Leading in Change

The art and science of leading thriving teams.

Two things about change are true: It is always happening in thriving cultures. It is stressful—usually exhausting—on both the personal and organizational levels. So, we tend to view change as something to be managed, something to get through, and, wherever possible, avoided. 

To balance the inevitability and stress of change, perhaps a better way to think about it is Leading In Change.

Anyone can learn, practice, and perfect the art and science of Leading in Change.  This six-week program gives you the skills to build a culture that not only weathers change but embraces opportunities to thrive and grow.

What You Leave With:

  • The five factors of a team culture that thrives in change, growth, and even the status quo

  • Four communication skills vital to effective change management

  • Ways to quickly and correctly classify the challenges that lead to change.

  • A method for setting clear goals and benchmarks

  • Replicable tools and practices to help lead change initiatives at the personal, team, organizational, and community levels.

This Workshop is designed for:

  • Newly designated people, team, or project leaders

  • Leadership teams in transition

  • Inspired team leaders within, shall we say, “challenging” cultures.

  • Anyone who wants to expand their skills to inspire and influence team culture and build a community.

Leading in Change:

Leading in Change is a framework for thinking about how people inspire, influence, and lead, whether from a position of authority, as a member of a team, or an individual who wants to help the people around them do their best work. 

There are five factors to the framework:

  • Define and make the most of what makes you tick.

  • Channel change into growth using the art and science of feedback that works.

  • Communicate to inspire and influence.

  • Wire your brain for optimal decision making.

  • Channel change into growth using the art and science of feedback that works.

The Process:

We use a blend of proven leadership development tools, the current neuroscience of human interaction, the Results Coaching method, and the knowledge and experiences you bring to the program. We’ll identify and build on your real-world challenges and goals to practice the concepts.  And we’ll provide tools and support to turn what you learn into habits.  We’ll even give you tips on how to spread these ideas among colleagues, family and friends. 

The program includes six modules, each consisting of three to four chapters that include:

  • Facilitated instruction

  • Activities and reflection

  • Opportunities to apply each concept or tool to a real-world situation you encounter

  • Tools for practicing what you’ve learned and honing them as skills.

Frequently asked questions

  • If you mean, “do I have to be in charge of other people,” absolutely not!

    We think leadership is something you do, not someone you are. Leadership is for anyone who wants to positively inspire or influence other people - and that can be at work, in your community, at home, and anyplace you want to help people do their best woirk or live their best lives.

  • Currently, there’s no official accreditation associated. But, we promise you’ll leave with some skills others will notice. And, if that’s not enough, there will be a lovely certificate of completion for you to display as needed.

  • Not yet! But the last couple of years have shown me that nothing beats in-person learning. We can definitely put together custom, in-house workshops. Click on “Schedule a Chat” or Drop Me a Line” below if you’d like to find out more.

  • We are happy to give you a full refund up until completion of your first module. (Yep! At the very least you get one module for free!) After that, we are open to discussing a sliding scale based on how much of the workshop you’re completed.
