Preparing Leaders For The Future of Work

No matter the industry or size, corporations and organizations are looking at leadership differently, unlike any other time in our past.


Today's competitive and ever-changing business landscape requires that leaders have a solid executive-level mindset, presence, and approach. They must be fully engaged, consistently focused, and highly articulate to create impact and achieve results.


However, being at the top of today's corporate ladder requires more than just high intellect, hard work, and dedication. Career sustainability comes from:

Today's competitive and ever-changing business landscape requires that leaders have a solid executive-level mindset, presence, and approach. They must be fully engaged, consistently focused, and highly articulate to create impact and achieve results.


However, being at the top of today's corporate ladder requires more than just high intellect, hard work, and dedication. Career sustainability comes from:

  • generating a shared vision that others willingly follow,
  • guiding and maximizing the efforts of others toward that vision, 
  • and facilitating collaborative thinking & problem-solving to enhance productivity and drive business success. 

So what does this mean for today's leaders? 

It means they must be experts at navigating the needs of people. They must know how to communicate effectively and lead collaboratively to maximize their impact.


And this is where I come in. Whether it is an intimate training program or a conference keynote with thousands of attendees, you'll find that my programs are designed to help today's leaders combine soft skills with hard skills to transform their interpersonal leadership effectiveness and successfully navigate their professional landscape.


I firmly believe today's leaders must drive their own destinies, and I help by preparing them to be resilient leaders who rely on their strength, wisdom, and self-confidence to shape and elicit positive outcomes while reaching their highest level of interpersonal leadership effectiveness.

Collaborative Leadership Strategies for Managing Complex Teams & Projects

Collaborative Leadership Strategies for Managing Complex Teams & Projects

Back in the day, command and control was an accepted leadership style, and standard practice was that departments worked in silos with little communication or cooperation among them. No more. Today, effective executives recognize that a team-centric approach that cultivates engagement, empowerment, participatory decision-making, and accountability gets the best results.

Key Takeaways

During this workshop, leaders receive tools for mastering five essential skills for a more collaborative leadership approach: trust, transparency, communication, inclusion, and openness.

Your leaders learn how to:

  1. 1
    establish the mindset and qualities of a collaborative leader
  2. 2
    nurture group cohesion while avoiding the pitfalls of groupthink
  3. 3
    design and facilitate effective group information sharing and decision-making

Learn to Lead Without Formal Authority

Learn to Lead Without Formal Authority

Leading others outside our authority is entirely possible, and people do it all the time. The goal of leadership without authority is to get others to willingly engage rather than just follow directives. During this training, I show participants how to lead initiatives and get results from people who don't report to them.

Key Takeaways

During this training, your leaders:

  1. 1
    learn key steps for cultivating relationships and gaining trust throughout the entire organization
  2. 2
    gain interpersonal skills that are necessary for influencing, impacting, and inspiring others
  3. 3
    receive key strategies for engaging and maximizing the efforts of others

Support, Influence, and Drive Organizational Change

Support, Influence, and Drive Organizational Change

When leaders identify a need for organizational change, they and the organization must be agile and able to adapt rapidly. Developing new ideas, plans, processes, or structures is not the hard part. The people side of change is what is complicated. Although aversion to change is normal, leaders still need to generate support and commitment and act quickly.

Key Takeaways

Leaders in this workshop, learn how to:

  1. 1
    get in step with change quickly and create a growth mindset for themselves and other staff
  2. 2
    establish trust and gain the confidence of others when proposing change
  3. 3
    generate support and move staff into positive engagement with proposed changes
  4. 4
    mitigate fears and uncertainty to remove roadblocks and address internal conflict and resistance

Master Executive-Level Decision Making

Master Executive-Level Decision Making

Decisions are one of any leader's most important responsibilities. Too often, though, leaders at all levels view decision-making as a task to be completed rather than a systematic process to be followed. As a result, decisions are made too quickly without adequate information or assessment or made too slowly, creating delays and analysis paralysis.

