Know Your Leadership Style Under Pressure

You can’t lead what you don’t first understand—especially yourself. This course breaks down the 5 developmental levels of self-awareness, helping you decode how you think, feel, and function in both personal and professional environments. True leadership begins with knowing the person in the mirror. Course Synopsis: In this course, you'll explore the journey from self-confusion to meta self-awareness—where you not only understand how you feel and think but also how you're perceived by others. You’ll learn how to pause, reflect, and regain emotional control when under pressure, and why failing to develop self-awareness can cost you your value, your growth, and your credibility as a leader. We’ll unpack: • The 5 stages of self-awareness development • How emotions inform (or derail) your leadership • A simple 3-question tool to manage emotional triggers in real time • What you risk losing when self-awareness is missing from your leadership toolbox

Reading Your Team When Things Go Wrong

Great leaders don't just focus inward—they look outward with intention. This course teaches you how to tap into social awareness: the ability to read a room, sense unspoken cues, and respond in ways that strengthen trust, connection, and culture. You’ll learn how to observe more, assume less, and develop the self-control to lead with empathy—even when it’s inconvenient. • Through relatable examples, practical strategies, and reflective exercises, you’ll discover: • What social awareness is (and what it’s not) • How to recognize emotional energy and behavioral signals in others • Why listening without interrupting your own thoughts is a leadership superpower • Common social blind spots (like phone scrolling or forced humor) that erode connection • A 7-day practice challenge to help you build awareness through presence, posture, and people-centered curiosity Because real leadership doesn’t just speak—it senses, sees, and serves.

What Your Crew Sees That You Don't

Social blind spots are the overlooked moments where your presence, tone, or attention (or lack thereof) can shape how others feel—and how they respond. This course equips you to tune in, not just with your ears and eyes, but with emotional clarity and full presence. You'll learn how to: • Be fully present and engage your “sixth sense” to detect emotional undercurrents • Decode body language from head to toe and spot misalignment between words and behavior • Practice deep listening by tuning into tone, pacing, and silence—not just words By recognizing what you’ve been missing, you’ll build stronger relationships, reduce miscommunication, and increase your leadership influence. Because what you miss in the moment can cost you connection in the long run.
