Building on the foundations of Neuro-queered, decolonial, and (co-)creative leadership (Taster 1) and Embodied Leadership (Taster 2), this final session shifts the focus from self-leadership to systems leadership. We will explore how to strategically lead change, even in resistant and complex cultures, and move beyond reactionary leadership to proactive, creative transformation.
What We’ll Cover:
● Strategic thinking & planning amid uncertainty – moving beyond reactionary decision-making to proactive, creative leadership.
● Managing change in resistant cultures – addressing fear, precarity, and the emotional labour of leadership.
● Leading with clarity & confidence – communicating difficult decisions (budgets, restructuring, shifting priorities) whilst maintaining trust.
● Decision-making & problem-solving through a creative lens – breaking free from rigid structures to cultivate innovation.
● Sustaining teams through change – fostering adaptability, resilience, and a shared sense of purpose.
Key Takeaways:
● Build confidence in leading strategic change—even in uncertain or resistant environments.
● Learn how to manage communication around restructuring, budget constraints, and shifting landscapes.
● Cultivate a sustainable, resilient team that embraces change rather than fearing it.
● Shift from reactionary leadership to proactive, creative strategy—transforming obstacles into opportunities.
This session is about leading strategically and creatively—not just managing change but reframing it as an opportunity for transformation.
Join us as we conclude this leadership taster series by stepping into the future of leadership: adaptive, creative, and bold.
