Get real about
what's below the surface of leadership
Most leadership development uses a cookie-cutter approach
to teach what leaders should do and how to do it.
We do something different.
You Know Sam...
...a leader who needs to give feedback but avoids it.
Sam participates in a feedback training and gets taught a three-stage model (it is always three, isn't it?) about how to give feedback.
Sam goes back to their day-to-day and ....
...still doesn't give feedback.
This isn't because they don't know a model.
There's a deeper cause. Sam sees feedback as a form of conflict and something that puts them at risk of being disliked. That's why they don't do it.
First, we help Sam better understand who Sam is....
and the habits they've picked up as a leader. They then choose what to keep and what to change and how they can give feedback in a way that feels true to them.
Second, we teach Sam practical techniques....
to make their feedback conversations effective.
Third, we build in support so the learning sticks....
because behavior change isn’t a one and done. Forming new habits happens over time, through on-the-job practice and feedback.
Sam now gives feedback.
We focus on the leader first,
who they are and why they do what they do,
so they can make conscious choices to approach leadership
in a way that feels good and does good.
Awareness
Ownership
Action
People = Results = People
Aware and authentic leaders empower people to drive better results that positively impact business and life.
To achieve this, we start with two foundational topics:
The Conversations Leaders Avoid
We create experiences for leaders to explore and master the conversations they avoid, like feedback, conflict resolution, and sharing an unpopular message.
Authenticity In Leadership
By understanding the drivers behind their choices and the factors that influence their leadership, leaders can make conscious choices that best suit them and the team.
