Individual Development Workshops
Individual leadership development workshops are:
Five workshops in two formats: 3 hours and 7 hours
1. Leadership 101
This foundational workshop for all levels of leadership features cutting-edge content, including action-learning exercises to:
- Understand how leaders are distinguished by their sense of direction and their ability to appreciate and unite the best in people and situations.
- Learn to develop your own intentional leadership to better shape your projects and life with your passions, talents, and aspirations.
- Discover how appreciative leadership elevates your level of awareness and emotional intelligence and maximizes the potential of people and situations.
- Learn to leverage the interplay of the two key leadership attitudes and thus develop leadership that is both conscious and courageous.
2. Leadership and Emotional Intelligence
The emotional intelligence of an individual or group has become more crucial than ever for their well-being and performance at work. We are emotions, and learning to master these vital forces is key to any leadership role. This training presents the different dimensions of the concept of emotional intelligence, in addition to incorporating practical exercises that allow for personalized learning.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) psychometric tool can also be integrated into a one-day format and helps develop a better understanding and appreciation of personality differences within a group.
3. Leadership, Communication, and Managing Differences
Using the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) psychometric tool, this workshop aims to develop a better understanding and appreciation of different communication and conflict management styles within a group and within oneself. Practical exercises also provide personalized learning.
4. Leadership and Recognition
At the heart of leadership is the ability to see the best in others, develop their potential, and support their growth. At the group level, a culture of recognition stimulates collaboration, innovation, and performance.
This workshop aims to present the scientific foundations demonstrating the transformational power of recognition at the individual and group levels, and how each person can also awaken and develop their potential through recognition-based leadership. Practical exercises also provide personalized learning.
5. Group Leadership
Leadership is a free and voluntary collective force that differs from command-and-control by being an exercise of power-with, rather than power-over, people and situations. The democratic leader unifies the voluntary forces of a group, serving a common will. Concepts of group dynamics and team building are presented, and reusable practical exercises are shared to develop team leadership skills.
This workshop can also incorporate the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) psychometric tool, helping a team develop a better understanding and appreciation of personality differences and complementarities within the group.
Experiential Leadership Workshops
In addition to conventional classroom formats, François also innovates with various experiential pedagogies: outdoors, with horses and physical exercises, in order to develop embodied leadership.
Testimonials
The following results and testimonials come from my Ph.D. research with my clients from 2014 to 2018.
Marketing Director
—The workshop you offered allowed me to discover a new dimension of my yin (i.e., awareness, gratitude), and that’s certainly what I’ll remember, a moment of profound change, a kind of “fine-tuning,” like a gift, a treasure that I’ve been taking out from time to time, to revisit and better understand…
French CEO
—His method is based on human development and our ability to help others grow. This new approach to leadership explored by François Héon has the genius of being essentially based on a reminder of the fundamentals of humanity, from which we are so far removed today. It has the merit of an apparent simplicity that makes it attractive and easy to apply.
HR Director
—After two years of experience coordinating your workshops within the organization, I continue to draw inspiration from your model to develop my own leadership programs as an HR Director and to learn how to manage leaders. It’s simple and useful.
HR Director
—I was truly impressed by the level of ongoing engagement from all the participants throughout the 20 sessions, as it was so relevant to them, both as managers and personally.
VP IT
—A very informative and educational model that makes us reflect on our relationships with others. It helps us better understand how to approach problems at work and in our personal lives. It has reinvigorated my leadership.
HR Director
—Participants arrived at the sessions discouraged and tired, but the workshops gave them a sense of mastery: the ability to reframe their situation and find ways to influence. They also helped them appreciate the “differences” of others rather than labeling them and reacting.
VP IT
—It helped me identify my own strengths and skills as a leader, and to better fulfill my leadership role.
VP IT
—“Extraordinary.” Even though I don’t speak much, I really enjoyed it; it was truly motivating.
French CEO
—Excellent experience! A moment to step back and reflect on our own abilities. A break to reconnect with ourselves.
VP IT
—It was useful in my daily management as Vice President.
