THE INNER GAME

Most tech leaders struggle to remain agile, optimistic and resilient in the face of constant change and setback.  The weight of constant urgency, frequently shifting goal posts and ambitious objectives can result in distress, burnout, decreased performance and attrition. The Inner Game focuses on the mindsets needed to build emotional resilience in times of setback, challenge or change so leaders can maintain their focus, productivity and well being.

 "This session was a true eye opener.  I had no idea I had so many stories in my head until we wrote them down and put them on the table.  I could relate to the stories of everyone else in my cohort and found it super helpful to see how the stories impacted our collective behavior.  It's difficult to see how these stories have shaped me and my career, but I know the new stories we created in class will change the way I behave in the future.  Ingrid created a safe space for a rich and deep conversation about things that really matter.   I already feel like a different person as a result."
