Leadership Development and Training
The Truth of Leading Others
The Truth of Leading Others is a learning experience that invites leaders at any level to discover the most effective leadership habits that drive high performance and employee engagement throughout your organization.
The multi-week course is designed as a series of three, 3-hour live sessions followed by hands-on practice. But don’t expect to practice with case studies, role-plays, or gratuitous projects. We don’t believe in inventing pretend work that lacks real emotion when there is plenty of opportunity to practice in real life, with real people and real emotion.
Live session topics:
- Stepping Back: Challenges participants to tame their need to control and learn to create an environment where employees can perform at their best.
- Quality Conversations: Examines the essential leadership behaviors that create quality conversations in any situation – from tough accountability conversations to interactions that spark innovative thinking.
- Coaching Performance: Teaches leaders the game-changing techniques and mindsets of successful professional coaches, modified for the realities of the role of a leader.
Following each 3-hour live session, participants are given two “experiments” to conduct back on the job, using the skills learned in the session. Learner accountability is created with a program requirement to submit “results” of the experiments to the program facilitator who will provide individual, written feedback and custom insights to create deeper understanding of the concepts.
Course participant comments:
“I’ve been through a lot of leadership training and The Truth of Leading Others is the best I’ve ever experienced.”
“The Truth of Leading Others introduced me to important aspects of leading I had never considered before. It changed how I lead.”
Conversations that Move People Forward
Through everyday conversations with employees, leaders can inspire or stifle performance, create or kill accountability, and make or break the employee experience. This course teaches leaders to turn conversations into a powerful foundation of their leadership.
QUESTION: What do these two concepts have in common?
- Motivation that engages an employee and accelerates productivity
- Frustration that disengages an employee and slows productivity
ANSWER: They are both possible outcomes of a conversation with their leader
In a one-day, in-person session, participants can expect to learn surprising insights and skills that drive connection and enable potential, including:
- The four substantive skills of all effective conversations – from brief hallway conversations to giving tough feedback
- Three core coaching practices that can shift everyday conversations into powerful performance builders
- A progressive approach to holding others accountable that really works
- Insights on the psychology of confrontation that will enable a calm and clear approach when others deflect or get defensive
