Leadership Accelerator
Program Overview
Transitioning into a leadership role is a time of tremendous growth and with it, growing pains. Imagine transforming uncertainty and chaos into greater confidence by stepping into your leadership role with greater clarity, greater focus and a stronger, more powerful presence.
​
This program is for you if you have recently just stepped into a new leadership role, are feeling stressed and overwhelmed by all the new demands and expectations, and want support as you navigate your way through this major transition.
Together, we will navigate some of the most common challenges and traps of leadership, hone your leadership style, and cultivate the mindset, habits and behaviors needed for you to inspire and lead with greater clarity and authenticity. This program will help you accelerate time to proficiency and equip you with the skills to start leading rather than just managing while avoiding some of the pitfalls and common mistakes of new leaders. We will work together to determine what you most would like to focus on.
A Simple 3-Step Process
Step 1:
Determine the starting point
Understand and let go of the old ways of thinking, believing and behaving that worked for you previously but will no longer serve you as a leader.
Step 2:
Establish the new
destination
Gain a more holistic view of self, including your values, vision, your motivators and define what the leader version of you looks, walks, talks, and behaves like.​
Step 3:
Calculate the best route
Gain a more holistic view of self, including your values, vision, your motivators and define what the leader version of you looks, walks, talks, and behaves like.
Program Focus Areas
Clarify Your Values, Vision & Leadership Style
You can have the best GPS, but without a clear end point you won't get very far, or worse, end up in places you didn't want to go. By taking the time to define, articulate and live authentically from your values you reap the benefits of aligned action and decision making, increased motivation and clarity of purpose, improved communication, and are prepared to navigate challenges with greater clarity.
Improve Feedback Giving and Receiving Skills
Being good at giving feedback also entails being good at receiving it and fostering an environment where such feedback can be safely given. This program includes an optional leadership assessment to help you gain clarify of the factors and tendencies that impact the way you lead.
Cultivate Trust
& Safety
When team members feel safe to express themselves, take risks, and make mistakes without fear of judgment or reprisal, they feel more engaged, contribute more fully and creativity and innovation happen more easily. As a leader, it's your responsibility to foster an environment where trust thrives and safety is a given - and lead by example.
Increase Strategic Focus and Prioritization
Stepping into a leadership role begins with understanding that 'what got you here, won't get you there'. It means reassessing how you can best add value, carving out time to determine what's most important versus only tending to the urgent, adjusting your priorities and learning to delegate.​
Improve Self-Awareness
& Self-Management
This key ingredient of great leadership enables you to know yourself better and thus navigate the challenges of leadership with more preparedness and greater empathy. It helps you better understand your strengths and your weaknesses; improves your decision-making through understanding your values, biases, and emotions; increases your adaptability and your resilience.
Demonstrate a Coaching Mindset
Learning to think and connect with others more like a coach is a mindset that will serve you throughout your leadership journey and will ripple into every facet of your life.
Enhance Your Listening Skills
Understand the secret sauce to this basic but difficult, it may seem, skill to master. This skill alone will help you solve problems and conflicts, connect with others more authentically, empower your team, increase your likability and your trustworthiness.
Manage Your
Well-Being
Firing on all cylinders and managing your well-being as a leader are paramount for your effectiveness, resilience and overall fulfillment.
Don't wait until the symptoms of burnout start creeping in. Keep your saw sharp by proactively establishing the practices, boundaries and sustainable habits that will help you thrive more of the time.
