What are you communicating before you even say a word?
In this conversation with Jude Jennison, founder of Leaders by Nature, we explore how unconscious non-verbal behaviour shapes trust, relationships and leadership impact.
Jude spent 17 years at IBM before developing her methodology that uses horses to reveal the behaviours leaders may not realise they are bringing into their professional relationships.
We discuss how stress, fear and past experiences can influence behaviour, especially during uncertainty, even when leaders believe they are presenting as calm and confident.
She shares why horses are so powerful at revealing incongruence between what we feel and what we project, and how this can expose patterns around trust, control, compassion and clarity.
Jude has coached more than 5,000 leaders, written 3 leadership books, and describes horses as the most honest feedback mechanism leaders can engage in.
What you will learn:
- How unconscious behaviours affect leadership impact
- Why uncertainty amplifies unhelpful default patterns
- What your non-verbal behaviour reveals about trust and psychological safety in your team
- The way to give and receive feedback without judgement
- The changes that can shift a difficult relationship
How aware are you of what you communicate non-verbally when under pressure?
