Leadership Training

Our 25-year experience in the field shows clearly that the key to growing leaders is not passing knowledge but inspiring and supporting them in continuous learning. We see ourselves as igniters of a strong will in leaders to become truly responsible for their growth and supporters of their leadership journey. Knowledge is clearly useful, but eventually becomes outdated and organizations simply do not have enough time to train their people in everything that is needed. The people must gather knowledge themselves and use it as best as they can, including sharing it with others.

What is called for then is character development, team development and communication. Character can be strengthened by real experiences and that is why we use Experiential and Action Learning – challenging leaders’ assumptions and comfort zones so they overcome internal barriers, learn to thrive on change and become true engines of progress for their organizations.

Business results cannot be generated by individuals working on their own. That is why we stress developing leaders in cross-organizational teams that support each member and are able to change the way things are done. In our process, leaders will focus on values, principles, vision and strategy that are a foundation for organizational stability and growth – building commitment of employees and clients. As P. Drucker says “the biggest value is not in creating strategies, it is in the learning while working together continuously on reviewing strategies.”

None of the above can happen without trustful and open communication. Working with leaders, we focus on emotional intelligence that helps them understand their own and others’ emotions and use them in most beneficial ways as well as communication skills that make this possible. We look into empowering communication not only in individual contacts but also in whole teams and organizations. We implement systems to make communication positive, systematic and systemic.

Our trainers, coaches and consultants are normally not lecturers, presenters or motivational speakers. They are keen facilitators of individual and group learning and coaches that ask powerful questions making people really think - evoking real change in organizations. They are not afraid to take risks, open up and learn themselves during the process - modeling how participants can be, lead and succeed.

As organizational consultants we look at the whole organization, making sure it supports its leaders. We will propose and prepare systems of feedback and feedforward that affect not just leaders themselves, but also people around them – creating a leadership coaching culture within the organization that can support and sustain personal and financial growth. By sharing insights and ideas for improvement, in a simple but effective system, everyone can improve and become inspired to develop further.
