Understanding Yourself as a Leader Training – 2 Days
This dynamic two-day programme has been especially designed for experienced leaders and those new to leading teams. Understanding what motivates individuals to lead and our own styles of leadership is a critical step in getting clarity on our vision on the impact we want to have as leaders.
This module takes leaders through a process of identifying their personal drivers, their motivation, and their vision. Participants will consider how their leadership approach influences the organisational climate and defines the impact that they want to have.
Course Content
My why – understanding my leadership drivers, my motivation, and why I’m here
The purpose of this course is to give leaders a deep sense of what motivates them to lead. By understanding our own drivers, we become empowered to define our vision and impact, we can find a clear sense of purpose and direction, and we can inspire the people around us to come on that journey too.
Introduction to models of leadership
Understanding models of leadership is important for anyone who wants to be a successful leader of people. This is increasingly important as our teams and organisations become increasingly geographically dispersed, working in virtual, remote, and hybrid environments.
As a group we reflect on the models that best support the organisation’s goals.
My style – overview of leadership styles, and identifying my own style
Recognising that it’s important to identify the leadership style that best fits you and the goals that you’re trying to achieve, and through a series of activities, we consider our personal values, our motivators, our detractors, and our personality traits to help understand what kind of leader we are.
The effect of leadership style on organisational climate
We consider how culture, environment, and organisational climate are linked to performance outcomes and identify the cultural and environmental characteristics that would support success across tangible KPIs.
My vision – identifying what impact I want to have
As we approach the end of this session, we take a forward-looking view: what difference do we want to make and when do we want to make it? This is about recognising that we are in control of the impact we have, and it’s up to us to take the lead, to inspire our people, and to set the narrative we want to be known for.

Use Actors in Your Training
Through clever script writing, goose-bump inducing delivery and professional facilitation we can bring so much to life. We stimulate emotion, penetrate the long-term memory and create lasting change.
When we use live drama, we are able to have the actors play out the scenario and then be hot seated for the audience to ask them questions whilst they remain in character. Hot seating works so well because actors work with a pre-rehearsed backstory, so they are able to respond in character. They progressively reveal unexpected elements of their story that will not have previously been told. It can bust assumptions that the audience might have made based on the scenario (situation) but not fully understanding the impact at first sight.
Using actors in this programme enables us to bring to:
- See a typical situation from a different perspective
- Give attendees a chance to challenge the actors whilst they are still in character
- Demonstrate that things aren’t always what they seem at first glance
- Provide delegates with an opportunity to test out alternative ways of approaching different situations
- Create an experience which stays in the long-term memory
