IDKN® is a leadership development approach built for the real world. It’s a leap beyond vision boards and mission statements. It begins where leadership actually happens—when uncertainty hits and you need to figure out what to do next.
We are the experts in helping you to get clear on what your goals are and how to achieve them. The coaching sessions are tailored to suit your needs and requirements
The idea of a sandbox is very simple. Come and play!We structure our sandbox meetings thusly:Live on-line for about 50 minutes – come and join in.
IDKN® has so many facets to it, and what you’ll find will be appropriate to your situations. We found when we worked with IDKN® ourselves, new perspectives and clarity would invariably bubble to the surface. We found this clarity paved the ground work leading toward an ‘inner conviction’ which in turn leads to an ‘authentic confidence ’ and genuine authenticity.
I and my office had the pleasure of working with Geoff Hinsley & Kathleen Curran, Ph.D. through their model: I-Don’t-Know-Ness on issues of communication, productivity and managing burnout. Geoff and Kathleen provide a safe, creative, and warm environment for us to explore these topics and apply the model to real situations that we deal with on daily basis. With I-Don’t-Know-Ness we were not only able to view these challenges through a new lens, but we were able to start working our way out of the mud
I was fortunate to be connected to Geoff by GWC and he gave me a great insight in the IDKN model. Dealing with my own issues, I learned to be comfortable in the not knowing. Being in the mud, take a pause became fun and the positive effects on my mindset are a gift. In Dutch we have no distinction between the word reaction and response, so the model also gave me language to explain better. I was happy to join one of the first sandboxes with Kathleen and Geoff. Great experience and an invitation to practice more!
Some years ago Kathleen and Geoff asked the question 'What do leaders do when they don't know what to do?' and found the existing answers weren't really cutting it. Not only that, it seemed to be somewhat sidestepped. After all, as a leader you're paid to 'Know' are you not? No-one wants to be in that space of 'I Don't Know-Ness!' But wait. If you're leader who's going places, you'll certainly find yourself in these moments. And the more senior you are, the more the cost of getting it wrong! It pays to know about the muddy landscape of IDKN® and how to not only navigate it, but leverage it fully to your advantage.
