Sponsees

Welcome to Lift – a sponsorship and advocacy program for the investment management industry. We’ll be sharing our learning resources on this learning hub so you have easy access to all of our content in one place. There’s so much to explore in the wonderful world of leadership, sponsorship and advocacy. Our goal is to curate some of the best and most inspiring content to support your growth journey. Enjoy.

Workshop 1 – Adaptive leadership

Workshop overview

In our first two workshops we’re exploring mastery of the inner game of leadership as an essential step to excel at the outer game.

In workshop 1, adaptive leadership is our focus. You’ll work on an adaptive leadership challenge by exploring:

  • Your personality – how you show up, your incredible strengths and how they are overplayed to reveal your greatest growth edge
  • Your perspective – broadening your perspective by understanding how your ego, mindset and identity shapes your view and drives your behaviour
  • Your practice – developing new habits to achieve your adaptive challenge

Workshop 2 – Your leadership potential

Workshop overview

The world needs more good leaders. Leaders inspire and drive communities to act, they bring out the talents and potential in the people they serve, and they challenge the status quo to create novel ways of solving tricky problems.

In this session we’re going to spend the day developing your leadership potential by unpacking your leadership purpose and profile before crafting a 5 year career plan.

Workshop 3 – Make your mojo

Workshop overview

Leadership is a marathon, not a sprint. Managing your energy and nurturing your confidence is critical to play the long game. Playing to our strengths, overcoming negative self-talk, and making time for the stuff that fills us with joy and nurtures our wellbeing are all ways we can sustain our energy and boost self-belief. When we do, we step into our full aliveness and become a leader who others want to work with.

In this session we’ll play with tools and resources to create energy that fuels you, attracts others to you and sustains your leadership journey.

Workshop 4 – Influencing stakeholders

Workshop overview

Nothing happens in organisations without the input or sign off from multiple stakeholders. Navigating these relationships with a greater sense of ease and confidence is key to improving your leadership impact. In this session, we’ll prioritise your key stakeholders and develop a plan for deepening the relationship based on trust, value and shared understanding.

Workshop 5 – Communicating with impact

Workshop overview

Much of leadership is a conversation – with peers, direct reports, clients and other stakeholders. In this session we’ll explore how to effectively influence others and get stuff done by honing our adaptive communication skills and building trust through:

  • empathy and relational connection
  • clarity and conviction
  • message and medium

Workshop 6 – Building connections

Workshop overview

A deep professional network is not just about landing your next job. Trading ideas, providing mentoring and support, and gaining different perspectives are among the vast benefits that come from a professional network built on reciprocity. In this session, we’ll unpack:

  • your networking mindset
  • who’s in your network, and who needs to be
  • the value you have to offer
  • ways to deepen your network

Let’s stay connected.
