LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATE CONT...
To get the job done, effective leaders know how to use
influence when they lack direct authority. They innovate,
using informal power to compel key stakeholders, upward,
downward, and laterally. Participants in this course will
experience expanded positive influence by embodying
the attributes of influential people, discover how to read
situations in order to bring the right communication, and
learn strategies to brand their leadership identity with
others and with themselves.

Development certificate and it clarifies the full scope of
these roles. It shows participants their strengths and sets

Motivating & Coaching to Build Top Talent
Organizations need people to step up and get the job done.
Most organizations expect this without giving enough of
the right kinds of support to staff and without insisting on
the right kinds of activities from managers. This class helps
participants create environments that compel initiative at
every level and gives them the hands-on coaching practice
needed to develop people’s capacity, be they already highperformers, entry level staff, or somewhere in between.

Managing Change & Making Great Decisions
Organizations that have the right change rollout conversations and involve the right people at the right times are
the most successful. Organizations that are clear about
their decision making criteria and how each member is
expected to input are more productive. This program leads
participants through an assessment of these processes in
their organization and for their teams. Teaches strategies
to immediately elevate functioning and provides templates
for keeping the improvement focused and on track in the
future.

Leading Through Difficulty: Emotional
Intelligence, Communication, and Conflict
Management
Most employees spend too much time in conflict situations.
Most managers spend too much time putting out fires that
could have been prevented with better planning and more
deliberate actions. These events collide to create a constant
strain for managers. This program gives them the tools to
better manage themselves so they are less drained from
these realities, it clarifies processes for handling conflicts
head-on before they become too hot to handle, and it provides practice in communication skills for turning difficult
situations into win-wins almost all the time.
