Delivered at the beginning of every Lead Happy Coaching Experience or as a stand-alone Personal Development Experience, Lead Happy’s two-part Personal Exploration is a mind-altering look at who you are as a human and how that is determining the way you think, the way you operate and the way you lead. In many cases, in order to go forward as a confident, comfortable, authentic leader, we have to go backwards – to understand our story, our personality and the key influences and experiences that have shaped the person and the professional we are today.
We use a blend of profiling, coaching and therapeutic approaches that give people a fresh perspective on themselves, whilst being curious, having fun and exploring under the bonnet of our own mindsets, examining behaviours, strengths and areas of challenge. A Personal Exploration looks different for everyone – for most it’s a blend of enjoyment, challenge, reflection and profound realisation, and it concludes with visualisation and transformative goal setting. A Lead Happy Personal Exploration helps you to look kindly at the past in order that you can light the path into your future.

The reasons people enter into a Personal Exploration are varied and many are either skeptical or trepidatious. Some have reached a crossroads in their life or career and want to make the right decision for what next. Many have hit a stumbling block – or even a brick wall – in their life or career and want to unlock what is holding them back. It’s also a way in which we support leaders heading into change – a promotion or a shift of a different kind. For most though, it’s simply the next step in their development as a leader and a step they never forget. For leaders keen for a deeper look inside themselves, this will help them to understand their superpowers, their personalities-under-pressure, and the ways in which they can make the biggest difference.

The starting point - through conversation, exploration and new perspectives, we study our story so far, what we know about ourselves and our innate preferences in order to understand the person we are today.
We are all creatures of emotion over logic and once we’ve explored our inner selves, we layer on top exploration around what all of that means for how we’re showing up and our effectiveness at both knowing and managing ourselves and knowing and getting the best out of others. It’s always a challenging conversation when we hold up a mirror to how we manage trust, emotions, conflict and more - it’s one clients don’t forget.
It is who we are that determines the way we lead and with multiple new perspectives on who we are, and our levels of both personal and interpersonal emotional intelligence, we are now able to reflect on our leadership in a completely new way.
A Lead Happy Exploration is transformational in leadership and also in life. The experience of visualising our future selves in a very different way is a powerful motivator and agent for change.
