Leading through trust requires different skill sets and mindsets than leading through fear. Rewards and punishment are no longer the chosen tools in the toolkit.
What's challenging is not the new concepts, but breaking through the cultural conditioning that we have all experienced and transforming the fear-based behaviors that still live in us. These can be measured as "personal entropy": the amount of fear-driven energy that a person expresses in his or her day-to-day interactions with other people. The good news is that even the smallest of steps forward can have a large impact on the quality of your leadership.

* for those workshops without a link to a detailed description, contact us for more information Training FrameworkOur intention in facilitating these workshops is to support you in having an impact on how you are showing up in the workplace. We have found that the likelihood of impact is much higher when the participant (a) prepares for the session beforehand, (b) applies the learnings from the session afterward, and (c) has an opportunity for feedback and mutual accountability:
PREPARE: For each session, there will be preparatory materials on a private web page, including handouts to download, reading assignments, videos, etc. As we start each session, the facilitator will assume you have engaged with these preparatory materials as the instructions suggest. Typically, this preparation will take about 20-30 minutes. The core content of each session is presented as videos within these materials. ENGAGE: Participate in the workshop session (or listen to the recording if you are unable to attend). Typically we will do a brief check-in, then we will focus half the time on debriefing your application of the material from the prior session, and the other half of the time on questions of clarity around the new material within the current session. APPLY: Each session will have a set of activities that supports you in applying the key concepts in your workplace environment. Typically, the practice to apply the learnings will also take about 20-30 minutes. FEEDBACK and MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY: Each participant will be paired with another participant who will be their “Accountability Buddy.” As a means of enhancing accountability and providing an opportunity for feedback, We have two requests to support your learning:
