The Next Level Leader: Unlearning What Got You Here

  

What if the biggest barrier to your leadership effectiveness isn't what you haven't learned but what you've never questioned? In this transformational session, discover how identity inertia: the invisible programming from our formative experiences silently shape workplace dynamics. Left unexamined, these unconscious habits, may have fueled past success but now limit growth, impact, and authentic connection.

Through The Unlearning Advantage™ framework, you'll learn to recognize outdated patterns and replace them with conscious, future-focused leadership. This isn't just about personal development, it’s a call to model the kind of self-awareness and intentional growth that transforms teams, cultures, and entire organizations.

The real breakthrough doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from letting go of what no longer serves.

 

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify how identity inertia creates unconscious leadership defaults that limit growth and connection
  • Apply the POCA Model for Unlearning (Pause, Observe, Choose, Act) to shift from diminishing habits to amplifying practices
  • Create a personalized unlearning plan to let go of outdated behaviors and lead with greater clarity and intention

 

Ideal for:

Individual contributors stepping into leadership roles, emerging leaders, high-potential professionals, and anyone ready to lead from greater self-awareness and intentionality.

 The Cohesion Code: Building Teams That Move As One

 

Teams rarely struggle due to lack of talent or intention. More often, they’re moving fast, managing competing priorities and relying on routines that have not kept pace with today’s complexity. Over time, these patterns quietly create friction; slow decisions, cloud communication, and drain the momentum needed to move forward together.

This session introduces The Unlearning Advantage™ for teams, a framework that helps uncover the invisible habits that erode trust, create silos and weaken alignment. Rather than adding more to your plate, you’ll focus on unlearning what gets in the way of trust, clarity, and progress.

This session turns alignment from an aspirational idea into a lived team rhythm. When teams unlearn together, they stop working in parallel and start moving as one: faster, clearer, and with greater impact.

 

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify how identity inertia within the team, stalls progression and weakens cohesion
  • Evaluate how outdated team habits show up across key competencies and where unlearning can drive the biggest breakthroughs
  • Apply the POCA Model for Unlearning (Pause | Observe | Choose | Act) to shift default behaviors and build shared practices that cultivate clarity, trust, and alignment

 

Ideal for:

People leaders, functional heads, project leads, and cross-functional teams who are navigating complexity and ready to strengthen collaboration, clarity, and alignment by unlearning the habits that get in the way.

 

 Operationalizing Culture: Aligning People, Purpose and Performance   

 

Every culture tells a story. It reflects what is rewarded, what is tolerated, and what is unconsciously repeated. The most impactful organizations don’t just define culture; they bring it to life. They align behaviors, systems, and decisions with their purpose and empower people at every level to make that culture real, consistent, and scalable.

 This session applies The Unlearning Advantage™ at the organizational level to close the gap between cultural aspiration and execution. You will explore how to move from values on paper to values in practice by unlearning outdated habits, legacy norms, and ingrained assumptions that no longer support your strategy.

 You will gain tools to activate culture through daily behaviors and reinforce it with systems that drive alignment and accountability.

 

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify the systemic patterns and assumptions that misalign culture from purpose and performance
  • Apply the POCA Model for Unlearning (Pause | Observe | Choose | Act) to lead culture transformation through intentional, shared behaviors
  • Design operational practices and feedback loops that embed unlearning into daily work and cultivate sustainable results
  •  

  • Ideal for:

    C-suite leaders, Senior executives, culture and people officers, transformation teams, and executive groups focused on building a culture that is reflected in everyday decisions, interactions, and outcomes.
