Leading Self with Courage - Dina Pozzo
Workshop
Date: Monday, 15 July 2019
Time: 9.30am - 4.30pm
Venue: Victorian Innovation Hub
710 Collins Street, Goods Shed North
Docklands VIC 3008
All competatively selected participants will join Dina Pozzo for a full day workshop on Leading Self with Courage. This session was produly supported by venue partner LaunchVic.
The demonstration of courage provides a number of individual and workplace benefits. These benefits include the creation of positive energy and improved motivation; increased accountability, conscientiousness and empathy; increased resourcefulness and goal attainment; increased self-confidence; increased willingness to learn from mistakes; increased healthy relationships and inclusiveness; and increased inspiration to act courageously after witnessing acts of courage by others.
As described by Robert Biswas-Diener, courage enables individuals to live a full life, and hence is a key contributor to wellbeing. The key aims of this highly practical workshop are to heighten self-awareness of own courage and to develop a plan to access this knowledge in future when needed. Participants will be invited to join in an appreciative discussion designed to build meta-knowledge of own past courageous acts, and to share a workplace situation that requires courage. Additionally, through sharing stories, participants will broaden their own perspectives on courage.
Workshop content includes:
- - Why Courage?
- - What is Courage?
- - My Courageous Self – An Appreciative Discussion
- - Being Courageous in My Workplace
