Course outline

There will be a total of 18 connections through the year: 9 half-day classroom sessions plus 9 coaching-cohort meetings (lasting 60 minutes each with just 3 participants to maximize coaching time with Rhonda). Here is a brief description of the training modules of this Conscious Leadership Program. In each of the 9 modules we cover 2 topics. Programs can be customized to fewer than 9 modules if desired:

Essential Leadership Rituals
and
Coach Approach

Rituals of time management and delegation that ensure follow-through as you shift from the doer (or subject matter expert) to the leader. Coaching skills and potent questions to empower staff.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
and
Stress Management

Cultivate powerful, calm presence even when triggered by stress and change. Notice what’s really going on within you and around you as a conscious leader. Hone an ‘inner’ focus and ‘other’ focus.

Employee Engagement
and
Strength-based Leadership 

Identify where staff fall in the cycle of engagement. Create a community of Vital Friends at work and ritualize face-time with staff. Build engagement with the work itself using Buckingham’s strength-based approach.

Performance Management
and
Goal Setting

Set clear, consistent and fair expectations that grow weakness to competence + strength to excellence. Set SMART goals with staff. Create a feedback loop where you deliver and receive positive and constructive feedback with grace.

Critical Conversations
and
Workplace Drama
 

The Green Balloon Model of communication: balance clear/direct with empathetic/curious. Initiate critical conversations (brave and uncomfortable) by stepping off the drama triangle and onto the empowerment triangle.

Conflict Competence
and
Dealing with Differences

The role assumptions play in conflict with staff, colleagues or customers. Deal effectively with differing (and difficult) personalities, inter-generational and intercultural differences. Build strong rapport through body language.

Leading Change
and
Effective Meetings
 

The spectrum of Change-Resistors and Change-Champions. Deciding when and how to involve employees in change. How to lead effective meetings that people actually want to come to.

Negotiation vs Collaboration
and
Decision Making 

Negotiate up, down and side-to-side on the chain of command. Collaboration, trust and respect at work. High-performance decision making and consciously choosing a style that fits the situation.

Strategic Mindset
and
Presentation Skills

Develop an ‘outer focus’ as you secure time and space for strategy, organizational culture and mentorship. Present your ideas effectively to a group or 1-to-1 for maximum influence and engagement.

This program includes in-class practise of new skills, a robust tool-kit you take away and lively demonstrations to keep participants engaged. Rhonda will ensure you fully integrate the material, creating peer accountability and coaching opportunities in each module.

Unique features / FAQ

Coach time: Highly integrative thanks to the inclusion of coaching-cohort groups (3 participants in each) which increase the application of new skills, making it a sound investment.
