In this session the basics of Primal Leadership and how emotions drive people, and people drive performance, will be explored
The session will explore the, often misunderstood, primal function of leadership being emotional. True leadership should serve as a reservoir of positivity that unlocks the best in individuals.
Your potential is influenced by various factors, such as cognitive ability, emotional intelligence (EQ), skills, knowledge, experience, and social network. However, it is your Positive Intelligence (PQ) that ultimately determines the percentage of your vast potential realised.
At the end of this practical and interactive session you will have engaged with the five superpowers of your Primal Leadership. This will unlock a powerful tool at your disposal to identify your internal voices (saboteurs) that undermine optimal leadership.
This Superpower activates and unlocks personal potential and the performance of your team and firm in areas of effectiveness, relationships, quality of life and wellbeing.
