Fail- Safe Leadership – There is an overabundance of managers but a huge lack of leaders.  This situation clearly limits the organizations opportunity to grow.  The Leadership Development process is a structured, pragmatic approach to leadership growth.  It is a process designed to help individuals develop the attitudes, skills and qualities necessary for personal and organizational leadership.

Powerful Practice Development: Beyond Numbers and Hours  (designed for professional service firms) - There is nothing more predictive of success and satisfaction than developing a clear focus for your career, your life and your practice.  Yet, nowhere are we taught the factors to consider in defining this critical focus.  This interactive workshop will assist in establishing the criteria necessary to develop a successful practice along with tips on effective steps for future development. 

Rainmaking:  Selling Skills for the Non-Sales Professional – Professionals in all areas of professional service firms are faced with increasing competition and the need to enhance their business development skills.  Often these skills can be a difficult component of success and advancement for an individual practitioner.  This course focuses on understanding the process and developing easy to use strategies that will fit the professional practitioners style and goals. 

Balancing Work and Family - So many demands, so many areas, so little time.  As we balance the activities of life, sometimes we move from the Balanced Cycle to the Stress Cycle.  This workshop focuses on understanding what the Balance Cycle looks like for each participant and the choices necessary to avoid the Stress Cycle.

 

Succession Planning - With the aging of the “boomer” generation many organizations are facing the issue of identifying and developing leaders for the next generation. Succession planning is a process that requires today’s leaders to examine not only where their organization is today but what will it need to be in the future. How will the competencies and skills of the next generation of leaders need to be different than current leadership?  What are the trends and challenges in the next 5 to 20 years and how will they effect the choice and development of future leaders? How will you position your people and your organization to meet the challenges of the future while maintaining the continuity necessary for survival?

 

How to Lead a Team - Learn skills rated "most critical" by veteran team leaders. By understanding and building the practical skills necessary to lead a team, the leader and team experience greater success.

Testimonials:

I now, for the first time, truly feel that I am in control of my future! You offered me the insight I needed into understanding my natural skills and abilities and how to leverage those in my everyday life. I now feel incredible focus and most of all balance that I was certainly missing prior to your program.  —General Manager, Communications Corporation

This was absolutely one of the most amazing processes I have ever gone through working for a major corporation. I highly recommend that any individual or company invest in your programs. Speaking personally and from a corporate standpoint this program has resulted in many positive effects. The greatest effect being that it has taught me how to be a more effective leader and better understand my strengths and weaknesses. Our executive team is communicating in a more effective and high performance manner. Your insights have proven to be so beneficial as we move forward and continue to build our executive team.
—VP Sales and Marketing, Staffing Company

I have taken numerous feedback instruments in my 20 years of human resource work (I’m a bit of a feedback junkie) and this particular tool has proven to be extremely validating and useful. It also benefited our team since we have shared our results openly with each other and we frequently reference the feedback. Personally, I’ve referred to the written feedback on several occasions to help explain my behavior and preferences.  — Senior HR Consultant, Technology Corporation

I had the opportunity to participate in the your program. It was one of two watershed developmental experiences I have had in my career. The ability assessment and individual feedback session provided information that set me thinking about used and unused abilities. The group workshop sessions facilitated by your staff helped me take that information and turn it into actions that produced real change in my life. You and your staff made me feel comfortable while exploring important and difficult questions about what I was doing and what I could be doing.  — Senior Consultant, Consulting Firm

This program has been a lighthouse of professional and personal direction for me. It has illuminated my natural skills in a way that no other self-assessment inventory has ever done. I am using it to guide me around the challenging reefs in the ocean of my life. I refer back to it often, and use it as a means of personal reflection. With it, I am making more confident decisions because I know more deeply about who I am, and am not. I would recommend this process and Dr. Leitschuh’s firm to anyone who is serious about maximizing the talents and skills they already have.  — Consultant/Trainer, Educational Consulting Firm
