Welcome to I Got Mind. We are excited to have you join our Tribe. Since 2008 we have been supporting teams throughout North America learn how to reach their optimal performance. This is achieved through education and conversation.
Welcome to all Members of the Calgary Fire Department
We at I Got Mind Inc. are happy to be sharing this content with you all.
The programs that you will have access to are designed to help individuals learn and grow. We have found in the fifteen-plus years of supporting teams and individuals that there is a great deal to learn to live the life we desire.
The most valuable part of the process we have seen is when teams learn together. It creates a common dialogue, it allows teams to understand each other better, and creates a culture of support and safety.
The CFD has identified that the teams need more support, more education, and more sources of support. This program will help meet these needs.
We ask that you take this seriously, give it your full attention and that you commit to helping yourself learn some valuable information to create the culture that all can feel good about.
Please watch this video.
What to expect from the Program.
Kick-off sessions
Introduction Session
As you begin each course there will be a one hour presentation (interactive) to begin the thought process of how the topic of the course can enhance your skillset.
It is important that when we get together that it stimulates new conversations and thought processes.
Many of the topics we will share can be difficult to talk about, or to express to others. It can hinder the relationships because of our hiding or avoiding our inabilities.
These sessions will be entertaining and thought provoking.
Self-Directed Learning
Online Courses
You will gain access to our award-winning content. It is accessible via desktop, tablet or phone for ease of use.
Each course consists of two lessons.
Each lesson is approximately 45 minutes in length with self-reflection assignments or quizzes.
You will receive feedback on assignment submissions from your IGM Facilitator.
By having you complete the course prior to meeting with your IGM facilitator is allows you to have a baseline knowledge of the topic of the course.
Facilitated Sessions
Guided Conversations
Each course will be supported with facilitated conversations around the content and how it is applicable to you, your teammates and the environment.
It is imperative that you have completed the lessons prior to the supporting facilitation’s so you understand and can contribute to the conversation.
These sessions provide action stops of how to implement the learning objectives, both individually and collectively.
These events bring the team together, and begin to normalize what may have been difficult or awkward conversations and keep the team moving forward to a healthier more productive culture.
Much of what you will experience is a change in mindset; the programming is designed to help you achieve a new level of awareness and connection with your peers. It is a marvellous pairing.
This is a great video describing our Game-Changer program and what we will strive for over the time we work together. Habits determine the direction, and if we can change a bit, it can significantly impact you and those around you.
