Learning Programs
Developing Followership
Our flagship program for both new and seasoned leaders. Participants learn how to tell if they have genuine "followership" or not. And if not, how to get it and how to keep it. We cover skills such as giving feedback; reading mixed signals; bringing mixed signals into alignment; creating team operating practices; and being authentic, real, and transparent as a leader. These are skills essential to generating and sustaining followership.

Others, Creating Vision, Walking the Talk, and Generating Results. This
multi-phased program is delivered over the course of 9 months and strategically
combines robust assessments, learning labs, tools, intensive retreats,
and individual coaching. This is a powerhouse program designed to dramatically
increase and enhance an organization's bench strength.

Being a Leader
Bringing out the Best in self and others
This program focuses on the most powerful personal qualities (traits of character) that the leader brings to interactions with others. Based in the premise that "people respond primarily to the way that we feel about them and secondarily to our behavior towards them," this one-day seminar allows participants to create a powerful new relationship to their own leadership. Participants discover ways of BEING a leader, rather than merely "doing leadership". They learn to reliably bring out the best in themselves, each other, and their associates.

Building Trust and Alignment
Strengthening Communication and Conflict Resolution
Skills
A stand-alone or in combination with "Being a Leader", this course
gets at the heart of trust and communication issues. This is a learning
lab in which participants practice having courageous conversations about
real and current topics relevant to their work. We address difficult relationships,
entitlement, drama, and the elements that undermine positive team dynamics.
This experience will give your managers the skills to develop people and at the same time get the work done. This saves time and money and in our experience, the work gets done faster and to a higher standard because people have the tools and skills to work more effectively with people. Our clients have also told us on numerous occasions that this workshop is the most powerful team building experience they have ever had.

Train the Trainer
We will license, train, and certify your internal OD specialists or trainers to deliver our programs to your executives, managers, sales force, and other associates.
Many years of experience have taught us that "just doing training" rarely has the intended impact. Companies who enroll countless people into training classes that feel good at the time, but have little or no impact on the business waste millions of dollars each year. Our approach for success and "stickability" involves several phases of work, not just one that involves us coming in and doing the training for you. We know that to be cost effective, you will need internal trainers to spread the learning throughout your company. We will partner with you in making this process effective and powerful.
