LESSON PLAN
Module 1 | Introduction
To set the framework for the entire program, addressing issues such as purpose, process and pay-offs.
Module 2 | Working On Self
This module is designed to help you examine yourself, your behaviors and your attitudes. You will gain understanding regarding why you are as you are and are given the tools to change those things that do not help you to be the best that you can possibly be. This module is an essential building block, as it provides the mechanism for change while removing any impediments that could hold you back from implementing upcoming modules.
Module 3 | Working With Others
Leaders must understand how others communicate, take in information, process and make decisions, and orient themselves to their world. By learning to allow for natural differences in style and personalities, we can use the appropriate style to achieve results with others. Leaders also become more aware of their own ‘bias’ when dealing with others.
Module 4 | Leadership vs. Management
This module explores the difference between management and leadership, and the behaviors required to be successful in both capacities.
Module 5 | Building Effective Teams
Leaders must be able to engage both the hearts and minds of team members; and at the same time build co-operation between all members of their teams. This module explores the keys to building high performing teams, and how to overcome some of the obstacles that can get in the way.
Module 6 | The Personal and Professional Challenge
Module 7 | Individual Differences & Motivation
People always have a reason for what they do. Understanding what drives behavior is an essential prerequisite for in turn eliciting desirable outcomes from team members. This module explores how to manage the individual differences and motivational drivers of those within the teams we lead.
Module 8 | Consulting (Client Acquisition, Retention, and Loyalty)
The skills involved in gaining and maintaining clients are not generally taught in most professions. This module is an opportunity to fast track the approaches that work for leaders who get results.
Module 9 | Delegation
Working effectively through others is essential to our success as managers and leaders. If you still have a nagging doubt that the only way to be sure of getting a job done right is to do it yourself, then this is the session for you!
Module 10 | Negotiation
Effective negotiation is an essential tool when dealing with colleagues, team members and clients. This module explores an approach that moves oneself toward a desired outcome and preserves the relationship.
Module 11 | Presentation Skills
In a modern corporate environment, we are often called upon to present to others. This may take the form of addressing meetings through to speaking in front of large gatherings of peers or clients. This program is designed to assist in the development of presentation and public speaking skills for those who need to stand up in front of a group confidently and present in an interesting and involving fashion.
Module 12 | Lateral Thinking & Problem-Solving
This module explores some of the benefits and techniques of lateral thinking and problem solving. These can be used for the development of successful solutions to everyday business and team problems.

When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.
