Lead with Joy and Curiosity – For Managers and Employees

“Lead with Joy and Curiosity” is a training program designed for both employees and managers, based on a new and engaging perspective on emotions in working life. The training is built around the seven basic emotions and how these are expressed in everyday life – both individually and in groups. All emotions serve an important function when they work in their proper function, but we often get stuck in certain emotional states (excess or shortage of certain emotions) that can limit our collaboration, engagement, and job satisfaction.

The goal is to create understanding of how emotions affect us, our relationships, and our work environment so that we will work more effectively together. You will be supported in better understanding both yourself and others, and through that, develop confidence, curiosity, and clarity in collaboration. The training provides tools to build psychological safety, increase intrinsic motivation, and create a workplace culture where creativity, innovation, and learning can thrive.

For managers, the program also includes a dedicated leadership track with exercises, reflection questions, and support materials to help you work further with your team. For you to feel confident to lead the exercises we have included suggested speaking notes – You will gain concrete ways to lead with curiosity and joy and handle challenges that may arise in times of change. You will also be equipped to lead workshops on feedback, and developing positive group dynamics.

Among the content you will find:

• How to work better with people who are different from you.
• Feedback – what prevents us from giving and receiving feedback in a mature way?
• How do we handle procrastination?
• What are your natural strengths?
• How can you develop your “untrained muscles” that balance your natural strengths?
• Are you driven by illogical fears in certain workplace situations?

The training is structured in modules where each part begins with an introduction and is followed by a number of topics that you can explore either in sequence or based on your own interest. Each section includes reflection questions that you answer in a downloadable document – completely private. If you want, you can later use your answers as a basis for discussions with a coach or in a group.
