The Creative Leadership Workshop (1.5 LU)

What does it take to be an A+D firm leader? Create your own path to success with business strategy consultant and leadership coach, Elisabeth Sporer, AIA CIC, whose approach rooted in mindfulness is influenced by psychology and neuroscience.

During this 90-minute, leadership-coaching-meets-personality-test interactive session, Elisabeth will share the various A+D leadership personalities and why personality tests matter; how values and communication styles influence firm culture and the skills an A+D practice leader needs to master—from knowing who they are with its limits and opportunities; to building and leading teams; to stewarding firm culture; and to staying on top of best practices.

Participants will explore how to better understand and manage their physical, emotional and mental reactions, so that they can perform and behave more skillfully in particular under stress. Participants will gain competence in shifting from a reactive mode to a creative way of meeting challenging situations. Participants will gain competence in connecting with their core values; and learn practical tools to be present and to recognize the best path forward in the midst of challenging situations.

NOTE: Please try to arrive 25-30 minutes early, in order to complete a short personality test and socialize with your fellow workshop attendees!
