To szkolenie jest dla Ciebie, jeśli odnajdujesz siebie w tym opisie:
Jesteś częścią inicjatywy obywatelskiej na rzecz dobra wspólnego. Czujesz się (współ)odpowiedzialny za sukces swojej inicjatywy. Często upraszczasz złożoność doświadczeń innych, przedstawiając propozycje, pomagając w organizacji pracy, wskazując ryzyka lub przypominając o przestrzeganiu ustaleń. Gdy Twoja inicjatywa napotyka trudności, jesteś jedną z osób, które najbardziej się tym przejmują — nawet kosztem snu. Jednocześnie nie masz pewności, na ile możesz rościć sobie prawo do decyzyjności w grupie. Idealnie chciałbyś działać na równych zasadach z innymi, ale nie zawsze łatwo jest znaleźć sposoby, które naprawdę dobrze się z tym wiążą. Czasami odczuwasz dużą presję, by wprowadzać jasność, ponieważ to właśnie do Ciebie inni często zwracają się po wskazówki w trudnych momentach.
A 3-day in person leadership development deep dive for changemakers.
May 30th – June 1st 2025 in Katowice, Poland
People who take responsibility for their civic initiative often experience immense pressure. Stepping up to shape the direction of a social change initiative can feel exposing – you’re holding lots of uncertainty so others don’t have to. The Integralead Immersion Weekend is designed to create a space where you can shed the load of your day to day engagement for a while, immerse yourself in a social context of peers from other initiatives, learn from each other aswell as our experienced trainers and experience different leadership styles first hand. You’ll return home with fresh perspectives on leadership, practical tools to try out and a load of new relationships you can lean on when the going gets hard.
Who is this for?
This training is for you if you recognize yourself in this description:
You are part of a civic initiative for the common good. You feel (co-)responsible for the success of your initiative. Often you find yourself reducing the complexity of the experience for others by bringing proposals, helping to structure the work, pointing out risks or asking people to uphold agreements. When your initiative is not doing well you are one of the people who are likely to lose sleep. At the same time you are unsure how much power to claim in your group. Ideally you’d like to work on an eye level with everyone, but it’s not always easy to find ways of doing so that feel good. Sometimes you feel under a lot of pressure to bring clarity because you are one of the ones others tend to look to for orientation when the going gets hard.
Leadership is the collective practice of enabling each other to act for a shared purpose in the face of uncertainty.
What you’ll get
The Integralead Immersion Weekend is designed for 3 main purposes:
- Provide a space for people like you to take a breath, reflect and learn in a relaxed environment
- Support the forming of peer relationships across initiatives and borders, that you can lean on beyond the duration of this training
- Expose you to useful frameworks around leadership that can inspire your development as someone who takes responsibility for a shared vision.
Topics we’ll cover:
- Leadership as 5 collective practices: telling stories, cultivating relationships, structuring teams, strategizing, facilitating action.
- Qualities of leadership: how to show up, to create an empowering environment that supports peoples development
- Telling Stories: How to use the power of storytelling to foster a common narrative and align on a direction
- Structure and Rhythm: A steady backbone for powerful initiatives
- Peer Support: How to hold space for each other and open up new perspectives without giving advice or “fixing problems”
- Meeting well: unlocking the power of the one to one meeting (1on1)
If you’ve participated in our online training series “Integralead Essentials” some of these topics may sound familiar. It’s worth joining the in person training anyway – we’ll dive deeper in to each of them during the immersion weekend. If you haven’t participated in the online training, don’t worry – there’s no pre-requisites to joining the immersion weekend.
In our participatory and experiential learning approach our main priority is to meet you and all other participants where you’re at and shape the experience together with you. You’ll have a chance to contribute with your own knowledge and experience as well as shape the direction of the training by saying what you are most interested in. While we are certain that the topics named above will come up to some extent, what we dive deeper into depends on what each of the participants bring and therefore the agenda may be subject to change during the weekend.
About the location
The training will take place in the beautiful city of Katowice, Poland. Right in the city center and conveniently located next to the train station we’ll be guests at Banhof Katowice.
