Cartoons
Cartoons?
A range of cartoons were specially commissioned for this course. These summarise key aspects. you are shown the cartoons and asked which lectures, which thoughts, they relate to.
Remember the cartoons; remember the principles.
One of the activities involves the writing of poetry.
Poetry?
We look at several poems about leadership - but you are encouraged (as with many lectures) to write your own and then share in the Q/A.
This is NOT a course where you just watch, absorb and move on. This is a course where you are encouraged to 'fill in the gaps' in accord with your own beliefs. There are also some fun activities on the way!
This course is approximately three hours long - but in reality it is a lot longer than that as you are given areas of your business life to consider, go away and then come back and share your thoughts.
No judgement - just the sharing of ideas.
Links and references are given throughout.
The material included is up to date as of mid-February 2023 - it even includes the 'No D***head policy' of the new Mental Skills coach at Chelsea football club!
