Leadership Development and Training

The Truth of Leading Others

""
Start here to give your leaders a chance to discover the most effective leadership habits needed at any level. “The Truth of Leading Others” is a unique learning experience that will change the way you lead.

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

""
It’s totally normal to avoid bringing up difficult issues or addressing problem behavior at work. But those types of issues rarely go away or improve on their own.
Do you need to have a conversation but…

  • You don’t know how to start it?
  • You’re afraid to hurt someone’s feelings?
  • You want to make sure your point comes across the right way?

In this course, participants will get:

  • An awareness of what makes tough conversations so tough.
  • Important insights on the psychology of confrontation that will help them stay calm and clear when others deflect or get defensive.
  • Fundamental interaction skills – from mindset to tactics.
  • Conversation prep tools that will set them up to identify and address the real issue.
  • Insight on the habits that undermine effectiveness in a tough conversation.
  • Increased confidence in having a tough conversation and balancing the often conflicting needs of a complex and changing workplace.
