Beyond Leadership Skills: Developing the Mindset to Thrive in a Changing World with Dr Suzy Green
What if becoming a better leader isn’t just about learning new skills, but
fundamentally changing how we think, respond and make sense of the world
around us?
In this forward-thinking conversation, Dr @Suzy
Green explores the emerging field of
vertical development and its powerful intersection with positive psychology
and coaching psychology. As leaders navigate an increasingly volatile,
uncertain, complex and ambiguous world, traditional leadership development
approaches may no longer be enough.
Drawing on 25 years of experience as a researcher and practitioner dedicated
to helping leaders, teams and workplaces thrive, Suzy introduces a different
way of thinking about leadership growth. Rather than simply adding more
knowledge and capabilities, vertical development focuses on expanding how we
understand complexity, navigate challenges and respond to change.
Together, we explore what leadership maturity really means, why it matters in
today’s rapidly evolving world, and how evidence-based positive psychology and
coaching approaches can support deeper personal and professional growth.
This conversation will resonate with leaders, executives, People & Culture
professionals, HR teams and anyone interested in human potential, leadership
effectiveness and creating workplaces where people can genuinely thrive.
Key takeaways include:
– What vertical development is and how it differs from traditional leadership
development.
– Why leadership maturity is becoming increasingly important in navigating
uncertainty, complexity and change.
– How positive psychology and coaching psychology can support deeper
leadership development and help individuals and teams thrive.
At Cuppa, we believe conversations create impact. This episode invites us to
rethink what it means to grow as a leader, moving beyond simply developing new
skills towards expanding our capacity to think, adapt and lead with greater
awareness, maturity and purpose.
