Overview: The objective of this program is for participants to identify their individual leadership advantage and build confidence in their own authentic approach. The four workshops provide a concrete and comprehensive method to gain self-awareness and confidence to be an effective leader: increasing initiative, improving individual performance and impact on others, and building people skills for more motivational interaction.
Outcomes: The program will provide participants with a compass to channel their strengths to work authentically with their own leadership style. They will gain confidence, focus, and the ability to accelerate actions to achieve more. This program will help resolve the challenges for participants trying to imitate other leaders rather than being themselves. They will be further equipped with rapport building skills by listening to others’ needs and interests, understanding differences, and finding common ground.
