Hear what our local Australian facilitators are saying about Nine Conversations in Leadership ^TM

Nine Conversations in Leadership™ is an innovative leadership development intervention that acts as a catalyst for long-term development of leaders. The intervention is applicable at every level of the organisation and utilises a process that adapts to the organisation's context. Contact our local Brisbane offices to set up an appointment for our consultants to come and see you.

The intervention consists of nine facilitated conversations that occur within a small peer group (comprising up to ten people), referred to as a leadership cell. The purpose of each conversation is to share and learn from one another's leadership challenges and successes and to co-create ideas and solutions from shared learning and wisdom.

The Nine Conversations in Leadership™ intervention fuses organisational development and traditional training in a workshop format. It uses 360° feedback, peer coaching and personal development planning to create strong, committed and aligned leaders at all levels of the organisation.

The intervention examines leadership in the realms of Head (knowing), Heart (being) and Hands (doing). It brings participants together repeatedly to explore and cover all aspects of leadership, from organisational leadership to team leadership and the leadership of individuals and self.
Leadership alignment is a critical component for harnessing organisational energy to achieve the organisation's vision, values and strategy. The Nine Conversations in Leadership™ intervention assists organisations to achieve such alignment.

Self-assessment and peer feedback are key leadership development tools which constitute the foundations of self-leadership. While leaders develop through experience, they can accelerate their readiness to lead by receiving constructive feedback. Assessments are made in the areas of knowledge, attitude and behaviour, all of which are developed during the leadership journey.

Leadership Insights Across Three Continents

"Waves are not measured in feet and inches, they are measured in increments of fear." Buzzy Trent Leaders talking with leaders across three continents in January and February 2009 revealed insights on leadership, innovation, key strategic drivers and operational alignment for effective leadership in turbulent times. These insights and the underpinning need for leadership as a deep competence were identified by Craig Yeatman, Chief Executive Officer of the WorldsView^™ Holdings group, during his recent visit to WorldsView^™ Consulting's global partners in the United Arab Emirates [UAE], the United Kingdom [UK] and Australia. Yeatman engaged with a variety of leaders across a range of sectors including engineering, financial, tourism and government. All his conversations with more than 20 leaders from each continent started with one question: "What are the key strategic responses that we should expect from leaders in the next six months?" Opinion differences appeared to be influenced by perceptions of how long the downturn would last. On the one hand, seasoned leaders said it might last as long as three years and, on the other, a view of three months or less was seemingly informed by the bravado of those for whom this is a first'. Brett Yeatman, Channel Director for WorldsView^™ Consulting, presented the findings from Craig's trip at the Tomorrow's Leaders Convention.

Purposeful Teams™ is a powerful and participative intervention that moves teams to purpose-led execution. The intervention is applicable to natural task or project teams at every level of the organisation, utilising a process that adapts to the organisation's and the team's context.

Through the Purposeful Teams™ intervention process, teams are able to establish and internalise the reasons for their creation. Individual members and the team as a whole are awakened to the significance of their roles, resulting in activation around purpose and the unearthing of key commitments required for high performance. The intervention consists of a two-day workshop followed by two half-day review processes, all of which is facilitated by a member of the global network of Level 1 WorldsView™ Facilitators.

The Purposeful Teams™ intervention fuses organisational development and traditional training in a workshop format. It delivers team effectiveness by supporting the team in anchoring their purpose, identifying milestones as well as integrating task, relationship and process in a conversation based delivery format to create strong, committed teams and team members.

The Purposeful Teams™ intervention examines the team's context, mandate, milestones and members in the realms of Head (knowing), Heart (being) and Hands (doing). It brings participants together repeatedly to explore and cover all aspects of the team's purpose from the organisational perspective, the team perspective and the individual perspective.
