Highly Dynamic Leadership Seminars
Opportunity Space ™ – Purposeful Interactions that Lead to Powerful Results
The Opportunity Space is the seconds in between when someone does or says something and when you respond.
You may or may not be good at, interested in, or energized by interacting with others. Have you ever been frustrated by:
- Trying to get your point across?
- Getting others to understand your expectations?
- Losing your cool, losing your temper, or becoming impatient or demanding?
- People arguing with you?
- Others constantly challenging you?
- Your team being frustrated, annoyed, or unhappy?
- Your employees who don’t seem to care?
Seizing the Opportunity Space helps you to interact effectively with others to accomplish what is important to you in a way that matches your goals and values.
Opportunity Space is comprised of decision moments. You may spend time, energy, analysis, committee meetings, and conversations with mentors to make some big decisions, but 95% of our crucial decisions are made in the Opportunity Spaces of the day. They are crucial because in these moments, you are usually having a conversation or interaction that affects someone important to you and to your success.
Why does Opportunity Space work? You will bring out the best in others when you help them to feel good about themselves. People will maximize their potential when they have a level of confidence, even if they are outside their comfort zone and learning something new. As an owner or manager, you can create the environment through your interactions with employees and peers where they feel good enough about themselves to learn, to grow, to take initiative and to push themselves to the next level.
