training
It’s not traditional training. It’s learning…by practice.
You don’t know it until you’ve done it! This truth permeates the unique ‘practicum’ design behind all the training I do to ensure maximum learning. You can pay to learn how to do it or you can invest in actually doing it. All sessions are architected for practical experience and application, setting this approach apart from an “attend-and-put-on-a-shelf” workshop, “run-of-the-mill” classroom training, or “stagnant” conferences. The layer-by-layer approach accelerates learning with easily digestible “learn-and-use” bites, not simply disseminating information or theory. The coaching-training blended approach in a small group setting increases participation and accountability, driving ROI. By the time you complete a practicum, you will have done what it is intended for you to learn.

Today’s business landscape demands leaders be more than they’ve ever had to be before. There is a call for authenticity, vulnerability, empathy, and connection. The world is changing at lightning speed. Technology looms with uncertainty for future workforce security. Issues and concerns never faced by your predecessors now fall squarely on your shoulders. This practicum addresses all of these demands, crafting you into the SMART leader today’s business requires: Strategic, Mature, Agile, Reflective, and Teachable.
Jack Welch stated, “People who are coaches will be the norm. Other people won’t get promoted.” To be successful in today’s business environment, leaders must be adept at wearing two hats. When it comes to workforce growth and development, you must lean into a different skill set. Coaching conversations with your people are necessary, but they require you to take off your leader hat and put on a specific mindset and communication framework. In this practicum, you will build a powerful coaching skill set, learn to utilize assessment and profile tools to provide feedback and create well-defined development plans, and be empowered to inspire self-reliance in your people.
The inside-out leader is the “whole package” leader that today’s business and workforce demand. An immersion into leadership development combines the “Conscious Leadership” and “Leader-Coach” Practicums into a robust, dynamic, and transformative process for creating today’s leader. As a leader, you must first learn to lead yourself. From that place, you lead others powerfully and authentically. The ability to lead from within is highly sought after as organizations in every sector have witnessed increasing failures of integrity from leaders. There is a cry for leaders to have a strong internal compass. Invest in the personal effectiveness of the leaders in your organization and your effectiveness as a leader for today.
