The key message is that understanding how to take calculated risks is critical in the creation of dynamic leaders and managers who will innovate and change the world around them. Caspar's emphasis is always on provoking a change in the behaviours of the participants for the greater good of themselves and their teams. His overall aim is to break people's patterns, to energise and motivate and to provide tools not rules for collective change - it is for organisations to apply his lessons in a way which is most useful to them. Audiences feel incredibly challenged but in a way that is never prescriptive. The metaphor of poker is a fun and original one which gets people involved and engaged, but crucially, it provides just a starting point from which to explore these themes in a business-focussed way. Often, after a session, clients choose to play poker for fun and although this is optional it provides a perfect end to a day of learning, challenge and stimulation. http://chiefexecutive.com/jump_in.asp?ibt=EVENT_RSS&url=display_event.asp?id=2969 Bath Chief Executive Forum Hosted by Mike Wilsher At Homewood Park Hotel on 11 Sep 08 Workshop: Jeff Grout on Mind Games - Sporting Lessons for Business http://chiefexecutive.com/jump_in.asp?ibt=EVENT_RSS&url=display_event.asp?id=2722 tbc http://chiefexecutive.com/jump_in.asp?ibt=EVENT_RSS&url=display_event.asp?id=2711 tbc http://chiefexecutive.com/jump_in.asp?ibt=EVENT_RSS&url=display_event.asp?id=2660 Venue Bletchley Park http://chiefexecutive.com/jump_in.asp?ibt=EVENT_RSS&url=display_event.asp?id=2623 Monthly Meeting - Guest Speaker [speaker name] http://chiefexecutive.com/jump_in.asp?ibt=EVENT_RSS&url=display_event.asp?id=2616 Monthly Meeting - Facilitator - Alan Branagh This will be a super day with a difference, when we get together with two other Leaders Forum Groups to "Play with Purpose" Our facilitator for the morning will be Alan Branagh, leading us through a different way of problem solving; his session is designed to use creativity and hands on engagement and to release more of our brain power. When working with SERIOUS PLAY, you will use three-dimensional thinking by creating and constructing metaphors to describe the real situations you and your organisation faces. Building landscape models with bricks, giving them meaning through storytelling and playing-out various possible scenarios deepens understanding, sharpens insight and creates strong bonds among the group members. In the afternoon we will separate from the other 2 groups and work alone on LF9 topics and issues http://chiefexecutive.com/jump_in.asp?ibt=EVENT_RSS&url=display_event.asp?id=2557
