Breakfast workshop - Building a culture for Innovation Mercure

Date: Thursday 17th
Time: 7:30am - 9:30am

Cost: BIIG members free, $55 non members

Your business culture will either promote innovation or limit this.  It either encourages people to think about the organisation or think about themselves.  It encourages people to strive for excellence and growth in doing new and different things or to play it safe and keep out of trouble.

The way people think about novelty, risk and failure will have an enormous influence on whether innovation is a nice idea or a genuine way of doing things in your business.

In this workshop we will identify certain attitudes and behaviours either limit or promote innovation and effective problem solving.  The crucial role leaders play in encouraging either effective or ineffective behaviours in others will be explored along with practical tips. 

Garry Trotter | Partner      SED Leadership & Culture

After several years in senior international leadership roles, Garry returned to Australia and in 2005 established SED Leadership & Culture.  The key objective of this business is to enable senior leaders to achieve their core purpose… ‘To create the environment where everyone can be their best’.  SED Leadership & Culture now works across a diverse range of clients drawing on a robust understanding of organisational psychology and leadership experience to devise practical, evidence based approaches to change.

Key outcomes of Garry’s work include senior leaders gaining significant insights into the gap between how they would like to impact on others and the actual impact they are having.  Significant shifts in leadership styles are the result of highly effective and sustainable behaviour change strategies.  At an organisational level, the impact of the current business culture on performance outcomes are understood, and senior leadership teams take responsibility for their role in creating a constructive culture based on common purpose and standards of excellence.

Leading Mindfully Housey Housey, 12 Armstrong Street North, Ballarat

Date: Thursday 17th
Time: 3:00pm - 5:00pm

Held as part of B31 Ballarat Business Month
Presented by Leadership Ballarat & Western Region

Cost: $35.00 (bookings essential, includes a copy of “Leading Mindfully” book)

In this two-hour workshop, Professor Amanda Sinclair will share stories and practices from over a decade of introducing mindfulness to many different groups of leaders. Drawing on her recent book “Leading Mindfully” and incorporating some of the latest cognitive neuroscience research, Amanda will show how small shifts in our habits of thinking and ways of being can help us be more effective in leadership as well as finding pleasure and enjoyment in the work. Amanda argues that mindfulness is uniquely suited to the day-to-day of leadership in families, schools, communities and other organisations; all those situations where we are seeking to influence others towards positive outcomes. For all of those who regularly feel captured by an expanding ‘to do’ list with insufficient time and energy for the things that matter, mindfulness promises a simple, sustainable and powerful path. Hosted by Leadership Ballarat & Western Region, the workshop will be experiential and interactive: an opportunity to practise mindfulness as well as learn about it.
