What role does learning and assessment play in your leader development process?
We work with you to design and facilitate leadership skills development solutions that combine learning, activity, and assessment to meet your specific needs. Courses can be delivered virtually and in-person. Our most requested workshops include:
Emotional Intelligence
Introduces participants to core concepts and elements that make up emotional intelligence. Questions explored and answered include: What is Emotional Intelligence? Why makes Emotional Intelligence important? How can it be improved? Learners expand insight into self-awareness and emotional self-management components though a EQi 2.0 assessment, case studies, peer coaching activity, and personal development planning.
Managing Difficult Conversations
Provides learners with wider perspectives and actionable techniques for applying Emotional Intelligence to build skill in managing difficult conversations. Successful conversations about difficult topics - or with challenging people - is a core requirement of professional success at any level. Avoidance of difficult topics and challenging people often leads to disfunction and lower performance.
Leading Through Change
Explores how change impacts people, team and organizations. Instead of focusing on tactical change management processes and tools, learners gain a wider view on the emotional, cognitive, and performance impacts of change on people and systems. By looking at how change impacts the work ecosystem, leaders and employees are better able to anticipate, lead, and ride the rollercoaster of change.
Your Leadership Brand
How can you more easily connect and communicate with followers? What behavioral insights might help you achieve your goals and form lasting alliances with clients, partners and peers? With the DISC profiler as a baseline, participants learn about how their preferences and mindsets shape their leadership brand. Clarifying their values and the “leader flags” they choose to fly helps focus and even reshape their brand.
Influence: Authority, Connection, and Impact
Our ability to “influence” is one of the most powerful facilities needed as leaders and followers. Truly effective influence doesn’t rely on the power of positional authority. Instead, it requires us to create a certain level of trust, presence, and relationship, as we adapt to different people, their needs, and situations. Using research-based frameworks, participants examine their current influence style and explore new techniques and tools to build and improve their presence and ability to influence.
Building High Performing Teams
Introduces learners to best practices and strategies for building and leading high performing teams. Learners are introduced to several assessment models of team performance, team development stages and a simple tool for aligning team efforts. Key differences between leading traditional (co-located) and virtual teams are also explored.
