Leadership Workshops

Self of Leader Workshop

Example Outline

Module 1: Mapping Your Leadership Journey

Explore the narratives and assumptions that shape how you lead.

  • Reflect on early models of leaders: who inspired you and why

  • Identify “leadership flags”: Theory X vs. Theory Y, binaries of good/bad

  • Examine cultural and personal beliefs that limit experimentation

  • Discuss trauma-informed leadership: fight/flight/freeze/fawn responses

Module 2: Clarifying Your Leadership Values

Uncover the ideals driving your behaviors and set boundaries that honor your whole self.

  • Trace the origins of key values (family, culture, performance norms)

  • Sort values that serve vs. values that deplete you

  • Question overcommitment: why give 150 % when 100 % suffices?

  • Practice boundary-setting: responding to pushback with empathy and clarity

Module 3: Self-Assessment & Recalibration

Pinpoint when you go off-course and reset with evidence-based tools.

  • Inventory alignment gaps: stressors that trigger fear, resentment, defensiveness

  • Recalibration exercises: threat vs. reality scans; scarcity vs. growth mindsets

  • Somatic reset: body scans, safe-place visualizations, positive sentiment freeze-frames

  • Identify when you “act frightened” vs. “act frightening”

Module 4: Navigating Imposter Feelings & Triggers

Demystify self-doubt and learn to lead from a place of non-anxious presence.

  • Case studies: types of imposter syndrome and their emotional roots

  • Connection circles to foster psychological safety and co-regulation

  • Role-play team facilitation, feedback, and problem-solving scenarios

  • Drama-triangle awareness: victim, persecutor, rescuer dynamics

Module 6: Action Planning & Next Steps

Commit to ongoing self-reflection and community support.

  • Define three concrete behavioral shifts you’ll implement

  • Establish accountability partnerships for regular check-ins

  • Schedule monthly self-audits using recalibration and somatic tools

  • Join a leadership circle for peer learning and resilience building

Module 5: Embodying the Leader Within

Build a personalized somatic and strategic plan for sustained growth.

  • Body-centered intelligence: mapping workplace “ouchies” and reaction patterns

  • Leadership development plan: integrating lived experience as a source of strength

  • Non-anxious presence practice: mountain meditation and equanimity rituals

  • Common factors of high-trust cultures: clarity, voice & choice, continuous growth
