SACRED AND TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP WITH DR TJANARA GORENG GORENG

SACRED AND TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP WITH DR TJANARA GORENG GORENG

This workshop-interactive session will cover the theories, knowledge and work of sacred and transformational leadership including from an Indigenous perspective. Focusing on the work of Professor Robert Kegan. Tjanara completed a PhD at the Australian National University, examining the levels of leadership in Professor Kegan’s work from ego-centric to sacred and began to think about how First Nations culture in Australia used their education, governance and developmental systems to create sacred and visionary leaders along the lines of Professor Kegan’s theory of sacred leadership. This work has since produced a program of ‘sacred leadership and transformational development in leadership’ that Tjanara has designed and used over a two-year period with a large government business that employs 30% First Nations staff. She has engaged the middle and senior management of the organisation in transformational leadership over this period and the results have been astounding.

Tjanara mentors and coaches executives in a range of corporate, community, government and not-for-profit sectors in sacred and transformational leadership. She is a certified practitioner of the Leadership Circle ™ and utilises it within her programs and coaching scenarios. She also utilises her First Nations knowledge of sacred leadership development and her own training in various forms of educational development knowledge in her work. She is the Founder and Chief Visionary of OneINMA Global, a sacred transformational leadership education consultancy.

The day will include experiential work, interactive work and ceremony. Tjanara will co-create with you a safe and inclusive space to deeply understand her methodology, the sacred and transformational leadership knowledge and engage you in your own personal journey of reflection about your own levels of leadership in the sacred leadership ‘higher levels of thinking’ knowledge. Hopefully this work will enhance your own coaching and enable you to reflect about delving more deeply into this work to enhance your own practice.
