Welcome!
Let's create some deep learning
and strong connections.
How does your language affect your leadership?
How does your leadership affect your language?
David Marquet is a retired nuclear submarine commander, how purposefully pivoted away from the traditional "command and control" of the military, and instead created what he refers to as "intent based leadership." It's all about shifting how we speak, how much we speak, and even what we speak about.
The analogy that he uses throughout the book is that of a playbook, like coaches use in sports. He encourages us to introduce a new set of plays into our leadership and language.
Play #1: Control the clock, not obey the clock
Play #2: Collaborate, not coerce
Play #3: Commit, not comply
Play #4: Complete, not continue
Play #5: Improve, not prove
Play #6: Connect, not conform
We'll talk about share of voice, bluework versus redwork, diverging before converging, and so much more.
Using a simple model of Quotes and Questions, we will step back from our day-to-day work and look at it through the lens of David's ideas. We'll focus on the first 3 plays during our first session, and the 2nd 3 plays during the second session.
It's about connecting with ourselves and others, and then using the inspiration and knowledge to create new ways of leading and living.
In order to get the most out of the session, I invite you to:

In order to get the most out of the session, I invite you to:
- Come with an intention to participate.
- Let those around you know not interrupt you, but bring your lunch if you want.
- Have pen and paper at the ready to write down any new learnings. (This is also recommended as this session will not be recorded.)
