Event Description Kathryn Stanley, Ph.D., instructor
The conventional view is that leadership or executive presence is fundamentally an outer phenomenon, having to do with how one appears, and that it comes naturally to a select few, e.g., executives. However, research indicates that a person’s authentic leadership presence is first and foremost an inner experience, having to do with how one thinks and feels. Additionally, it’s not an all–or-nothing quality, which a few people have and most people don’t. Rather, it’s a personal process, a habitual integration of one’s thoughts, feelings and actions, which is developed incrementally, and becomes more impactful over time. The ability of an individual to be fully present in the moment is a determinant of their authentic presence.
This full-day workshop will utilize the Authentic Presence Inventory (APITM) and experiential exercises that give participants insight into the sources of their own authentic leadership presence as well as understand how to increase their presence by being more authentic and present in the moment.
The Authentic Presence Inventory (APITM) is a statistically valid and reliable self-assessment that measures a four-factor model of the components that make up a person’s authentic presence. Participants will take this online survey in advance and receive the individual report. Experiential learning techniques will be employed to assist participants in working through each of the four components and understanding where they can expand and improve on their presence. This work on presence will them be used as the stepping off point for experiential leadership development exercises that include learning mindfulness techniques. Being more mindful or awake in the present moment has been show to have not only beneficial health effects (Brefczynski-Lewis, 2007; Creswell, et al., 2007; Davidson & Irwin, 1999; de Charms, et al. 2005; Lieberman, et al., 2007) but also a positive impact on a person’s ability to lead (Boyatzis, 1982; Dwek, 2006; George, 2007; Kouzes & Posner, 2003; Stajkovic & Luthans, 1998).
Upon completion of the program the student will be able to:
· Identify strengths and areas to improve on their authentic presence per use of the APITM
· Create a leadership/ self development plan
· Practice mindfulness techniques
· Use the current research on leadership presence and mindfulness including examples of applications in organizations and in clinical settings.
