What separates the top performers from everyone else is that they aren’t afraid to make mistakes, and that they are resilient and rebound from mistakes. This webinar helps professionals learn how to manage their own reactions along with the loss of trust or damage that can occur to one’s reputation. The webinar teaches techniques from positive psychology and competitive sports which focus on how to quickly rebound from common mistakes. It also shows how to cultivate and use a strategic network of pacing partners to get feedback, test assumptions around the impact of mistakes, and to gain support and advice as to how to rebuild relationships and one’s reputation.

This webinar explores individual views on competition and risk taking, and proposes a new view of leadership for women: Collaborative Competition™. The webinar includes two individual assessments: one focused on understanding views around competition, perfectionism and collaboration, and the second to determine comfort in taking critical career risks necessary to advance.

Building a track record of being a self-challenger and risk taker is critical to becoming an effective leader. However, taking risks can be a challenge – especially for women. According to the current research on gender and leadership, women tend to take more of a perfectionist- and relationship-oriented approach to leadership. This webinar teaches women to strive for excellence in a comfortable and enjoyable manner as evidenced by the successful women who demonstrated a Collaborative Competitive™ approach to leadership.
