Developing leadership capabilities for the common good through active learning opportunities.

22/03/2021

2021 is looking like another year of navigating new challenges and creating new opportunities.

Learn Leadership personal and professional development sessions introduce participants to strategies proven to improve decision-making confidence, clarity and awareness while caring for self and others.

One-to-one and group Active Learning Sessions combine activity with learning to boost overall sense of well-being and face whatever comes your way this year and in the years to come, regardless of what business or profession you are in.

To discuss customised learning and development options for yourself or your team, send Learn Leadership a message via the social media platforms.

- Turning Setback into Service -

The Stoic principle of physics asks us to see ourselves as part of a much larger whole so as to recognise how we can and chose to contribute. This morning I should be running 9km up and around Castle Hill in the race. Due to a troublesome knee I reluctantly had to pull out of the comp but decided I could still contribute by volunteering my time for these great local events.

Acceptance and move forward 😊

Accepting risk is not ignoring it but mitigating and preparing for it ⛑

Delivering professional development sessions in outdoor settings requires additional skills and knowledge to ensure participant safety and the highest level of care of self and others.

Last weekend I undertook a three day Remote and Wilderness First Aid course offered through Category 5 Emergency Care. This program was a great way to up skill and develop new practical skills through realistic scenario training within the natural environment of Paluma Range National Park. I also undertook the Advanced Resuscitation component to further my knowledge and skills in providing first aid response when airway or breathing attention is required.

We all hope these skills will never be required but it is critical we take precautions and ensure we know what to do if we are faced with a medical or other safety challenge while out enjoying our favourite activities.

‘Don’t fixate on the problem; evolve into the opportunity’ was my main message at the AHRI (Australian Human Resources Institute) ‘Reflecting on 2020’ event last week.

AHRI is a great community that provides opportunities for HR professionals to come together throughout the year to discuss strategies and share experiences.

I‘m always happy to be involved with AHRI activities and didn’t hesitate when invited to be a guest panel member for their final Townsville event of the year.

Insights from fellow panel members, Kim Carlyon from Learning Partnerships and Raelene Eves from Mater, and AHRI convenor Deborah Robson, made for an interesting mix of perspectives that will hopefully help keep the conversations going as we all navigate through the changes 2020 has handed us.

What a fascinating year it has been talking with professionals from all around the world and a wide range of professions from military, healthcare, artist, IT managers and architects, geologist, private investigator, writer, veterinarian and more about their experiences with applying Stoic philosophy in the workplace.

While the ‘ink is still drying’ on my PhD thesis, I am straight into developing new Learn Leadership initiatives that integrate my research findings.

Can’t wait to share my insights in 2021

What do acceptance, wisdom and awareness have to do with service delivery?

This morning I delivered a Learn Leadership session via zoom for around 70 members of the JCU Student Services staff on how to intentionally create Active Service Delivery.

We discussed how accepting what we can control, developing the wisdom to chose how to respond and being aware of our intentions can preserve wellbeing for ourselves and those we interact with. Becoming actively intentional about how we choose to contribute to the circumstances we engage with allows us to navigate the ever changing nature of a service delivery environment.

Thank you Megan and Julie for the invitation to speak with your teams 🙏

This time last year my mum and I headed out for one of our mother daughter adventure treks. We were meant to be doing the Kokoda track but when plans fell through for that we decided to take on the Thorsborne trail north to south along the magnificent Hinchinbrook Island.

Little did we know that before we’d even get to the island we’d meet fellow Canadian explorer, making us a group of three for a fantastic and very sweaty 🥵few days of trekking, camping, swimming and more trekking (and sweating) 😁.

Age is no barrier to adventure and great company makes the journey so much sweeter.

I’ll be returning to do this trek again mid 2021 as I offer a Learn Leadership Active Learning multi-day adventure experience for a small group of people. Drop me a message if you are interested as I’ll only be taking five people.

The ladies from Moksha Room Townsville really set the bar high on their Learn Leadership Staff Development day this week at the Outer Limits Adventure Park 💪🏻🙌🏻👏🏻

Developing greater awareness of how we interact with each other, improving our decision-making and intentionally directing our energy toward well-being were just a few of the topics I covered with this amazing team while they had a great time engaged with active learning.

Sore smiling muscles and laughter all around at the end of the day is always a good sign 😁

For their next session they want to hop in the kayaks - can’t wait! 🛶

-Setting & Achieving Goals-

Today was the day for me to achieve my goal of paddling my kayak from The Strand to Magnetic Island and back. 🙌🏻

Conditions went from brilliant on the way over to Maggie to spectacular for the return trip to The Strand ❤️🚣🏻‍♀️☀️🏝

Water is so therapeutic and the Townsville area offers an abundance of locations to enjoy being on, in and around water.

Today was a perfect day to spend time at Riverway Lagoon for a one-to-one Active Learning Session on rebuilding confidence after an injury.

Watching paddlers coming into Geoffrey Bay yesterday after their toughest leg along the windward side of the island. Absolute respect for these incredibly brave and skilled paddlers who tackled the NQ Ocean Paddle Series Magnetic Island Loop.

As my first time paddling in one of these events I took on and completed 🙌🏻 the 10km short course. As I expected I was well behind the rest in my kayak as they powered ahead on their surf skies (looks like there might need to be another craft added to my growing family of outdoor equipment 🤷🏻‍♀️).

Chatting with the other paddlers (lots of social time throughout the day 😊) made for an interesting day as each of us had a different experience. Some powered through the full loop sprinting to the last moment, others got cheered in as they rocked up to the end of a leg completely shattered, some opted for a water rescue when things got too crazy, some did as much as they could and pulled out when they’d had enough and others dropped in and out of the legs as they chose which sections they felt they could take on throughout the day.

I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this fun and exciting world of adventure events.

Hats off to Joel, Tamara and the whole team for water safety, timing, setting up and taking down at the start and end of each leg, shuttling crafts, gear and paddlers around the island and I’m sure much much more done to bring the event together while giving everyone a fantastic experience, keeping the mood light and relaxed with their smiles and enthusiasm.
