Effective Workplace Conversations Are the Lifeblood of Successful Organizations
It’s Not Enough To Have Great Technical Skills Without Great Communication Skills
Our clients fall into two main categories:
- Organizations—1000 employees and up—often with a global market and many offices nationally and/or internationally. They might be corporate clients or large governmental or NGO organizations. They are big enough to have a significant layer of middle management—where leadership development has major impact. They see their employees as their #1 resource—and this is not simply “lip service”. If this describes you, read on. We can support you in two ways: 1) delivering programs directly to you; and/or 2) preparing your internal trainers to deliver our material.
- Independent consultants/trainers/coaches who deliver leadership development programs to their own network of clients, whether large or small. Independent consultants and trainers know that creating high quality training materials is difficult, time consuming and costly. It makes sense to search the market for the very best programs available – and use them. This is the smart way to both serve clients and build a high-quality independent brand. If this describes you, you’ve come to the right place. We can support you in two ways: 1) training you to lead our programs; and 2) supporting you and your business by including you in our international network of Leadscape Associates. After reviewing our programs have a look at some success stories from our associates.
“Soft” Skills Are Tough To Learn—Yet Produce “Hard” Results
When leaders don’t know how to communicate, the whole organization suffers and leadership is compromised. The costs are significant: low morale, de-motivated employees and exhausted managers. No one is happy—not the leader, not the organization, and certainly not the employees. Incorporating the skills that develop both your leaders and their direct reports is critical to the overall success of your organization. We work with companies who are committed to providing the tools that guarantee leadership success.
Our Business—Developing The Skills of Effective Leadership Conversations
You want your managers to know how to partner with team members and customers. They must be able to give effective feedback, motivate through influence, and build team skills. You may have the assignment to coordinate an initiative to spread these skills throughout the organization. You want training that will make a difference—something that is both powerful and practical.
We’re Clearly Passionate About Developing Leaders
You’re Looking For a Tailor-Made Program–Customized to Improve the Quality of Workplace Conversations In Your Organization
Your organization has a pressing need to develop leadership at the mid-level. You don’t want to spend in-house resources to develop materials. You’re looking for “mass customization”—an effective program that can be customized to your company’s specifics. You may need to train in different languages, in multiple locations, and to large numbers of managers quickly.
You have exceptionally high standards, and a conviction that you must improve the soft skills of your managers. It doesn’t matter whether your business is primarily technical, sales, or service oriented. It is the ability of your employees to have effective conversations with coworkers and clients that makes the biggest difference to your business. When your competitors are offering a similar product or service, the differentiator is your employees’ mastery of soft skills—how they “show up” with clients or customers.
We Make Sure Your Leaders Are Equipped…
…To Conduct Powerful Conversations That Get Your Desired Business Results
We work with organizations that are committed to transforming the workplace by optimizing leadership skills. We’ve worked with all kinds of companies and a broad spectrum of industries. Our work has taken us to five continents and more than 12 countries, in some instances introducing coaching concepts in a country for the first time. We’ve worked directly with leadership teams and with HR professionals who are responsible for “leading the charge” in their organization.
The common thread in our work is that we provide your leaders with the tools to bring out the best in others. The many organizations we’ve worked with all recognize the importance of effective workplace conversations. They want their employees to know how to conduct such conversations.
