Leadership Naturally

While many existing resources give people the language and knowledge of leadership, few programs empower people with the tools, methods, and inner resources — the ‘how’– to achieve their own natural, authentic, embodied, and empowering leadership style. Most programs focus on learning about leadership theories and acquiring leadership skills, emulating others’ leadership, or trying to consistently adopt behaviors described and learned in a didactic format. This leadership program focuses on enabling emerging leaders to find their own voice, innate wisdom, natural skills, and individual way of being as leaders through partnership and immersion in nature. “Leadership Naturally” is a Nature based program for leadership development that combines restoration, reflection, empowerment and powerful conversations.  This is a three part program but can be adapted to your specific leadership focus as a half day program.

Fire in the Forest

Forests and trees are dynamic and living organisms. Like people, they are subject to “disturbances;” events that test and develop resilience.
For trees and forests in Banff National Park, the most defining disturbance is fire. Fire can burn slow and low, fast and hot, or any temperature in between. Like an issue facing an individual or organization, fire motivates/demands a response. The response varies depending on the type of tree, the intensity of the fire and the condition of the forest as a whole – just as a person’s response to a disturbance varies according to the individual’s personality, the intensity of the challenge and the condition of the community to which that individual belongs.

Understanding the dynamic of fire and how trees in Banff have co-evolved with this important process will provide insights into what resilience means to forests, to you and your organization.

We are happy to adapt our programs to meet your groups theme and needs.
