Authentic Leadership Training Programs

Take Your Organization To The Next Level
Boost Productivity, Cooperation and Satisfaction

Authentic Leadership Training (ALT) is a customized program designed to accelerate and sustain  career development and enterprise growth.  ALT offers immediately usable tools and an experiential “laboratory” for fostering open, vibrant interactions among professionals in high-performance environments.  The modules also help you identify, and then quickly eliminate behaviors that drain energy and sabotage goals.

ALT’s underlying concepts are embodied in the Authentic Relationships table.  Productive interaction – whether in the workplace or outside it – is based on a foundation of authenticity.  Obstacles to authenticity – literally cracks in this foundation – are common and inevitable.  They include rigid attitudes, unspoken resentments, turf battles, aversion to conflict, and general distrust.  ALT provides you with tools to help you anticipate and even avoid these obstacles.  What’s more, ALT will provide you with proven ways to repair the cracks when they do occur.

We tailor the actual training to your specific needs, derived from the following options:

Foundational Skills:

• Distinctions between authentic and transactional relationships; how to choose which type you want            

• Creating a “safe place” for authentic exchange

• Cleanly raising, addressing and resolving interpersonal issues or conflicts

• Sensing and navigating emotion as it arises in others, and in yourself

• Identifying and moving past energy-draining “drama” in relationships

• The relationship “MRI” :Being clean with others; being clean with yourself

One-On-One Skills:

• Offering (and receiving) advice, feedback, and criticism

• Offering (and receiving) coaching, mentoring and empowerment

Group Interaction Skills:

• Addressing problems or dilemmas; with no clear answer

• Planning, strategy, collaboration and brainstorming

• Tools for inspiring a group toward a long-term vision or an immediate goal

• A crucial checklist of questions to help you resolve ANY problem or dilemma, whether your own, the group’s, or the organization’s

Bottom Line Skills:

• Making, executing and honoring agreements, directives and commitments

• Handling broken agreements

• Establishing and monitoring accountability

• Negotiating rewards and consequences

• Celebration, appreciation, honoring and affirmation

Working from this menu of options, we collaborate with your CEO or Chief Training Officer to customize and deliver the ALT modules you want.  Schedule ALT as a series of half-day or full-day sessions, or as a multi-day intensive – whatever works best at your organization.
