We are the result of past experiences

This training aims to bring awareness to executives and future leaders of the behavioral psychodynamics behind each leadership style.

All human behaviors have motivations and reasons unknown. The reasons of the subconscious mind prevail and the unconscious is usually the great master of behaviors in leadership. Behind all human behavior is rational, conscious or unconscious. 

The art of leadership is touched by the “marks” of each executive. Personal stories influence behaviors, interpersonal relationships, the power of influence and persuasion, as well as leadership style; what they do, why they do it and how they do it. The forces that affect the executive’s ability to decide and act consciously are complex. 

Without awareness of who they are and without realizing in awareness the way emotions act internally in decisions and behavioral dynamics themselves, executives are influenced by unconscious patterns in their life experience. 

This workshop looks at the influences of the psyche that affect the human behavior of executives within organizations. Many executives act shaped by stories from their childhood. Their “inner theater” and some inner themes may conflict, creating a personality in which the “scripts” acquired in childhood are true psychic prisons. Dysfunctional for the world of your adult life and work.
