Leadership Programs |
We custom design programs to help leaders think beyond the box in core areas critical for effective leadership. They are offered as individual workshops or bundled into a customized multi-month program. Click here to see an example of a 6-month program. Our workshops infuse creative thinking in core areas of leadership development such as:
 |
Change Management | |
|

|
Creativity and Innovation | |
|

|

Stress Management |
All workshops can leverage existing investments in self-assessment results (e.g., MBTI, HBDI) or offer assessments as needed to maximize the impact of the experience.
Examples of workshops include:
First, Know Yourself
The first rule of effective leadership is to have a solid foundation for self-awareness and continuous reflection for growth. This workshop equips leaders with tools for exploring and building strengths while learning strategies for managing possible blind spots.
Creative Communication: Telling Stories for Success
Stories are a powerful means to inspire and communicate. This workshop helps leaders develop their own unique approach for telling stories that effectively convey memorable messages rich with meaning and imagery.
Workshops can be custom designed to include core areas of leadership development including:
The one certainty leaders will face is change. Our workshops show leaders how to apply creativity and positive thinking to the process of change management to energize forward momentum. Leaders learn about how different personality types react to change as well as potential sources of conflict during the process.
Is the message sent the same as the message received? Effective communication is essential in all aspect of leadership. Our workshops give leaders creative tools such as storytelling, metaphor and collage to enhance communication and reduce conflicts resulting from misunderstandings.
The ability to innovate is essential for organizations to maintain competitiveness and growth in today's rapidly changing world, and today's leaders need to be equipped to manage this process. Our workshops prepare leaders to effectively manage the steps required for moving a creative idea through the pipeline to become a value-added innovation.
Relationship Building
Having strong relationships with followers is often cited as one of the most important elements of effective leadership. Our workshops help leaders explore the essential elements of trust, credibility and integrity in forming and maintaining strong relationships.
A sense of self awareness lies at the core of effective leadership. By first becoming aware of one's own strengths and preferences, leaders can more effectively understand the differences of others and inspire them to reach for a common goal. Our workshops help leaders gain meaningful insights through assessments, reflection and other thought provoking tools.
Leaders face a potentially overwhelming barrage of demands from many different directions. Continuous levels of high stress are known to have disastrous effects such as reduced effectiveness and increased errors. This workshop empowers leaders to take control by developing creative and effective plans to manage work-related stress.
