LEAD Programs
LEAD programs are offered as half-day or full-day seminars, curriculum based multi-day programs and organizational meetings and retreats. Program topics include:
Emotional Maturity and the Workplace
Emotional maturity encompasses self-awareness, responsibility and regulation, meaningfully connecting with others and managing complex decisions. This seminar provides participants with the tools to evaluate their own maturity and a framework for how they conduct themselves in personal and professional settings.
Systems Thinking and the Focus on Self
People contribute to the overall functioning of the personal and professional systems with which they are a part. This seminar identifies how people can influence – and be influenced by – others. Participants develop strategies for improving their role and contributions in their professional systems.
Promoting Accountability
When people do things for others that others can or should be doing for themselves, who benefits? Is this helpful? How does this impact productivity, skill development and authenticity? The seminar answers these questions and participants learn how to strategically hold themselves (and others) to higher standards of accountability.
Managing Three-Person Relationships (Triangles)
When two people are in a relationship, it is predictable that a third person (i.e. supervisor, friend) will eventually be introduced into the relationship, thus forming a relationship triangle. This seminar identifies predictable behavioral patterns and provides participants with strategies for responsibly managing themselves in these three-person relationships.
Building Strong Connections
Research tells us that people are happier and healthier when they have meaningful connections with others. This influences how people engage with colleagues and clients or customers, thus contributing to the overall well being of the organization. This seminar provides participants with the tools to strategically build strong(er) connections with key people in both their professional and personal lives.
Evaluating Beliefs and Assumptions
Beliefs can be unfounded and adopted without consideration of their accuracy and/or alignment with one’s thinking. For example, many believe that “perception is reality” yet this is not always correct. This seminar examines automatic thinking and assumptions. Participants learn to evaluate the accuracy of both via curiosity, questions and reflections.
Self-Regulation and Anxiety Management
Responses to anxieties (i.e. stressors, challenges) can negatively impact a person more than the anxiety itself. This seminar examines patterns of anxiety and how they present themselves in both the individual and organizational systems. Participants learn strategies for understanding the functions of anxiety and how to regulate their responses to it.
Emotional Courage and Delivering Difficult Messages
Not delivering a difficult message is an example of low emotional courage. This seminar identifies the benefits of avoiding avoidance and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Participants learn how to skillfully deliver difficult messages with kindness, respect and directness.
High Value Coaching
Delivering high value coaching is essential for the growth and development of your employees and organization. This seminar provides a framework of the coaching process and teaches participants how to skillfully coach others with maturity, clarity, accountability and responsibility.
