Need a tailored training program? We do that.

Leadership Strategic Planning Session

  • Up to 10 Participants
  • 4–6 HOURS
  • PRIMER, AGENDA, & RECAP DOCUMENTS

Your leadership team is the foundation of your business. Our approach to strategic planning is built on having productive, and sometimes difficult, conversations that surface truth so that teams can make better decisions together. We start with visioning to understand where the organization intends to go. Next, we closely examine your team's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Lastly, we leverage the outcomes of those conversations to create a plan that is aligned with your vision and builds on your strengths and opportunities.

Large Team Strategic Planning Session

  • UP TO 20 PARTICIPANTS
  • 4–6 HOURS
  • PRIMER, AGENDA, & RECAP DOCUMENTS

Managing strategy sessions with a large team is challenging. Luckily, we've got lots of practice. To ensure your team can focus on what matters during the session, we will gather data in advance of the session on your organization's current situation and long-term goals. We will then present those findings to your team to create alignment on the greatest opportunities available to the organization. Then, we'll break your team into groups and support each group in creating clear goals for each opportunity. We will then support the groups in creating plans to execute those goals.

Setting a Management Foundation

  • UP TO 15 PARTICIPANTS
  • 90–120 MINUTES
  • HANDOUT OR PROGRAM BOOKLET

Learning to be an effective manager means mastering a number of critical skills (e.g., communication, delegation, goal-setting) that require some intention, focus, and practice. But, as new managers begin to work through each of these fundamental abilities, they often lack a comprehensive management framework (i.e., “this is how I manage my team”) that can be used as a guiding approach in their day-to-day interactions.

Effective Communication

  • UP TO 15 PARTICIPANTS
  • 90–120 MINUTES
  • HANDOUT OR PROGRAM BOOKLET

Communication is the lifeblood of all good organizations. Sharing critical information, creating clarity among team members, setting compelling vision(s) for the future, managing and leading people, and navigating interpersonal differences all require that members of your organization communicate effectively. But communication, like any skill, requires training and practice, and most organizations don’t do enough to help their people be better communicators.

Delegation & Accountability

  • UP TO 15 PARTICIPANTS
  • 90–120 MINUTES
  • HANDOUT OR PROGRAM BOOKLET

Great managers take time to understand their capacity, determine and maintain their priorities while delegating to others, and implement a clear and consistent accountability system that lets their teams know what success looks like. Yet, many managers struggle to delegate tasks and are often challenged to have tough, expectation-based conversations with their team members.

Cultivating a Culture of Engagement

  • UP TO 15 PARTICIPANTS
  • 90–120 MINUTES
  • HANDOUT OR PROGRAM BOOKLET

This workshop looks at the concepts that define engagement and the organizational levers most likely to influence those elements. We unpack important concepts like motivation, satisfaction, and commitment, and work through key organizational systems and processes (e.g., performance reviews, nourishing community) that are likely to yield great results for your team.

Managing Across Generations

  • UP TO 15 PARTICIPANTS
  • 90–120 MINUTES
  • HANDOUT OR PROGRAM BOOKLET

Today’s managers encounter more significant gaps in generational preferences than their predecessors. As Baby Boomers leave the workforce, Millennials and Get Z-ers bring new expectations and behaviors into the workplace. Managing these generational differences presents a unique challenge to even the best managers, and understanding the critical differences among these populations is essential to success.

Let’s Have an Argument

  • UP TO 15 PARTICIPANTS
  • 90–120 MINUTES
  • HANDOUT OR PROGRAM BOOKLET

Arguments can be a powerful tool for mutually developing truth and finding optimal solutions in your organization. This workshop is designed to help participants understand, at a fundamental level, what makes a great argument, traits of common argumentation styles, the warning signs of an unhealthy argument, and strategies for cultivating and facilitating healthy arguments among their team members.
