Let’s Put the I’s Back in Team

As a team leader or HR professional you want to let each team member shine, even when they don’t consistently perform at the level you’d like. Your organization may be either too small to have an internal talent development program — or so big, the one you have can’t flex to every situation. So while mid-level development is important, it gets pushed downstream for more urgent issues. It may leave you wondering why retention and engagement are low with your most valuable employees. You need leadership development programs that are flexible, fit your budget, and get results. That’s what we do.

At Clear Strategy Coaching, we believe that:

• Leadership development really means creating a trusting environment where employees can feel energized, purposeful, connected and creative… and shine.
• When that happens, teams bring deeper insights to the table and solve bigger challenges.
• Solving bigger challenges is key to delivering results in today’s environment of grinding change.

With a focus on individual and team, the Clear Strategy programs put the I’s back in team:  Impact, Influence, Initiative and Innovation, that let you harness talent for Inspiration and a whole new level of organizational performance.

Here are the I⁴ Programs:

Creating Your Own Engagement: Team members who know what they contribute are motivated to do their best, and their leaders can better allocate their talents. In this 3-hour session, participants learn to leverage their strengths with maturity, and manage their areas of opportunity for personal growth and organizational results.

Public Speaking and Executive Presence:  Bring the award winning Columbia Executive Education team to your organization.  Help your employees speak better in front of clients, senior leaders and key stakeholders and communicate more effectively every day.  One-day and multi-day sessions can be customized to your needs.

Team Visioning: Year in, year out teams do annual planning.  They often step over a re-energizing conversation around shared vision and goals. This half-day session provides the tools to leverage individual and collective strengths, and take action from the team’s values. With renewed clarity, the team can motivate key stakeholders throughout the organization.

Relationship Building: With a focus on relationship building, Social Style is a secret weapon. In this 3-hour session, participants learn to evaluate others’ behavior and adapt their own for greater influence and improved relationships. Social Style gives employees the ability to serve clients better and manage internal relationships up, down and across.

Innovation – The Trust Factor: Today we are faced with grinding change. The uncertainty can be paralyzing. In this session the team learns principles of resilience, evaluating successes and failures, and having courageous conversations that build a trusting environment and give employees the confidence to put forth their most innovative ideas.

I⁴ = Inspiration: The Program: When your team is ready for breakthrough Inspiration, this multi-session program is for 6-12 middle level managers. When team members have the confidence that comes with knowing their strengths, the tools to listen powerfully and solve the right challenges, the courage to take measured risk, and the resilience that comes with experience, the motivation is contagious.

“The Clear Strategy seminars on vision and communication gave our teams the tools to work thoughtfully and effectively, particularly through challenging times of change.”
