alarmingly will directly impact our health and wellbeing.
​
Thriving and being productive doesn’t mean doing everything, it actually boils down to doing less. The emphasis been on what you do and not on how much you do. The key to creating effective simplicity is to prioritise and focus your energy on transformational value creation tasks, and then eliminating everything else. This higher level of clarity assists you to adopt a solution focused mindset and shift from problem fixation to solution generation.
​
This training will enable you to embed sustainable, effective practices and build discipline to prioritise tasks, eliminate noise, streamline decision making and approach situations with clarity and a solution mindset. Thus, transforming complexity into opportunity; ultimately creating transformational value and effective simplicity.
