Beyond Thinking Leadership Program
Details
Leaders and their teams are increasingly faced with changing conditions otherwise known as the VUCA environment - volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. Ambidexterity is key to the future and this means greater problem solving, creativity, EQ (emotional intelligence) and AQ (agility quotient) skills are required to perform optimally and stay the course.
Dynamic Growth Training specializes in providing these relevant skills and tools to support leaders and teams in functioning with greater autonomy and certainty because at the end of the day, how you experience the external going on, it all starts with You.

LEAD DEVELOPER & FACILITATOR
My name is Colin Thompson and I am lead developer and facilitator of Dynamic Growth Training. Many years ago, I was practicing as a chartered accountant in corporate and whilst my skills were well developed around business, I realized I had to learn more about people which I do believe are the most important asset to any company. So, I began my journey of self-discovery, getting to know myself first and as I learned more about why I behave the way I did, I then began to have a deeper understanding about why others behave the way they do. Through my thirst for knowledge in psychology, neuroscience and philosophy I discovered incredible tools that could help me improve the quality of my life, and how to better influence others. Through this process I also discovered my passion and purpose – to share this knowledge with others so that they could also have access to what I had discovered.
I joined Dynamic Growth training over a decade ago and together with our team, we developed a series of “Beyond Thinking” courses that would impart this knowledge to others, with practical tools that could be applied in both their professional and personal environments. We were one of the first training companies to bring advanced mindfulness exercises into corporate through our very unique coaching style approach. Over time as we moved deeper into the 4th Industrial revolution, and we found that our courses, being ahead of their time in terms of content and outcomes, were highly applicable to the environment we now find ourselves in, filled with volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.
For over a decade I have had to the honour to share this knowledge with many, and when I see the shine in their eye when they walk away, I am reminded of why I do what I do. I hope to see you in one of our virtual courses soon.

Change in other areas includes increased self-awareness, stronger levels of resilience to constant stress and change and the ability to go beyond standard problem solving into the realm of personal contribution and innovation.
As a self-directed team, we also continually work on our own professional development by being deeply curious learners of life.
To do so, we are continually at the edge of designing, developing and delivering what our clients say they require. Often times what happens though is far beyond that, as the natural flow within each class creates a distinct outcome unique to that group of participants.
