Underdog Development • Leadership Development for the Future –

We Believe in the Possibilities of People

Change is needed.

At Underdog we work by helping people deliver change through focusing on 3 systems:

3

1. Belief system

It is our interpretation of the world around us that creates our reality. Challenging the underpinning assumptions that help form this reality is key to unlocking behaviour change.

2. Work system

As organisations seek to adapt in uncertain and rapidly changing times, it will require a collective effort to define and create new ways of working.

3. The societal system

As we accept the reality that we have a collective responsibility to live and work differently in service of the wider society and the planet, we need to rethink the purpose of work.

How we work

Our capability and experiences provide the possibilities to create the right experiences to help people and their organisations.

Whilst we don’t have all the answers, we will work to…

Engage

We begin by seeking to understand and surfacing the explicit and implicit challenges that our clients are sat with. We are curious to hear your story so far and your hoped for possibilities. We aim to meet you where you are at right now and to help you illuminate where you want to go.

5

Explore

We recognise that the agent of change is the relationships people build between them. In these relationships lie all the support and challenge we need to notice and re-assess our belief systems. To come on our programmes is to connect with other people and build the trust and intimacy required to bring change.

3

Enable

We aim to let go gently of people we work with, to let them take the independent steps to convert possibilities into realities. Scaling – sustaining change –  means we expect people we work with help others grow. Success for us means you have both the aims and the means to continue long after we have gone.

2

Experiment

As we move past our limiting beliefs we free ourselves to try new approaches, tackling the obstacles that lie in the way of us progressing, and by taking these small steps in safe spaces we discover a renewed sense of purpose. Experimentation is a powerful tool for both individuals and organisations to overcome real and imagined obstacles.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

Albert Einstein

We help ordinary people overcome the obstacles in front of them by…

=

…creating a clear purpose and a sense of agency to work towards achieving it

=

…thinking and acting with compassion to care for themselves and the people around them

=

…unlocking the natural resourcefulness and creativity that come from connected human relationships

=

…identifying the unseen rules that inhibit individual and organisational change – and challenges them in pursuit of progress

=

…acceptance of struggle and setback as opportunities to reach out, learn and experiment
