Would you be interested in leadership training that frees up a full day of time and energy per week? — And what if the opportunity came at no cost to you or your organization?*
In this 6-month "Foundations of Effective People Management" course you'll learn the set of systemic coaching skills identified by Google in highest-performing managers. Join leaders from companies like Amazon, Meta, GE Healthcare, and SpaceX, who maximize performance.
This program is an intensive, interactive, 6-month experience. In the first 3 months, you'll learn active listening, stakeholder alignment, and accountability skills that you can apply right away. By the end of the full, 6-month program, you'll have mastered the fundamentals of managerial coaching and be ready to create and lead sustainable organizational optimization.
No project, or relationship, can survive misunderstanding. Learn conversational techniques to create crystal clarity in all of your agreements. Be the one person in the room who can get everyone on the same page, every time.
"Hearing" is a sense (like touch), but "listening" is a skill (like juggling). You will leave this month with the capacity to receive 2-300% more data from every conversation. Be described by your directs as "the first manager who actually listened to me."
What is an agreement without follow-through? Learn approaches and techniques for respectful, supportive two-way accountability that you can apply to virtually any circumstance. Bad managers demand results, great managers hold others to account.
Your ability to get results is dependent on your ability to work with others. Who holds power is not just about titles. How do you navigate internal politics to maximize relational power? Strong, well-built, trusting relationships yield big harvests. Here's how.
Building on your new-found relational know-how, you build a stakeholder roadmap. Now you can better navigate your organization's terrain. Avoid road-blocks and find short-cuts in your workplace reality. Be the one who knows the way and you'll always be asked to take the lead.
You've now cultivated the ability to effectively coach and influence others to produce extraordinary results in a trusting, thriving culture. Now what? The journey upward doesn't end here. Develop your inner coach. Nourish and scale a culture of constant learning in your team. Moving forward, even the sky isn't the limit.
Optimizing leadership skills integration with 4 primary development formats and 2 optional enhancers
A combination of videos, reading, and interactive exercises and assignments provide rich resources for learning and engaging with this cutting edge leadership content.
You'll practice the fundamentals of one or two key skills in guided break-out exercises and debriefs. Meet others facing the similar challenges and create a network of support.
Join no more than six peers in processing the application of new skills to actual, everyday situations. Participants often rate this as one of the most valuable parts of the learning.
Build a community of trusted advisors as you post your own managerial questions and share your wisdom. Life-long trusted networking partnerships start here.
Practice your skills with your own direct reports, peers, or stakeholders (at your discretion) via video recording, and receive specific feedback you can apply immediately.
Receive an hour of one-on-one coaching with an instructor to zero in on what might be holding you back and create your personalized action plan.
