Leadership Awareness for the Progressive Thinker 

“It begins with self-awareness and managing risk”

Business executives recognize that emotional intelligence (EI) is a major determinant of the success of individuals and ultimately the company’s bottom line. A high level of EI encourages adaptability and empowers positive attitudes. People are savvier in handling relationships and can more easily handle challenging situations.

Those leaders that are aware of their own triggers are more flexible and resilient—which leads to greater confidence in their leadership abilities from themselves and their followers.

It does make a difference what you do and say. Your words and actions have an impact on your company. You have a greater influence in the thoughts and feelings that drive team members’ actions. Your effectiveness is based on how well you are able to discern others’ unspoken meanings and take appropriate action—or inaction.

You will explore the underlying motivation behind your behaviors and create your own action plan to negate unproductive thoughts and actions.

Ethics, and ethical behaviors, are critical to your reputation and to a successful company. 

Some ethical situations are black-and-white. Most are not – depending on your perspective, the visibility of the situation and the consequences of your actions. Acting ethically can fall in a wide and deep grey area. 

What is ethical to you may not be ethical to me. For instance, is incompetence unethical? Most people say, “it depends.” Furthering that thought promotes an in-depth discussion and raises awareness to many different facets. 

This course presents seven traits that begin with “IN” and explores the ethical implications of each. 

CRM to Increase Your Leadership and Safety 

"Awareness Discover alternate ways to break the error chain”

Your crew is the ultimate driver of safety. Working together ~ whether in the cockpit or on the ground ~ is critical. How do your flight department personnel stack up in their relating to the other crew members?

Dr. Shari presents cutting edge research on how emotions affect everyone’s attitudes and behaviors, and the influence on safety it has on your operation. Working side by side, pilots, schedulers and dispatchers, flight attendants and mechanics need patience and methods to diffuse power struggles. Interactions with CRS’s, passengers, executives can be improved by using the same techniques. 

You’ll learn from Dr. Shari’s interactive session proven systems to more suitably respond to external and internal situations and not react with ‘emotions’. In addition, you’ll minimize frustration and stress in your interactions.

Leadership Awareness in Conflict Situations

“Don’t use your 21st century mindset to counter their primal reactions”

Conflict does not necessarily need to bring about angst, anxiety and worry. From conflict, innovation and creativity can emerge, much like a phoenix rises from the ashes. As a leader, it is critical that you understand the emotional sources of the conflict. After this discovery, you can proactively diffuse power struggles and capitalize on the tension.

We can see conflict as a personal attack or a threat to our survival. In this view, our emotional options are limited: stay and fight, flee from the situation or freeze and hope we become invisible. None of these emotional reactions bring about the most productive outcome. Yet it is a natural, primitive survival technique.

This unique program is built around cutting edge research into human behavior and is firmly grounded in the disciplines of leadership and social psychology. Dr. Shari will share her latest research findings on what we perceive is threatened and why we retaliate and fight.

The Human Side of Human Factors

Both the FAA and the CAA define ‘human factors’ in a similar manner. In short, human factors is performing at your absolute best in your current surroundings. 

This program focuses on communications and relationships; emotions and resilience; stress and conflict; and how the intermingling of these elements affects your safety program. It will shed light on mistakes and who the human side of safety, errors, misjudgments and miscalculations. 

Included in this course are communication styles, TEA Tornado™, emotional intelligence, different types of demands and distractions, stages of conflict, and more. It’s a complete package in one course; the sections can be taken separately or consecutively. 

This course presents a different perspective to safety and the single biggest threats to safety: the brain behind your mind.
