Leading in our Changing World, a course for Gifted Adults in Positions of Leadership, with Jennifer Harvey Sallin — starting December 2021

LEADING IN OUR CHANGING WORLD

This combination personal and professional development course 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. This online course is created and led by our founding director Jennifer Harvey Sallin. Along with her work founding and directing InterGifted, Jennifer is a psychologist, coach, trainer and mentor who specializes in supporting gifted adults and training gifted leaders. She brings two decades of experience in personal and professional development, leadership development, and professional training. In recent years, she has expanded her work to include leadership and leadership development in the climate and ecological domain. You can learn more about Jennifer's profile and work here.

Course Outline & Themes

Through 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:

  • how you can best cognitively and emotionally process what is happening in our changing world, as a gifted individual and 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
