Overview of session  

Being a leader when the world is in ‘lockdown’ brings many extraordinary personal challenges.  In order to thrive, and to help maintain the spirit and motivation of your team, the first priority must be to discover and maintain the inspiration you need first – for yourself.

 Sharing research into the real-life experiences of leaders from many different walks of life, this webinar will help you explore three ways in which you can find your own sources of inspiration, both as a leader and in your life more generally:

 -        Identify the triggers in the outside world that help lift your spirits

-        Choose the mindsets you can bring to make the most of your experiences

-        Understand the psychological sources of your intrinsic motivation
