Overview

What is adaptability intelligence? It's an Emotional and Social Intelligence Leadership Competency that entails having the flexibility to handle change, balance multiple demands, and adapt to new situations with fresh ideas (Goleman et al., 2017). 

Just as water has the ability to shapeshift, leaders must navigate challenges from natural disasters to energy transitions, adapting their approach based on what communities need most. 

When clear and pure, water gives life – as long as it retains its own clarity. This intensive 4- day program allows leaders the opportunity to revisit the clarity of their leadership purpose. It allows them time to pause and reconnect with themselves, and with others on similar journeys. While the facilitators and guest speakers expose them to new ways of leading, they will also learn from each other, creating a powerful community of learners. While picking up skills to manoeuvre the pressing matters of managing people they also develop clarity on strategic plans to succeed in the long term. 

Even when faced with obstacles - navigating flood waters in urban districts, facing resistance to cultural transformation or leading critical conversations with a challenging team member - water finds new paths forward. This mirrors how emotionally mature leaders navigate complex transitions: with persistence, purpose, and unwavering authenticity.
