This six-hour working session is for leaders who want to learn the science behind the way they make decisions and solve problems at home, at work, and when they are stressed. Living problems require living answers. The capacity of leaders to consistently perform these functions is directly impacted by their mindset, which they should be able to recognize and know "which mindset" to bring to the given moment.

In this session, provided by the TML RIsk Pool at no charge to Members, leaders will deepen their levels of self-awareness, others-awareness, and intentionality - by which they will gain a deeper awareness of the tools, exercises, coaching, and peer-to-peer support activities that help assure success.

Decision-making and problem solving influence your organization's risk management performance, including the safety of your staff. A leader's influence on assigned employees' behaviors is paramount to whether employees are working in a safe or unsafe working environment, which could also include myriad other potential liability exposures for the entity. This influence is impacted by the organizational or departmental culture, as well as employees' perception of the leader's expectations, whether positive/negative or right/wrong.

Prior to attending the working session, each participant will be asked to take a 15-20 minute assessment. The assessment results will be sent to you and only you before the session, so you are able to print them out and bring to the session. This assessment will let you see how naturally you are:

1. Open to new ideas and conceptual conversations
2. Seek routine, seek change, and open to learning
3. Cautious, hasty, assertive, yielding, or impulsive
4. Self-reflecting on analytics and trusting of others' ideas
5. Tough-minded, imaginative, accepting of ambiguity, and attentive to detail

The assessment is an MRI into your emotional intelligence. What we know matters and what we are matters more.  The assessment results have universal application ensuring the best day you have ever had with your city is one that you have not yet had.

Our mindset is the #1 predictor as to how a situation will turn out. Let's focus on the leader's mindset and allow them to see how they are showing up in all environments. Let's focus on the leader's mindset and allow them to see how they are showing up in all environments. Let's help everyone be more mindful as to what is going on around them by being more mindful as to what is going on inside them. Especially when opinions vary, the stakes get high and emotions run strong.

Nothing is fully learned until it is fully applied. Sometimes, we the leaders, can be the difference that makes the difference, in safety, with our colleagues and citizens. Learning is the new work. It should be in the classroom and on the job learning to and through performance.

We hope to see you at this special opportunity.

Lunch will be provided.
