Leadership Development
COACHING CONVERSATIONS:
A practical, positive approach supporting others to aspire and achieve.
Finding our way through myriad options of professional life takes self-awareness, goal orientation, improvisation, and support. In this interactive workshop, you will explore a process of coaching others that helps them move from insight to action.
LEAD WITH OUR STRENGTHS
The way we do work is changing: It’s more creative, more collaborative and faster-paced than ever before — and we struggle to keep up. The good news is that managers and employees want to learn and grow. Based on the Gallup CliftonStrengths®, this interactive half-day workshop supports team members to learn a shared Strengths-based language and development approach. They gain personal insight and effectively relate to one another, harness the power of productive conflict, and increase group cohesion. Strengths-based development immediately changes team conversations. It creates more positive dialogue and boosts the team's overall engagement and performance.
THE VOICE OF LEADERSHIP
This one-day experiential course explores the meaning and value of authentic voice—the foundation of effective leadership. You will learn a framework for understanding the role of voice in mobilizing people to tackle tough problems, and its impact on your success as a leader on teams and within your organization.

Collaborative problem solving offers individuals and teams a common language and approach for addressing difficult issues early.

Storytelling
STORIES THAT LEAD: Claiming your power to lead at work and in your life

STORIES THAT ENGAGE: Shaping workplace culture one story at a time
Our workplace is perfectly organized to give us the results we are currently experiencing. Without awareness, our natural story-telling talents can create a toxic culture of drama and dysfunction. But with intent, we can shape stories that build trust and engagement.
