The Applied Agility in Leadership™ program is offered in two parts, which each course spanning three months providing for immersive learning, application, and practice:
Developing a Growth Mindset™- Participants explore their orientation as a leader from an expert, achiever and catalyst perspective to improve their awareness, thinking, and behaviors.
Developing Catalyst Behaviors™- Participants explore their presence and balance their power as a leader to strengthen stakeholder relationships and improve team engagement.
Courses are starting every March and September and they run for three months each, generally March through May and September through November. Individual cohorts may extend their times based on participant needs and schedules. Participants may take a break between courses if needed for scheduling purposes. Current cohort availability will appear in the registration form and additional cohorts will be added as they become available.
Two 12-week (3-month) courses make up this program with a mid-program break between them. Each course includes weekly 90-minute peer cohort sessions, monthly 60-minute global masterclasses, three one-on-one professional coaching sessions and daily practice while remaining at work. All sessions are professionally facilitated by licensed ALJ Guides.
New cohorts start in September with options as follows:
- Wednesdays at 9:00 am EDT; 3:00 pm CEST; 6:30 pm IST with Jesse Fewell
Cohorts will begin with a kick-off for all program participants on September 4th at 10:00 to 11:00 AM. Cohorts will begin meeting the following week of September 9th during the selected time listed above and continue to meet weekly from there for 12 weeks.
Masterclasses are held from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM EDT/EST and led by our Global ALJ Guide community:
Participants kick off the program with a one-on-one coaching session with their licensed ALJ Guide, meeting their cohort of peers, exploring their immunity to change, and creating a personal leadership growth goal to take them beyond their current leadership context. They prepare for their journey ahead of more self-awareness, real-time choices, and reflections to learn and grow.
Participants explore the difference between expertise and an expert mindset, and how that shapes their impact as a leader. They discover areas that require letting go and areas requiring grabbing on in order to shape an improved leadership profile. They reflect on other experts they work with and how their mindset shapes those relationships and their results.
Participants explore the fine line between influence and manipulation as they learn the value of alignment alongside the challenge of groupthink. They learn how to broaden their gaze from the details of work toward coordinating that work and the strategy shaping the focus of that work. They navigate the stakeholder landscape of authority and politics to focus on performance and results.
Participants explore the boundaries where patience becomes stagnant, openness becomes uncertain, and empowerment becomes indecision. They learn that a true catalyst mindset is an alert and active mindset requiring courage, choice, and reflection. They begin to open their own mind to new possibilities, more diverse perspectives, and a more co-creative culture.
Participants reflect on their journey. This step is a checkpoint reflection from their initial goals to where they feel they currently are today.
Participants kick off the second course with a one-on-one coaching session with their licensed ALJ Guide, meeting their cohort of peers, and exploring their role as a leader and how a more catalyst approach might offer areas for improvement. They prepare for their journey ahead of more self-awareness, real-time choices, and reflections to learn and grow.
Participants explore their leadership power, the power through relationships, and how their power influences their presence as a leader. They learn how to situationally adjust their power balance to improve their effectiveness at work. Finally, they practice rebalancing power “in the room” for more effective teams, projects, and meetings.
Participants discover how to make every conversation and decision better through a catalyst technique called Catalyst Conversations™. They learn the triggers that invoke threats and rewards in others and how to navigate dialogue to foster alignment and improve their influence, especially when dealing with differences, conflict, and feedback.
Participants explore the focus of leadership across three key domains: the work to be done, the people doing the work, and coordinating across them. Participants learn to inventory and rebalance their focus to improve their leadership effectiveness and grow others in the organization. Finally, they apply their learning in coaching and catalyzing others to improve their own leadership focus.
Participants reflect on their journey. They develop a change story to share with their cohort, peers, and manager (when appropriate).
