As we continue to expand technology and increase our reliance on the use of artificial intelligence and algorithms, it’s more important than ever for us to be intentional about creating connection and belonging on our teams and in our organizations. There’s no better teacher for doing just this than the beloved fictional football coach, Ted Lasso.
In this hands-on workshop grounded in positive psychology and emotional intelligence, participants will explore four fundamental human-centered leadership themes from the popular TV show “Ted Lasso,” that have the power to create endearing and effective leaders, and transform workplace cultures into spaces of connection and belonging for everyone. Using interactive exercises, reflection, and discussion, participants will leave this workshop with a better understanding of:
· the neuroscience behind positive emotions and gratitude for well-being
· how curiosity and empathy lead to mindset shifts
· why compassion is better for performance than perfectionism
· masculine and feminine leadership traits and how to leverage each
Participants will walk away from this workshop with new perspectives about leading with more empathy, courage, and authenticity in the tech space, and the skills to begin creating conditions for greater trust and psychological safety, deeper connections, and a sense of belonging within their teams and organizations.
