Leading in Our Changing World, a course for gifted leaders with Jennifer Harvey Sallin — starting late Autumn 2022

LEADING IN OUR CHANGING WORLD

This combination personal and professional development course, created and led by InterGifted's founding director Jennifer Harvey Sallin, is a 6-month learning journey for gifted adults in positions of leadership who are wanting to consciously respond to the challenges of our changing world (climate, ecology, social, political, etc), both as individuals and as leaders. Through study modules, homework, and live group discussions once a month, participants are invited and guided to dive deep into their personal and leadership processes and identities, considering our current global social, political, environmental and systemic challenges; and considering participants' own giftedness profile, energies, values, and personal and professional needs. The course content as well as our group discussions serve to cultivate personal and collective insight, transformation, and emergent possibilities for holistic, authentic and sustainable leadership in our changing world.

Specific module and discussion themes include:

  • understanding your leadership values, vision and mission
  • understanding how your unique giftedness profile and expression affects and informs who you are as a leader
  • finding the most authentic and effective use of your resources, gifts and influence in leading, advocacy and change-making
  • navigating relational and leadership challenges in a polarized social and professional context
  • building resilience and overcoming obstacles during periods of sustained personal and professional challenge
  • leading through self-care, developing a personal and professional philosophy of conscious technology use, and (re)connecting with your true natures
  • gifted-specific challenges and solutions to courageous, wise, determined and balanced leadership and engagement in the world
