Developing and Implementing an Outward Mindset
Format
This programme is typically delivered in two consecutive days of in-person training but can also be conducted live online, in modules using video-conference technology. Key concepts are taught through discussions led by an Arbinger-certified facilitator. The course is punctuated by videos, individual and group exercises, one-on-one sharing, and application of the tools to on-the-job situations facing the participants.
In the virtual workshop format, the content is broken into four sessions to allow flexibility in facilitation. Each session lasts approximately three hours, meaning the workshop can be delivered over two full days or four half days.
Content and Tools
In this workshop, participants learn the difference between inward and outward mindsets. They discover where they have been inward and how to turn more outward. They learn how to turn their mindsets and behaviours outward by applying the following tool sets:
Self-awareness tools—Four tools to overcome a self-focused inward mindset and more consistently work with an others-inclusive outward mindset.
Mindset change tools—Two tools to implement and sustain an outward mindset.
Accountability tools—Three accountability tools to help individuals clarify their roles and hold themselves accountable for their impact on others.
Collaboration tools—Eight collaboration tools to help individuals and teams plan, work, and resolve differences more collaboratively and effectively.
