Some of us are natural leaders, but even natural leaders need to fine-tune their style and discover new opportunities to bring out the best in the people they work with… and work for. Being a great leader is a goal that never stops evolving.

“A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential.” Brené Brown

Today’s employees require a different type of leader. Expectations, motivation and workforce needs have significantly changed. Is your leadership team prepared? You have the power to change for the better.

We help leaders create a culture that offers employees an experience they want to be part of. Leadership training helps new and existing leaders learn how to successfully deliver the corporate strategy and corporate culture that brings out the best in themselves and their team. Your team will learn and share:

1. Why trust matters and how to develop a culture of trust and respect (This is very important)

2. Core values… and what those values mean for each person (including our customers / clients)

3. How to lead with empathy and compassion

4. Importance of developing a shared a vision, shared values and a shared mission

5. How to embrace transparency

6. Tips when hiring for empathy and values first

7. Considerations when implementing hybrid work options (for your business, your employees and your clients)

8. What does employee well-being mean post-Covid and what are some employee well-being options

9. The importance of not just letting, but helping everyone be authentic and feel safe

10. How to quickly and confidently engage individuals… and teams (C.A.R.P.C.S.)

11. How to be a great mentor

12. How to be a great coach

13. The best ways to share praise and recognize greatness (and they are also zero-cost)

14. Provide feedback (positive feedback and constructive feedback)

15. How to have difficult conversations that build trust and respect

Leadership skills training is an investment, especially as more and more Millennials move into leadership roles.

"When you help your team trust you, believe in themselves and understand the value of their work, it's amazing what they accomplish." Bruce Mayhew

Great leaders inspire and align their team around a shared vision and common goals… they seek out people who have a passion for their work and a commitment to innovation & quality. And yet, leadership is a learned skill and virtually none of us are natural leaders. Leaders must be ‘Futurists’ always exploring and never resistant to the change, opportunities and unknowns that the future brings.

Today’s leaders need to be emotionally intelligent which means being self-aware and embracing empathy. Let us help you unlock your potential and connect it to what makes a leader successful.

The better the leader – the higher the employee engagement. 

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” 
― Simon Sinek

Perhaps you’ve been a successful leader but now feeling stuck... maybe even a bit frustrated. What if I asked you:

• "What are 10 important leadership traits?"

• "What are 4 of your best leadership traits?"

• What are the 15 things effective leaders do every day… and why?

If you can't answer you are with the majority of people in Leadership roles.

The most successful companies grow their leaders from within. And today, Millennials are your fastest growing population of leader potential. This is a great opportunity for companies. Millennials thrive in a learning culture, so use leadership training to develop quality, confident, engaged, loyal leaders who understand your business.

Attendees of our flexible and scalable leadership training will learn what leadership means in today’s busy business environment. This includes guiding them as they explore what it means to be a supportive, inspirational leader, and how to apply that knowledge to meet their goals.

Do you want to increase employee loyalty and productivity? Studies show that when employees feel they have:

• A poor leader... as many as 95% say they are considering quitting and employee engagement is low.

• A great leader... as many as 99% say they are not thinking about quitting and employee engagement is high. 

Our Approach To Your Success

Effective leadership increases employee loyalty, engagement and productivity. Our leadership training explore over 20 leadership styles / leadership traits and help participants recognize their strengths. 8 of the main strengths we explore are:

1. Business & Technical knowledge – understand the technology and/or how the business makes money. This does not have to be detailed knowledge.

2. Trust & Honesty – collaborating and being a good team member and building trusting relationships.

3. Vision & Core Values – helping employees see the future direction and sharing goals. This supports collaboration.

4. Rewards That Matter Most – Intrinsic rewards vs. Extrinsic rewards

5. Innovation & Education – the best leaders create an environment where people and the organization are encouraged to continuously learn / improve.

6. A Focus on Results – do what is necessary (a fair, respectful push), to make sure the goals are reached

7. Inspiration & Motivation (a pull) – gets people excited and passionate to want to deliver.

8. Care & Compassion - Knowing what is important to your employees - what their goals are

The best leaders usually have above average competency in one or even two of the above mentioned attributes. Imagine the engagement impact if they could strengthen just one more leadership skill.

Great Leaders Help People Feel Safe

Great leaders create an environment where employees are inspired, motivated and safe in today's fast-paced and ever changing environment. Great leaders help employees feel they share creative ideas without being judged; where they trust each other. Our core leadership training builds trust by aligning goals, objectives and a leaders approach to the mission, vision, values and goals so the whole team can make decisions that are always right for the company and each other.

Great Leaders Build A Team

Great leaders know their strengths and maximize them... then then build a team of other experts with the strengths they do not have.

Leadership Training Tips

Leadership Training Tip #1

Effective leadership requires our leaders explore and promote responsible change – within their client base, products & services and within their valued employees. Why? Because if you don't change you fall behind. Half the companies in the S&P500 today are different from the companies that were on it in 1999 (Source Sam Ro).

 Leadership Training Tip #2

To increase employee loyalty, leaders support their employee’s carriers – not their employee’s jobs. A career satisfies a persons long-term needs and personal / professional growth. A job only satisfies immediate needs. Ask employees what their career goals are and explore how to meet those goals together (shared responsibility); there are many non-monetary rewards a valued employee may be interested in which will increase employee loyalty.

Leadership Training Tip #3

Be mindful to treat each moment with empathy and compassion… for yourself and others upon your pursuit of clear, definable and shared organizational goals. Leaders build trust by inspiring, motivating and trusting valued employees.
