Online Webinar
Tuesday, March 12, 2013, 10 – 11:30am

A critical gap exists in today’s leadership landscape. Research shows that less than 10% of leaders are equipped to successfully navigate the volatility, uncertainty, ambiguity, and interdependence that characterize complex environments. This holds across all industries and sectors.

Horizontal (traditional) leadership programs that focus on competency models and skill building have not closed the gap. They are inadequate to meet the complexity challenge. Strategic leading in complex environments requires a different kind of mindset. Growing that mindset, increasing our ability to understand ourselves, others, and the dynamics of any situation, is the new terrain of vertical development.

---

In this webinar, you will learn about their research and interventions using a neuroscience based vertical development model that focuses on the following:

• How understanding your brain can improve your thinking and performance
• The promise of neuroplasticity for unlearning limiting habits and patterns
• Why developing your SPINE (spiritual, intellectual, intuitive, emotional and physical) capacity is linked to effectiveness, resilience and agility
• How tapping into the social brain builds healthy and powerful relationships by balancing empathy and accountability

This webinar is open to anyone. Please forward this invitation to those outside of our alumni network.
