The world often falls short of how we’d like it to be, and our ability to make even just a little difference can seem limited. Sometimes it feels like you need to be a super-hero to achieve anything meaningful. But what if by re-conceiving what you do and how you do it, you could change the world for the better without changing organizations? What if you could have a lot more influence and impact in your current job?
Drawing upon decades of experience working alongside executives, leaders, educators, students, and parents, and her own learning journey, Carol Sanford aims to help individuals realize their inherent capabilities to foster significant and meaningful change. Further detailed in her recent book, The Regenerative Life, Carol will highlight a one year action research and learning project involving 112 leaders and individual contributors. This research discovered, tested, and taught nine Meta-Roles that take place in all work and life settings and can change how relevant, effective, and meaningful you can be, no matter your rank or position. Brief exercises will re-enforce the concepts and provide opportunities to taste what the study participants achieved.
Although this thinking has systemic social implications, it is addressed to individuals seeking to create a better world through day-to-day engagement in their lives and work. Learning how to access these Meta-Roles is like having a powerful person — maybe a beloved grandparent, a spiritual teacher, or a mentor — advising us on what to change, offering wisdom, and supporting our journey of self-discovery. Through a Socratic and contrarian approach, backed by research and extensive case stories and testimonials, this webinar just might provide the inspiration you need to discover a new path forward.
Who would benefit from attending:
- Leaders of functional groups, organizations, or businesses who have development and leadership responsibility for professionals.
- Career planners, HR professionals, and those who help people focus on career development.
- Anyone who is rethinking their life path and wants to have more impact.
