MODULE ONE

Map Your Next Move

This may be the deepest dive you've done into what makes you tick. Your drivers shift over time, so we'll be looking at your long-term patterns and your skills compared with other leaders and current market expectations.

• Identify your true purpose (it's rarely your first guess)
• Learn from your past highlights reel
• Set growth goals that fit YOU and not just the norm
• Identify the skills you need to build, rather than all the skills you know you don't have yet
• You can't build a career in a vacuum, so we'll also be mapping your network

Most career moves are decided with a yes/no response to opportunities that appear like a bunny from a top hat. Now, you'll have a strategy. With or without a clear dream-job in your sights, you'll have a Yes-If checklist so you can be sure your next promotion is indeed a great move.

MODULE TWO

Authentic, Magnetic Branding

We're all known for something - and there's no OSFA for great leadership. This week, you're going to build your brand kit:

• Unpack what you're known for and what you want to be known for
• Craft a succinct 'what I stand for' message and see it play out face to face and in print
• Craft a Bio, Resume and LinkedIn profile that fit the image you want to project. Don't be limited by how you feel about yourself on your least-confident days.

Mostly, unconscious bias is your greatest time-saver. But when it comes to the messages you tell yourself? Bias can be a curse - and mostly because it is UN-conscious!

The colour of your hair and the height of your heels have very little to do with your brand- for most people! You'll come away from Module Two knowing what people think of you - or how to find out. And you'll know which bits to keep and which to flush.

MODULE THREE

Control Yourself (Don't Contain Yourself)

In module three we tackle the grey area of the grey matter. Mindset week unpacks what's holding you back and the mindset hacks you can use to tread some tricky lines. You want to be a team player, but you shouldn't have to feel like you need a shower afterwards. You want to be authentic, but you also want to be inclusive. This week is meaty on its own and lays the groundwork for the next two enormous weeks.

• When I speak my truth, they say I'm aggressive.
• Taking one for the team vs. being taken advantage of.
• Are you being resilient, or tolerating abuse?
• Exercise should be good for resilience... but its plaguing me like a clogged artery!
• Self-control vs. self-oppression.
• My sleep is keeping me awake at night.

We take on the leadership conundrums and create a cheat sheet for when they come up.

MODULE FOUR

Unlock The Key To Connection

This is the land of Emotional Intelligence. The #1 identifier in successful leaders. And unlike IQ, you can expand your EQ. EQ is worth a concentrated focus, because it impacts all else you do in a gargantuan way.

Let me answer the two most popular questions.

• 1. No, women are not more emotionally intelligent than men, but we do tend to be stronger in different parts of Emotional Intelligence.
• 2. YES! You can increase someone's Emotional Intelligence, even if they don't see a problem with their EQ!

Emotional Intelligence is a power-week, where you learn some of your blockers and start to build your EQ, ready for leverage next week.

MODULE FIVE

Your Story Bank

AKA, What / How to Communicate, When.

Let me tell you a story. I've interviewed thousands of leaders in the last 20 years- all of them impressive in some ways. But none of them have been as memorable as the ones who told great stories. There's scientific reason for it. More parts of your brain fire when you hear stories, than straight facts. Actually that's a rubbish story, but my story doesn't matter here. Your stories do matter.

This week is all about effective communication. We'll unpack killer strategies for Powerful Presentations and getting buy-in... but the most powerful of all, is creating your very own Story Bank. Crafting your message into a compelling pitch is one thing: but if you don't have stories, you won't connect. And logic alone does not build relationships.

This one week alone is worth the price of admission. Inspire followership through communication.

• Decide on the stories you need to have
• Fill your StoryBank easily
• Use our Don't be ARSD Story Bank® spread sheet to store and retrieve your stories easily, when you need them.
• Never again be shocked to silence- or lost for words.

Never again be lost for words. This is your absolute best-shot at being consistently on-message, personable, connected and inspiring.

MODULE SIX

Inclusive Leadership

Stellar teams make leaders look great. Module six is a powerhouse medley of finding the best people, leading them effectively and using science and celebration to help them gel together. Inclusive leadership is the essential, non-negotiable base-line. But in many workplaces, it's not yet the norm.

In Module six you can expect mini-masterclasses on:

• Situational leadership and adjusting your style for the circumstances
• Inclusion with lessons from Amazon
• Performance conversations
• Recruiting the right crew
• Opportunities to advocate

Whether you're the Michael Jordan (well-established doyenne) or the Michael B. Jordan (promising spunky newbie) of leadership, this week's dedicated focus on your people will boost your stakeholder management game and deepen your influence.
