What an extraordinary full-day session we had with the emerging leaders of one of the top real estate companies in the UAE!
This wasn’t just another leadership workshop.
It was a creative, high-energy experience packed with deep learning and real-world application.
We started with a powerful question…
What roles do great leaders actually play?
Through Lego-based storytelling, participants brought these roles to life; from coach to strategist, influencer to connector, with stunning creativity and insight.
We then zoomed into communication, a cornerstone of leading others.
Using Aristotle’s rhetorical triangle, ethos, pathos, and logos, teams crafted powerful ad campaigns that made us laugh, reflect, and learn.
The brilliance of persuasive communication was right there on display.
We also explored what it means to communicate assertively; not passively, not aggressively, and certainly not passive-aggressively…but with clarity, confidence, and care.
These moments of role-play and practice sparked real breakthroughs.
Then came the tough stuff: conflictresolution.
We examined our default styles, and learned how to separate the person from the problem, focus on interests over positions, and generate creative options to reach win-win solutions.
Harvard case studies gave us a sharp edge, while group discussions grounded the theory in practical reality.
And of course, we tackled influencing, not just for compliance, but for commitment.
Because…
Real leadership is about inspiring belief, not just action.
This session is one key milestone in their longer leadership development journey, with group coaching and more growth-oriented sessions to follow.
Fun.
Focused.
Deeplyinsightful.
That’s how learning should be…and that’s exactly what we experienced.
