Key Topics Lego Serious Play: People are intrinsically tied to their identity; some are fearful or opposed to new ideas that mess with their familiarity. A great way to introduce new ideas is by stacking the new ones with what they identify or are familiar with, much like different legos stacked onto each other. Profit Follows Leadership: Investing in leadership development and education creates more business leaders who are self-aware, accountable, and responsible in the workplace. Non-maleficence in Leadership: Non-maleficence–often used in counselling–is the principle of causing no harm to clients and making them feel safe. Leadership must also reflect on non-maleficence to encourage operating from a place of consistency and authenticity. Life-Changing Question: Katie asks herself and her clients, “What is the next best step you can take?” Focusing on an overall goal and aspiration can help one progress and look back at their struggles with confidence.
