Adaptive Leadership

Self-awareness of who you are, your natural tendencies, and how others experience you as a leader is critical to being an effective leader. Use the S.O.S. model to determine when your natural style may not produce your intended results and when you might need to adapt to have a more positive effect with those you work with.

Giving Feedback

One of the hardest things we do as leaders is give feedback – and especially constructive (aka negative) feedback – to others. That’s because we often tell ourselves stories about how the other person is going to react and get scared of that negative reaction. If we are genuine and authentic in our approach and deliver the feedback at the right time and in the right circumstances though, then giving feedback can actually be a gift that keeps on giving.

Not everybody likes change. In fact, most people don’t. They see it as scary or different or perhaps taking away their personal control by changing what they currently do so well.

Performance Improvement

As an individual, it’s critical to continually assess how we are doing and what we might want to do differently to produce even better results in the future.

Strategic Planning

Have you ever conducted a SWOT analysis? SWOT analyses and other approaches like this are based on looking over your shoulder at where you’ve been rather than guiding you based on your ideal future state. We recommend a proven approach for planning your future from the future, identifying your strategic “lighthouse” goals and then breaking those long-term objectives down into more manageable and achievable micro-goals.

Innovation

Many business owners and leaders have what they think is a great idea and immediately try to implement it.

That’s why we created a more complete framework to guide your innovation efforts.

Productivity Management

How many To Do lists do you have? How often do you get to those lower priority items at the bottom of the list?

If your answer is while multi-tasking during group conference calls, then you need to learn these strategies to manage your priorities more effectively.

I’m a big fan of “Take Your Child to Work Day”. I’m even an advocate for creating family-friendly cultures at work and treating everyone like family.

Group Coaching

While it may seem counter-intuitive, group coaching may in fact be better than more traditional one-on-one executive coaching techniques. One-on-one coaching puts the role of “expert” on to the executive coach. There is tremendous power in the group though. When facilitated successfully, group coaching and using a model of peer support can be extremely effective and offer great value to individual leaders.

Performance Management

People often think of performance management as that thing they have to do at the end of every year for HR.

The culmination of the performance management process is the annual performance review. Learn the core components of effective performance reviews and more specifically understand what they are and what they aren’t!

Managing Performance with a Remote Workforce Webinar Highlights

People often think of performance management as that thing they do for HR at the end of the year so people can qualify for their bonuses. While that may be part of the process, performance management is not just a once-a-year HR task!

Multi-Generation High-Performance Families Webinar Highlights

It’s safe to say all families want to be high-performance families and create lasting legacies from one generation to the next. Not all families are able to achieve this intention though. Up to 90% of all families lose their wealth by their 3rd generation. Nearly 90% of all family businesses also disappear by their 3rd generation. After all, money alone does not bring happiness to family leaders or their NextGen children! So what does it take to be a multi-generation, high-performance family and not become one of these statistics?
