Your learning journey: community engagement with impact

Day 1: Leadership Monash Program

Facilitated by Professor Richard Hall and Aviva Berzon

Morning session: Mindsets & Tools for Self-Leadership – Leading for Impact

We’ll look at key ideas and models which will give you new ways to think about yourself and your leadership impact. This session will build your self-insight and give you tools to slow things down, become more conscious of how you’re operating, and learn how to choose a response that gets you closer to your desired outcomes. Not only will this make your role as a leader more fulfilling and meaningful, but you’ll be better equipped to empower those around you and learn how to together build energised teams that can align around and move towards a common vision.

Day 2: Innovation Monash Program, Facilitated by Marque Kabbaz

On day 2, we’ll go beyond the buzzword to understand what innovation can look like right across your business, as well as the cultural shifts needed to get there. We’ll explore:

• Defining innovation

• What is a culture of innovation?

• Why is it so hard to achieve in large organisations?

• Frameworks for innovation

• How do we overcome the hurdles? (the three models of innovation)

• What mindsets and organisational models do we need to lead an innovative organisation?

• Remembering the human in the digital ecosystem.

Day 5: Thriving Minds

Monash half-day Program

Facilitated by Associate Professor Carly Moulang

Thrive Global’s Thriving Mind program features groundbreaking research from Stanford Medicine that shows the eight ways our brains respond to stress, known as ‘biotypes’. In this half-day module you’ll learn strategies for action by looking at proven techniques to interrupt these stress responses, enabling you to proceed with greater focus, clarity and resilience. Participating in this session will allow you to:

• understand the latest neuroscience behind mental well-being and identify biotypes and their associated thought patterns and emotions

• develop the ability to recognise these biotypes in your own thought patterns and emotions

Afternoon

session: Skills for Clear Leadership – Working with Others to Drive Outstanding Results
