Centered Leadership Part 2: Framing

Overview

The Centered Leadership model will help you lead with impact, resilience, and fulfillment at work and in your life. There are five parts to Centered Leadership: Meaning, Framing, Connecting, Engaging, and Energizing. Watch “Introduction to Centered Leadership”.

Framing, the focus of this meeting, is one of the most exciting, because we learn to understand and accept our fears (reducing their power over us) and ultimately to shift the underlying mindsets and behaviors that have created those fears and our responses to them.

Meeting Goals

  • Understand your triggers and fears to reduce their power
  • Learn how to pause in moments of conflict
  • Develop strategies for facing your fears and shifting your mindsets
