The 'On Being' programs

Quite simply, everyone!

While Five Ways of Being was originally targeted towards audiences in the education field, the revisited and expanded ideas presented in this series are suitable for leaders in any field of endeavour, whether it be corporate, educational, private or government sectors: indeed, any leader who wishes to gain greater confidence and increase their personal and professional impact. 

Like many contemporary thinkers on leadership, we think there has been too much focus on the ‘doing’ of leadership, that is, the ‘work’ we have to do, and what might be called the tyranny of the urgent – rather than who we are when we are doing the work.

The programs in the 'on being' series offer an alternative way of seeing and being as leaders – one which celebrates and recognises our essential humanity while also requiring a commitment to excellence in all its forms.

Each program focuses on an aspect of leadership, or what might be called a ‘disposition’, that truly great leaders need to cultivate and embody, and that then becomes a ‘way of being’ for them. 

What do we mean by a ‘way of being’?  Well, it’s how we typically show up as a leader and what we then embody in our thoughts, behaviours, actions, non-verbals and words. 

Based on the concepts and ideas in our best-selling book, Five Ways of Being, this series revisits and revises the original five ways of being : 

• being trusting
• being brave 
• being a storyteller 
• being purposeful
• being growth-focused

This series also offers and explores other ways of being that we recognise as being essential to leaders if they are to authentically empower those they lead and enable them and their organisations to flourish. These include: 

• being present
• being interdependent
• being accountable 
• being strategic  

Each program can be taken as a stand-alone, or configured as a bundle to suit your needs. 

The programs can be delivered face-to-face or online or a mixture of both. 

Each can be delivered in varying formats and lengths, ranging from 90-minute tasters to full-day workshops/masterclasses.
