Masterclass Program

Using the same format and delivery style, The Masterclass Program builds on The Foundation Program by offering a closer look at three psychologically demanding scenarios that have been highly requested by managers and leaders as additions to the program, along with a fourth, ‘application’ Workshop.

The Masterclass Program structure is as follows:
1. Change Under Pressure: How to lead change;
2. Conflict Under Pressure: How to frame and handle difficult conversations;
3. Resilience Under Pressure: How to maintain wellness in tough environments;
4. Turn up Under Pressure: Delegate’s personal accounts of their use of the Red-Blue mental tools.

In the optional Turn up Under Pressure Workshop, the tables are turned and participants lead the session with brief verbal accounts of their efforts to apply the Red-Blue mental framework and tools, supported by Ceri’s guidance on practical application.

Adding this Workshop raises the bar for engagement. It sets the expectation that Program participants will actively apply their learnings along the way and will be able to speak publicly to this in front of their peers or even the Program sponsor.

This live session provides an energising snapshot of the Program content, creates awareness of the depth and breadth of application across the group, and reveals the emergence of a common language for mental performance.

MASTERCLASS WORKSHOP one

Change UNDER PRESSURE

Change creates uncertainty, rising stress and tumbling morale. Smooth out resistance and encourage discovery to cross the dreaded Valley of Despair. Learn how to reframe resistance, kick-start experimentation and streamline organisational change through fast leadership.

MASTERCLASS WORKSHOP two

CONFLICT UNDER PRESSURE

Too much conflict and you suffer personal attacks too little, and you get lazy agreement. Reduce difficult conversations and increase healthy debate. Learn how to value friction points, turn conflict into choice, and shift from clashes to cohesion.

MASTERCLASS WORKSHOP three

RESILIENCE UNDER PRESSURE

Relentless demands cause us to lose energy, lose connection and lose touch. Reverse the drain of chronic overload to let performance meet wellness. Learn how to neutralise the toxic effects of stress, avoid burn out and tune in to self health.

MASTERCLASS WORKSHOP four

Turn up Under Pressure

To make a difference, the mental tools must be put to use. Reverse roles so that everyone shares their story of how they have applied the pressure tools, for better or for worse! Bear witness to human effort, hear common language emerge, and feel the shift as people perform under pressure.

SERIOUS ABOUT PRESSURE?

If you are an ambitious leader or performer, or part of a team looking to get to the top of your game, let’s connect.
