• Lead People Better - Everything DiSC® Management

  In a recent study of management perceptions 47% of respondents said, “My manager enhances my job satisfaction and work quality.” Unfortunately, 53% said “My manager either diminishes or does not contribute to my job satisfaction or my work quality.”
  
  Managing effectively means moving from a “one size fits all” management approach to providing direction, motivation, and development in a way that aligns with each individual.
  
  The most successful managers read the needs of their employees and adapt their style accordingly. These are important skills that can be developed with the Everything DiSC® Management Profile and Workshop.
  
  Managers first learn about their own management preferences. Next, Everything DiSC Management teaches managers how to understand how each DiSC style likes to work, what motivates them, and how to identify areas where the people they manage have strong potential and areas where they may face obstacles.

• Accelerating Success - Get up to speed quickly when taking on a new leadership role.

  We call this short program “Accelerating Success” and it focuses exclusively on getting everyone through the learning curves quickly, and functioning as a high-performance team.
  
  We help the leader quickly get to know their team – the individuals, the issues and the obstacles, along with the team getting to know the leader – their priorities , their idiosyncrasies and their style — things that usually take months to learn – all in a couple days. We explore issues that come up with the team around clients, goals, plans, teamwork, leadership styles and communication. As one of our clients described it “they helped us get all the “BS” that no one wanted to talk about out onto the table quickly, efficiently and diplomatically, so we could deal with it, answer questions, squelch concerns and rumours, and get on with being a motivated and successful team.”
  
  We help the team start having “essential conversations” based on trust and open, honest dialogue designed to enhance relationship

• Essential Conversations - Learn how to deal with conflict AND improve relationships.

  Essential Conversations are any conversation between two or more people where the stakes are high and “agree to disagree” is not an option. A leader’s life is filled with them:
  •Confronting staff about on performance or misbehavior;
  •Misalignment with peers;
  •Struggles with the board or boss;
  •Negotiation with clients and stakeholders, and
  • So many others.

• Executive Coaching & Leadership Coaching

  We use our intuition, deep active listening and experience to ask curious and powerful questions. We coach our clients to notice self-perceived limits and see different perspectives, so that they can break through their own hurdles and achieve things they didn’t know they could achieve. And, we hold our clients accountable throughout the coaching process. We help the client to find solutions that suit them and help them figure out how to implement those solutions.
  We are committed to change that is transformative. When people are able to understand themselves and how the world sees them, they discover more authentic, creative and resourceful ways of creating fulfilling lives and vibrant workplaces.
  You will not only move forward in your career success but deepen your learning in the process. By achieving that deeper learning about yourself, you help others grow around you and advance the success of the whole organization.
