Taming the Sabertooth

The world of work is more fast-paced, digitized and interdependent than ever before, and any semblance of balance between home and work life has become increasingly challenging.

For professionals trying to do more with less, serve more demanding clients, and solve complex issues in a constantly changing environment, increased stress is becoming a part of working life. This new environment makes resilience a critical attribute, both for success and peak performance, and to avoid burnout. 

In the Taming the Sabertooth program, leaders discover that while they may not be able to control their environment, they do have the power to control their response to it.  We explore the challenges faced in a dynamic and changing environment, along with a practical toolkit of actions and ways of thinking that are at our disposal to deal with those challenges. 

Leaders engage in immersions to gain insights into how to navigate successfully through change, along with opportunities to reflect on and practice the skills they have learned. 

Teams participating in the program become a learning cohort that shares a sense of community, connection and purpose, both reciprocating support and holding each other accountable for putting what they have learned into practice. The neuroscience-based insights and approaches in our workshops help leaders to build long-term habits, not just skills, to sustainably change behavior.
