A Leadership Experience
See yourself differently. Lead intentionally.
Your personalized EQ‑i 2.0 insight is where you begin. What follows is a curated, immersive experience, and 90 days of support - connecting how you handle pressure, where your real strengths are, and how both show up when you lead.

Why SHIFT
Not a retreat. Not a workshop.
An immersive experience.
Built with intention, rooted in research and experience.
A Precise Read on How You Operate
A personalized EQ‑i 2.0 assessment and a confidential 1:1 debrief before the day — your patterns under pressure, your conflict style, and how others actually experience you.
More Than One Way of Seeing
Explore how and why you operate: emotional intelligence, the physiology of stress, visual thinking and the science of wellbeing and performance. Insight no single assessment can capture.
90 Days to Put Insight Into Practice
Access to support as you iteratively apply new self-awareness in the context of your work and life.
“95% of people believe they're self-aware. Only 10–15% actually are.”
— Tasha Eurich, Organizational Psychologist
The Progression
1 + 90
Insight is a beginning
(Grant, Curtayne & Burton, 2009; Jones, Woods & Guillaume, 2016; Lacerenza et al., 2017)
Phase 01 · Before
A personalized starting point
Each participant completes an EQ‑i 2.0 Leadership Assessment, receives a personalized report, and meets privately for a confidential 60-minute debrief to identify their personal learning edge.
Phase 02 · During
A restorative day of discovery
A highly facilitated day at The Royal Hotel integrates emotional intelligence, visual thinking, reflection, dialogue, and experiential learning. Participants leave with a clear 90-day development intention.
Phase 03 · After
90 days of
application
(London, Sessa & Shelley, 2023)
Responsible for helping your team manage pressure, and want to understand it more deeply yourself first.
New to leading people, building your own way of doing it on the job, in real time.
You want greater self-awareness, without being reduced to a personality type or assessment score.
Curious about your own emotional intelligence, and how it connects to performance under pressure.
Working in HR or leading a business, and want to do this work on yourself before bringing it to your team.
Who It's For
For leaders ready to build the part of the job nobody trained them for.
Do you recognize yourself in any of these?
Ready for development that treats performance and wellbeing as connected, not competing.
Carrying high pressure for a long time, without the space to look at how it's shaping the way you lead.

The Setting
Development happens differently
when the environment changes.
(Kaplan, 1995; Sonnentag, Cheng & Parker, 2022)
SHIFT takes place at The Royal Hotel in Prince Edward County.
A historic property restored with the same attention to detail we are bringing to SHIFT.
HR Navigate is proud to host this experience in Prince Edward County.
Visual Facilitation
Make the unseen visible.
Personal visual practices help participants see their own thinking and patterns. Live graphic recording captures the collective journey, while graphic facilitation helps connect each stage of the experience.
The purpose is not artistic performance. It is to make complex human and organizational experiences easier to see, understand, and work with.

Different lenses. One day.

Development requires trust
SHIFT is a facilitated leadership development experience. Assessment results, personal reflections, and individual integration sessions remain confidential. Sponsoring organizations may identify broad development goals, while participants retain control of what they choose to share.
