Leadership Development Training I  5.0  – 3 Days (UPDATED – Coming Spring 2020)

This 3- day training provides an organization-wide look into how leaders lead an organization (Category 1). The training is designed for anyone who is in a leadership position from CEO/Superintendent level to aspiring leaders who are not yet in a leadership position. Based on the book “Beacons of Light on Leadership,” the session provides an organization-wide look into how an organization leads. Real case studies, videos, and breakouts make this training both entertaining and informative. The training also includes specific tools and resources for equipping an Internal Coach on how to successfully implement the Baldrige Framework within your organization.

Workforce Engagement Training 2.0 – 3 Days

Are you implementing effective strategies for engaging employees who are burned out? Are you a supervisor needing fresh insights on how to help your employees stay engaged?

Are you preparing to coach your team through an organizational or departmental change and need better tools on how to build, reinforce, and anchor a great workplace culture? Are you tired of being unsuccessful in hiring the right internal candidates for future leadership roles, or frustrated in your ability to determine why great employees quit and what to do about it? Do you know how to hire for talent? These are a few of the questions and topics that will be addressed during our new Workforce Engagement 3-day training which is designed to bring organizations up to date with the latest research and fact-based information (Category 5).
