Leading Bold Change™ 

Leading Bold Change prepares leaders at all levels to take action and mobilize employees toward realizing successful business transformations. A dynamic change management workshop, Leading Bold Change is based on Our Iceberg Is Melting, the fable by Harvard Business School Professor, John Kotter, Ph.D. and Holger Rathgeber. The interactive learning program facilitates the application of Kotter’s eight step process – first documented in his 1996 bestseller, Leading Change – for creating sustainable change in organizations. This one-day seminar will provide invaluable insights and guidance to effectively promoting, implementing and sustaining change in your organization.

Planning for Business Results™ 

Planning for Business Results provides you with a roadmap for breaking out of a reactive role and developing a strategic planning process that helps focus your function on activities that drive the business. This highly interactive one-day seminar will help you establish a framework for high-impact planning, connect activities to business performance, and build meaningful measurement into your plans to evaluate and capture success. Additionally, you will learn to talk about the work of your function in terms of the results that matter most to your organization and its leaders.

Planning for Professional Development™ 

Planning for Professional Development enables you to take charge of your professional growth and create an actionable plan based upon your specific development needs. With a focus on you as an individual, we conduct a confidential capabilities assessment prior to the program to help you explore your attitudes, preferences, strengths and blind spots. Additionally, you will receive a one-on-one individualized coaching session to help you identify career goals and construct your developmental roadmap. A thought-provoking and engaging learning experience, this one-and-a-half-day seminar will help you view challenges from new vantage points, explore how to add further value to the business, and outline action steps to close competency gaps.
