leading on purpose

Leading On Purpose
(Ideal for managers and future leaders)

 

If you feel like being a great people leader has become more challenging, you’re not alone. The relationship people have with work is changing, and so are expectations of managers. With five generations in the workplace, it was already challenging to meet varying needs and expectations.

Now, the global pandemic has blurred lines between work and personal responsibilities as many people continue to work from home. Workloads are increasing and employee stress is at an all-time high, affecting personal well-being and engagement. As people are becoming more introspective, more employees are questioning their values and wondering if the lives they’ve worked so hard to create are still what they want.

Do you have the tools to lead in this new landscape? Are you at risk of losing valuable members of your team to quiet quitting or what they perceive as greener pastures?

In Leading On Purpose, leaders will be guided through a series of exercises, case studies, polls, and conversation designed to build self-awareness while illuminating what’s working, what’s not working, and what new skills need to be developed to experience a breakthrough. After attending the session, leaders will walk away empowered with the right mindset to effectively lead in dynamic environments, new tools to grow themselves and their teams, and a practical path to raise their overall leadership impact

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn how to effectively manage change.
  • Develop mindset shifts and specific behaviors that can strengthen your impact as a leader.
  • Build authentic relationships that are rooted in trust to shift behaviors and stimulate action.

*Sessions can be customized to address your organization’s specific challenges and priorities.

Building authentic confidence

 

Building Authentic Confidence

(Ideal for individual contributors, new managers and employee resource group events)

 

 

 

Confidence is defined as “a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s own abilities and qualities.” But for some, the fear of making a mistake or the nagging question of whether you have what it takes lingers no matter how talented or experienced you are.

In this power-packed, introspective session, Personal Brand Strategist and Author Isha Cogborn will unpack imposter syndrome and self-doubt, while looking at what it’s costing you professionally.

We’ll explore:

  • The role of your inner critic and how to disarm it.
  • Repeatable exercises to help you address the fear of failure (and success.)
  • How to identify and address legitimate gaps that can hinder your career progression.

After participating in this workshop, you’ll walk away with practical strategies to build authentic confidence so you can get out of your own way when it comes to advancing your career and making more meaningful contributions.

Communications Intensives

(Ideal for leaders, managers, subject-matter experts, high-potential or externally facing employees, and company ambassadors.) 

  • Are you constantly calling on the same subject-matter experts and leaders every time you need a great speaker?
  • Do you need to diversify the ambassadors sharing the organization’s story, externally and in company meetings?
  • Would you like to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for leaders and high-potential employees to become more effective speakers on multiple platforms?

These expert-led intensives will help participants develop practical skills to deliver their message with more authority, confidence and enthusiasm. Our classes allow participants to find their own style versus forcing them into formulaic archetypes.
