Mentalization, a key pillar in psychological training, adapted for entrepreneurs!
Mentalization is a high-level cognitive skill that enables business leaders to accurately interpret the thoughts, motivations, intentions, beliefs and needs of themselves and others.
Mentalization is critical to anticipating and influencing responses, decoding intent indicators and managing perspectives of coworkers, clients, business partners and investors. This is particularly true in highly dynamic environments such as startups, scale ups, business combinations and divestitures.
Mentalization enhances:
Communication & Influence effectiveness
Decision-Making
Leadership & Team Dynamics
Customer Care
Resilience & Self RegulationMentalization is what separates tactical operators from strategic leaders.
PROGRAM CONTENT:
- A theoretical introduction to the concept of mentalization, with relevant business cases.
- Interactive games where you pitch your business and hone your mentalization skills.
- A role-play challenge focused on applying mentalization skills in conflict resolution scenarios.
- A practical model to guide the enhancement of your mentalization skills and track your progress post-workshop.
ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:
- Learn the neuroscience-based skill of mentalization to improve relationships, negotiations and leadership.
- Connect with like-minded entrepreneurs and learn how to mentalize about yourself and others, while sharing challenges that you encounter as an entrepreneur.
- Learn to develop winning strategies in conflict resolution situations.
- Come away from the workshop with ready-to-use mentalization skills and a framework for enhancing and evaluating these skills on a continuous basis.
- Beyond gaining a theoretical understanding of the mentalization-based approach to leadership, you will actually practice the techniques during the sessions.
