Our program is an intensive, people-first, three-month experience. You'll learn active listening, stakeholder alignment, and accountability skills that you can apply right away.
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.
Optimize leadership skills integration
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.
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.
Here's what's folks are saying about our leadership programs ...
Knowledgeable, thorough, thoughtful, and supportive.
... brings it all. ... doesn’t miss! ... thoughtful and energetic connector.”
Management techniques, strategic planning, conflict resolution, and more has been an invaluable asset.
