Adaptive Leadership

20 April, 2024

A unique program for leaders on the Bulgarian market.


Together with Tai Chi master Valeri Ivanov we combined principles from Tai Chi practice, leadership experience and group-dynamic techniques to create a training for “Adaptive Leadership” in times of constant change.

We combine timeless principles with applicable techniques, ways of thinking and new approaches to everyday life and business.

ADAPTIVITY – it is our need and ability to change in accordance with our environment;

AUTHENTICITY – how to remain ourselves and be aware of our own position and identity in the fluidity of the environment;

PSYCHOLOGICAL SECURITY – is it possible and to what extent. What degree of security is available and comfortable for us. When do we destroy it and how do we manage to preserve it?

SYSTEMIC THINKING – trying to tame complexity through simple steps and dynamics into a comfortable means of moving even outside our comfort zone. Sometimes this requires trusting our intuitive perception of reality as it is.

Format:
4 sessions of 1.5-2 hours

Each session includes

  • Experience
  • Discussion
  • Conceptual model

Our goal is for participants to experience the four themes with their body and attention so that they can then recognize them in their daily lives and work and apply the principles and tools we will “equip” them with.

Participants practically experience the themes by engaging in body activities, participating in play routines in a variety of settings, using innovative tools for peer work, and open discussions.

-Experiencing the themes

-Tools for a new way of thinking about each topic

-Tools for systems thinking

-Opportunity to solve your case through discussion

-Opportunity to interact with other leaders

-A new perspective on leadership through the lens of ancient principles.

Who this training is for:
Anyone who is looking can “take away” from this training, we have focused it for experienced managers because we explore topics at a principle level. Experienced leaders who are already familiar with the standard theory and tools need new angles and perspectives.

Our methodology is based on the Synergy between change and sustainability through the right mindset, awareness of what hinders adaptability and tools to maintain that balance. We apply real-life experiences, breaking the stereotypes of theoretical academic frameworks.
