Leadership Workshop
March 30-31, 2010| Montreal - Canada

An effective leader has the ability to get a group of diverse and talented people working together towards a common goal. Sounds easy in principle, and yet this can be a large challenge for many leaders today.

We have found that great leaders, many of whom have strong personalities, find ways to affect others in a positive way and have a lasting and determining influence on people's performances.

In order to succeed as a talented leader, you need everyone contributing and performing individual duties and responsibilities at a very high level of proficiency.

This one and half a day practical "hands on" Leadership Workshop provides tools and the "how-to's" to confidently lead others more effectively. The program focuses on key areas of leadership success.

The participants learn to:

  • Self-assessment
  • Characteristics of today's workforce
  • Skills required to be an effective leader
  • Motivational strategies to address the generational mix
  • Effectively communicate and influence others
  • Manage fluent change
  • Achieve the essentials for continuous growth
  • Build trusting and positive relationships with others
  • Influence growth and change in the organization
  • Improve decision-making abilities
  • Learn ways to effectively see the "big picture"
  • Create and sustain great positive team dynamics through effective coaching and development techniques
