Qualities of Practice: Solo

Solo: Growing your personal leadership

Solo is a set of leadership learning experiences that guide you through a number of Qualities of Practice exercises with different themes. Each exercise invites you to do a card ‘mapping’, either through the online card system or with a pack of Qualities of Practice Cards®. Reflective questions are provided to deepen your learning.

Advancing beyond profiling systems, Solo helps you see more clearly:

  • When your leadership is ’out of balance’ and how to re-balance with a ‘both-and’ mindset

  • How you show up differently in different situations

  • Your habitual self and how you can make more intentional choices

  • How some qualities become eclipsed in yourself and discovering how to illuminate these qualities

  • How different people evoke different qualities in you

  • Your perception of others

  • What happens in times of conflict and challenging situations

  • How to overcome relational difficulties

Experience it for yourself with our Online Qualities of Practice taster

The taster will take 10-15 minutes to complete – longer for those who want to explore the exercises in more depth.

“What the EB Centre has created is fascinating - it contains all the wisdom of their combined experience with leadership learning and development. And the way I was guided through the cards and innovative reflective questions was beguiling.”
