Engaged Leadership©
Ignite your leadership team.
Engaged Leadership© is a year-long development experience strategically designed to help teams become more effective and operate above the line – while becoming more innovative, creative and inspirational as they execute on a shared vision.
This is done through twin goals: the first being to build a high-performing team, and the second to develop the individual leaders on that team to reach their highest potential – all within the context of delivering on, or exceeding, your stated business results.
The Engaged Leadership© experience involves learning the importance of the WHAT and the HOW of a team, and developing understanding of why these components lead to increased growth and success.
WHAT = the context, vision and big goals of the leadership team
HOW = how the team functions, HOW we lead, HOW we relate to others, HOW we grow as individuals and a team, HOW we build our emotional intelligence and how we grow our intelligence as a team (our “WeQ”)
It takes a growth mindset.
In order for the experience to be successful, I partner specifically with growth-mindset leaders who have undergone their own development journey resulting in an understanding of their inner strengths, their vulnerabilities and their own desire to keep growing even when it gets uncomfortable. These are leaders who have a high degree of self-awareness and who, in turn, are able to actively help others grow through providing ongoing coaching and development. The ability to hold this “both/and” orientation of self-growth and other’s growth is essential.
Engaged Leadership© Development Model
Tailoring the experience
for your specific team.
In the beginning, I work with the senior leader to customize the experience for their team’s specific needs, whether it be a newly formed team, one that has been intact for a while, or a mix of new and seasoned team members.
From the kick-off meeting throughout the engagement, I facilitate opportunities for more real, open conversations, including meaningful interactions that build trust and psychological safety. These conversations, coupled with custom-designed practices, help team members get to know each other on a deeper, more personal level which leads to enhanced interpersonal communication, support, courage and higher team performance. The process takes time – sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. With my support and guidance, it does happen.
By the end of the Engaged Leadership© experience, my clients express being able to do things they did not think were possible before, both individually and collectively. They say they feel energized and excited. They often feel more balanced and at ease. They are genuinely more committed to seeking out and including diverse perspectives, and are able to see each other more clearly as people and as leaders. I’m told that they feel “more like themselves” than they have ever felt at work, and, as a result, feel as if they are creating more enduring value. Ultimately, they have learned how to lead with heart.
Through Engaged Leadership©, my clients learn the art of being autonomous while functioning as a high-performing team. It’s a powerful experience.
