Leadership Dials©: A Calibration System for Leaders Under Pressure
Whether you’re leading a team, running a practice, supervising colleagues, or stepping into a new leadership role, the moments that define your leadership are rarely the easy ones. Under pressure, even experienced leaders tend to drift toward one of two extremes: softening to preserve relationships or tightening control to keep things moving. Both responses are understandable, but both can quietly erode trust, clarity, and effectiveness.
In this 90-minute workshop, Emily Braucher introduces the second dial in the Leadership Dials© calibration system, a practical framework for making better leadership decisions in real time. Rather than choosing between empathy and authority, you’ll learn how to hold both at once. Through practical tools and guided reflection, you’ll identify your default patterns under pressure, recognize when a leadership strength has become an overused habit, and practice using the Calibration Loop© to adjust your approach with greater confidence and intention.
Especially valuable for clinicians, coaches, and other professionals moving into leadership, this workshop offers practical tools that translate immediately to teams, practices, and organizations of any size.
