Leading in Turbulent Times

Getting past fear and worry to retake a position of power, refusing to become a psychological hostage to crisis.

Looking beyond what you see

How can we remain positive and see beyond what our eyes can see, imagine the opportunities that could appear in the future and remain open for the learnings in the current crisis?

Being a Secure Base in times of threat and uncertainty

In times of threat and uncertainty secure bases give a sense of safety and allow us to move from fear to a positive mindset. Inspired, we can focus on goals and ultimately move forward.

Managing emotions under times of threat, uncertainty and stress

During crisis grief reactions like fear, anger and sadness are common. High performing leaders manage their own emotions and those of others, react appropriately, act to overcome negativity and seek meaning and opportunity.
