Transformation vs. Change

• Awareness is instant. Practice takes time & energy

• Facilitator's role: provide deep awareness and process to channel it, provide new distinctions and tools to pay attention

• Change happens when: you take action based on the new learning and awareness acquired in the workshop

• When you teach it to others and role model it, you develop other leaders in the organization

Journey from Reception to Reflection

Reception increases awareness of the box you are in.

Paying attention to receptivity of others and opportunity in front of you makes you choose right action.

Taking appropriate action at the right time will allow you to produce effective results

Reflection on the whole process gets you to step out of the current box and lead!

3 Keys to Reflective Mindset

Become aware of who is reflecting (gain role clarity)

Where are you reflecting from? (What perspective are you bringing)

What are you reflecting on? (what is the content that you are focusing on?)
