We work in a climate that’s volatile, uncertain and complex. It’s also full of exciting possibilities – if you’re willing to take a risk. By developing courage and exercising our risk-taking ‘muscles’, we can begin to adapt to a new way of thinking and working. And by taking even more risks, we’ll start innovating faster and creating positive change within our organisations.

This fun and fast-paced session will help you experiment, learn fast and move forward with greater courage and resilience. The workshop will use singing and conducting to create a practical experience of risk and innovation, of leading and being led through change.

Together, you’ll learn a song in simple harmony. You’ll then have the excitement and challenge of leading an experiment using this song, engaging with constructive critique and being part of a group trying to interpret and respond to change. It’s an exciting challenge.

This hands-on, interactive session will help you:

• Explore your personal relationship with risk 
• Strengthen your courage to innovate and experiment faster and more frequently
• Give and get fast, relevant feedback on your own and colleagues’ ideas
• Offer challenge and dissent constructively and in the moment
• Learn practical tools to improve your resilience and help you take risks more sustainably

The session will close with practical actions to help you apply your learning back in the workplace. There are no solos, and you don’t need any musical experience to participate fully!

Praise for previous sessions:

We’re creatives, so our job is all about taking risks and innovating. But that doesn’t mean we always find it easy! Kamala really helped me understand my personal response to risk, and be bolder about the ideas I put into practice. I’m now more confident about trying out ideas faster and with more of a game plan. And I back it up with the breathing exercises to stay calm! Definitely recommended.” Participant, Risk-taking for Change Makers

and another..

The risk session was fantastic, and really different to other sessions I’ve tried. Kamala really knows her stuff, and quickly had us challenging ourselves and doing things we wouldn’t have dared to a few minutes before! The idea of singing was a bit scary to begin with, but it was actually a great leveller. And it really helped us draw on that feeling of “what will people think of me, what if it goes wrong, what if I make a fool of myself” when you try a new idea at work. The directness and honesty of feedback within the group was amazing. Being able to experiment, develop what works and ditch what doesn’t quickly and confidently is such an important skill. I’ve been able to take this learning back to work and share it with my team.”  Participant, Risk-taking for Change Makers