Key Takeaways

During this training, leaders explore their most natural thinking style, discover the type of decision-maker they are, and assess their decision-making instincts to avoid the errors most commonly made by executives.

In addition, your leaders will:

  1. 1
    examine collaborative decision-making methods and how to facilitate them with confidence
  2. 2
    learn techniques for cultivating constructive debate, including how to use inquiry versus advocacy decision processes
  3. 3
    leave with an easy-to-digest process to help their teams make important decisions quickly and easily

Level Up Your Questioning Skills to Coach and Lead With Brilliance

Level Up Your Questioning Skills to Coach and Lead With Brilliance

Questioning is an often overlooked but uniquely powerful tool for unlocking communication and collaboration. It spurs the exchange of ideas while fueling performance improvement and strengthening trust among team members. It's too bad that few of us have been trained in the communication art of questioning. Fortunately, questioning is a skill that leaders can hone to enhance participation, support, and collaboration with both team members and stakeholders.

Key Takeaways

During this workshop, leaders learn how to:

  1. 1
    sequence and frame questions for optimum impact
  2. 2
    use techniques to avoid others becoming defensive or feeling like they're being cross-examined
  3. 3
    harness the proven power of calibrated questions to:
  • challenge the thinking of others
  • help others find their own solutions and problem-solve more effectively
  • thoughtfully guide discussions in ways that elicit useful information and better inform project decisions

Cultivate Solid Relationships and Strong Allies Inside and Outside Your Organization

Cultivate Solid Relationships and Strong Allies Inside and Outside Your Organization

Deepening their network of internal and external partners is critical to a leader's ability to excel and elevate in their career. Establishing relationships with and enhancing their visibility among the right people ensures they have access to business intelligence, valuable strategic connections, and professional growth opportunities.

Key Takeaways

In this workshop, your leaders learn how to establish and leverage business relationships to enhance their visibility, influence, and impact while anchoring their value in the minds of others. I address who to have relationships with and provide practical and actionable strategies for cultivating those relationships and transitioning them into strategic partners and allies.


New Leader Jumpstart: Moving from Individual Contributor to Emerging Leader

New Leader Jumpstart: Moving from Individual Contributor to Emerging Leader

One of the biggest mistakes new leaders make is assuming the skills that got them promoted are the skills they’ll use in their new leadership role. Nothing could be further from the truth.

As an individual contributor, it’s easy to work independently; you’re in control of the work you complete. When you get great results through diligence, knowledge, and technical expertise, you’re rewarded and sometimes even promoted. That’s NOT the job of a leader, however, which is why it’s so difficult to go from individual contributor to first-time leader.

A leader’s primary focus is getting work done with and through others. Your role is about your ability to guide others to accomplish the work. This leap can feel enormous, especially if you have limited experience supervising others, yet with the proper framework, awareness, and training, you can do it successfully, standing out as a leader just as you did as an individual contributor.

Key Takeaways

New leaders learn how to:

  1. 1
    make the critical mindset shift from individual contributor to successful leader
  2. 2
    build relationships and teamwork based on trust
  3. 3
    become a deep and powerful listener for greater influence and impact
  4. 4
    leverage the power of questions to lead and coach more effectively
  5. 5
    coach and develop team members to ensure high performance

Executive Presence: What It Is and How You Get It

Executive Presence: What It Is and How You Get It

There's a new normal that is alive and well in executive meeting rooms across the country. It's those decision-makers with an "it" factor called Executive Presence. While it may seem they naturally possess this presence that influences others and gets things done, more than likely, they've worked hard to develop it. And the good news is your leaders can achieve it too! Whether it's gaining needed cooperation, building relationships, or motivating others, demonstrating executive presence calls for acquired skills.

Key Takeaways

During this high-energy, interactive session, I provide practical guidance on how to develop the mindset needed to exude Executive Presence for your leaders' benefit and those they lead. I deconstruct the components of Executive Presence and explain how to develop, nurture, and use them to break through to the authoritative place your leaders need to be.
