Live In-Person Training, Live Virtual (Zoom-based) Training in Leadership & Culture, Work & WellbeingAs businesses grow, it is natural to move high performing employees into a team leadership role. Unfortunately, this move can prove problematic. Employees who are good at doing their own job, don’t always have the skills they need to help manage the performance of others. The additional level of responsibility can distract them from maintaining previously high performance in their original role. Resentment can build from peers who aren’t open to being managed by someone whom they see as being at the same level as they are. In short, moving an employee to a team leadership or mentoring role can turn into a minefield of problems! This program provides newly minted team leaders with the skills they need to confidently manage their peers in a way that fosters creativity, collaboration and camaraderie rather than resistance and resentment.

As an owner of a successful and growing small business, do you feel overwhelmed, exhausted and frustrated that things just don’t seem to run properly unless you’re there? Do you wonder why, no matter how many times you tell them, your team doesn’t seem able to do things the way you want them to? Do you wonder if you’ll ever get to the point that you have the freedom you started your business to create? You’re not alone. If you’re like many successful purpose-driven small business owners, your success to date has been built on a great product, solid marketing, hard work and your passion for what you do. In short, your success and growth have been based, to a large extent, on your character, personality and passions. This is both your biggest strength and your biggest weakness. It’s your biggest strength because it has brought you to where you are. The products and services you’ve created, the customers you’ve attracted, the staff who work for you – all of them are here because of who you are and what you do. It’s your biggest weakness because, until you define that “secret sauce” that lives inside you in a way that allows your team to duplicate it in their area, you’re going to be stuck monitoring and micro-managing every aspect of the business. Not only does this limit the freedom and fulfillment your business can create for you as the owner, it limits the long term growth potential of your business. If you’re serious about leaving a positive legacy with your business and creating greater freedom and fulfillment for yourself, defining and systematizing your culture is the next critical step on your entrepreneurial journey. Our Small Business Culture Design Bootcamp will catapult your business to the next level by teaching you how to take your secret sauce out of your head and put it into the hands and hearts of your team!

Learn more...Managing Change for Small Business Leaders
Most small business owners struggle to successfully implement and sustain change in themselves, their team and their business overall. Research shows that 50-70% of change initiatives fall short of achieving the outcomes identified at the beginning of the change effort. Why? Because they focus on trying to manage concrete projects and tasks and underestimate the importance of managing the much messier, more emotional and less rational side of change – the people side. This program equips participants with the fundamental skills and knowledge they need to lead and manage both planned and unexpected change. Regardless of whether they have initiated the business change themselves or have had change forced upon them by external forces, participants will gain valuable skills, knowledge and perspective on the human side of change that will help them more confidently move their team in the direction they want their business to go.

Most successful leaders feel confident in their strategic planning, project management and performance management abilities, but experience frustration when it comes to realizing the full potential of planned change initiatives in their organizations. This isn’t just because they have high expectations. Research shows that 50-70% of change initiatives fall short of achieving the outcomes identified at the beginning of the change effort. So why do so many brilliant leaders so often experience such a lack of success in managing change? It’s because they rely on their strengths of managing the task-oriented side of strategy, projects and performance and underestimate the importance of the much messier, more emotional and less rational side of change – the people side. This program equips participants with the fundamental skills and knowledge they need to lead and manage both planned and unexpected change. Regardless of whether they have been instrumental in instigating the change or are themselves struggling to buy into the required changes even as they are expecting to manage others to implement the change, participants will gain perspective on the human side of change that will move both them and their team in the direction the organization needs.
