LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

 Let's be honest:
It's important that managers don't suck.

Leaders have a tremendous impact on your organization...for better or worse. Effectively equipped, they engage employees and set the stage for greater morale, collaboration, creativity, and productivity. In fact, decades of research show that skilled management is essential to the overall health and vitality of an organization.

Part of our mission is to develop highly skilled, authentic, compassionate, effective leaders who know how to build morale, provide accountability, get stuff done, and build effective relationships with their people based on trust and respect.

Our leadership and management development practices have produced high-quality, sustainable outcomes for over two decades. Just ask our clients.

We hear things like that all the time, but we don’t let it go to our heads. We know there’s a lot we don’t know, so we’re constantly learning new ways to help organizations achieve greatness through our leadership development work.

How do we do it? Primarily in four ways: one-on-one coaching, our signature Managing with Mind & Heart workshop series, executive team Common Commitments, and leadership retreats. Keep scrolling for more information about each.

Managing With Mind & Heart Workshop Series

For over two decades our signature workshop series, “Managing with Mind and Heart,” and the sustainability efforts both before and after, have been instrumental in helping leadership teams and organizations achieve sustained improvement through the consistent practice of best-practice management skills. (“The Top 15 Management Skills”)

Even more, we bring the workshops to you, whether in-person or through a remote platform. Our workshops are interactive, engaging, extremely practical, and customizable for your organization's specific needs, including the nuances of on-site, remote and hybrid work environments. Your leaders and managers will walk away with dozens of ready-to-use sustainable management skills. We promise.

And to help ensure sustainability, we often return to organizations 12-24 months following our Managing with Mind and Heart series with our Phase 2 workshop series, in which we creatively review and deep dive into the most important skills and concepts from the initial workshop series, learn some new best-practice management skills, engage in some troubleshooting and fine-tuning, and review and reimagine sustainability, all custom-fit to your organization.

See our Workshops page for a closer look at the content of our “Managing with Mind and Heart” leadership development series.

And another thing: Combining this workshop series with executive team development, one-on-one coaching, and employee engagement workshops is a fantastic way to create positive, systemic, sustained culture change!

*We are happy to tailor our workshops to fit your needs, budget, and time frame. We can offer the entire range of workshops to manager groups over several months or deliver them a la carte in a combination and quantity that best suits your needs.  

One-on-One Coaching

Whether one-on-one or group coaching, we collaborate with leaders to help them achieve their goals, become more skilled managers/leaders, find specific workplace-related solutions, increase their effectiveness, build greater trust and respect with others, and avoid burnout, stagnation, and boredom. And, of course, as leaders become more centered, confident, and skilled, they bring to their organizations higher morale, greater health and vibrancy, and more sustainable positive change.

Leadership Retreats

Retreat settings offer a much-needed break from the day-to-day work environment and can allow a group to focus much more of their attention and energy on the task at hand, whether that be learning best-practice management skills, creating common commitments, engaging in team-building, revising a mission statement and creating a set of organizational values, or dealing with a particular organizational roadblock.

We collaborate with you to create a retreat experience for your group that precisely fits your needs, your culture, and your goals.
