LEARNING AGILITY
Growth Mindset and Continuous Development Through Theatre
Cultivate learning agility through theatre pedagogy fostering growth mindset, double-loop learning, and situational adaptability—building resilient leaders who embrace challenges, persist through setbacks, and drive continuous organizational evolution.
What This Programme Is
Learning Agility & Adaptive Leadership develops capacity for continuous learning, rapid adaptation, growth mindset, situational flexibility, and comfort with being perpetual beginner. Drawing on Carol Dweck's growth mindset research (abilities develop through effort), Robert Kegan's immunity to change framework (uncovering competing commitments), and De Rue, Ashford, and Myers's learning agility framework (mental, people, change, results agility, and self-awareness), this program builds leaders who embrace challenges, persist through setbacks, see effort as path to mastery, learn from criticism, and adapt flexibly across varying contexts.

Leaders facing constant disruption requiring continuous adaptation
Anyone needing to develop flexibility across different situations and contexts
Executives building growth mindset cultures

Those committed to continuous learning and development
Format
Embodied practice including rehearsal as normalization of "not yet," character work for people agility, improvisation for change agility, performance under pressure for results agility, Forum Theatre testing new behaviors, and status work for situational flexibility.
