Put your big decisions, projects or aspirations under the microscope. You’ll learn a simple framework to help you think laterally and creatively to deconstruct complex scenarios and decisions both in life and relating to your venture. Looking through different lenses you’ll gain insights and clarity on what’s really going on and identify your best moves going forward. You’ll leave with a different perspective on your most precious resources including time, energy and attention and with a focus on relationships and collaboration. You’ll rethink how and where you can get the most bang for your buck.
This process and the framework you will learn will continue to influence your thinking as it’s applicable to all aspects of your life or business.
Key topics include:
- Four Lenses framework
- Enhancing your opportunity pipeline
- Dimensions of opportunity and opportunity loss
- Compounding rewards from virtuous cycles
- The recurrent impacts of habits, mindsets and organisational culture
- Return for risk
- Exploring your time, energy and attention as finite daily currencies
- Expectation gaps and unwarranted perfectionism
- Collaboration and reciprocity
The session is suitable for entrepreneurs and for anyone interested in maximising their impact and taking control of the design of their life. Presenters Jess and Ian Pollard will share their experiences and their approaches to the building of lives, careers, teams or businesses – including decision-making at the big forks in the road. The workshop uses a mixture of individual and paired learning tasks.
The Four Lenses from their recently published MentalSpinach provide powerful tools and insights on direction, capturing relevant opportunities, maximising reward for effort and achieving sustainability. Copies of Mental Spinach will be provided to all participants. The Masterclass also draws on Ian’s previous book Investing in Your Life.
