Higher Leadership

Who Are You Professionally Becoming?
Authentic leaders are responsible and accountable to becoming personally and professionally greater. Without a deliberate and measurable plan to grow personally and professionally, individuals placed in high positions of authority may find, over time, their leadership skills become less and less effective. The leadership style of the leader reflects and complements the success or failure of the employees and the company. The objective of the session is to have each participant build their own individually designed personal and professional growth plan.

Honour in the Workplace
The real return on investment is experienced when employees feel honoured through sincere and genuine acknowledgment and recognition for a job well done. Learn how little it takes to honour employees, customers, clients, suppliers and prospects. Honouring others is the ultimate value proposition.

Egoless Leadership
This topic is not designed to make “ego” leaders wrong but to inspire and educate participants on the enormous and sustainable benefits a leader will create when a leader decides to move their ego aside. Egoless leaders are considered to be very rare. Practicing at this higher leadership level eliminates fear. Breaking through fear allows for leadership transparency. Employees thrive on following a leader who is worthy of their loyalty. The benefits of moving one’s ego aside and leading with transparency sends a whole new message of trust to those who are following.

Inspired Leadership
Learn how to inspire vs. motivate employees to achieve corporate goals and objectives. Motivation stimulates whereas inspiration integrates. Until a leader becomes inspired it is very difficult to inspire others. Inspired leaders consciously go out of their way and go the extra mile to make a monumental difference. They lead with “what is in it for us” rather than “what is in it for me”.

Remove Leadership Assumptions
Leaders must be able to recognize assumptions in order to remove them. When too many assumptions are made, this is a recipe for inevitable failure and self-sabotage
Learn how paying attention to paying attention to what is said and not said; to what is heard and not heard; and to what is seen and not seen will exalt employee performance and sustain corporate growth.

Employee Self-Measured Performance
Learn how to set employees up to become more personally and professional responsible and accountable for their job performance. This is achieved through utilizing a patented tool designed by Jan Eden referred to as “A Living Job Description”. Employees self measure their own performance either daily, weekly, monthly or upon completion of a special project. This documentation once presented at a quarterly or annual review confirms without a doubt that the employee has diligently earned not assumed a salary increase for a job well done.


Investor Relations

What is your Investor Relations Presentation Not Saying?
Learn to be the investor when building your presentations. When deciding who you want as an investor research the investor beforehand to discover what the prospective investor is seriously looking for over and above a positive return on his or her investment. Remember to never ever assume. You get one kick at the cat. Spend the time and money to ensure that your presentation exceeds beyond all others.


Mergers & Acquisitions

Be prepared for M & A Fallout
M & A’s currently appear to be the most popular approach to accelerate corporate growth. To succeed in the M & A space takes tremendous preparation, research, due diligence, negotiation and implementation. Another area that also requires special attention and preparation is the merging of the different corporate cultures. Many companies experiencing M & A growth will agree that in many cases the most difficult area to contend with is the merging of people, employee expectations, turn over in staff and most significantly fear of loss. This topic gives a step by step approach that blends each culture through identifying how to honour each merging employee’s values and expectations.


Higher Selling

Become a Sales Expert
Sales expertise is very rare. There are three levels of sales performance, sales enthusiasts, sales professionals and sales experts. Learn how to graciously develop into a highly sought after and envied sales expert. Sales experts attract not wish sales results. Being a Sales Expert ultimately increases personal and professional self confidence, self esteem and self belief which results in accelerated sales results that will inevitably sustain.

Gracious Selling
A sales performer is only as good as their next sale. Gracious selling is a higher level selling technique. This higher level sales technique takes “what is in it for the customer or client” to a whole new level. Being gracious encourages consistent referrals, repeat business and increased revenue, commissions and bonuses. Once you experience the difference you will never again sell without grace.


Higher Marketing

Are You Marketing Yourself Successfully?
The customer or client is buying “you” first. The product or service you represent is a bonus. Learn how to create a self branding mechanism that will confidently raise your marketing visibility. Leading with what makes you unique will immediately separate you from the usual marketing mediocrity. Once you realize that the client or customer is buying you first positive sustainable results are instantly experienced.


Entrepreneurship

Reality MBA
Many executives and professionals are opting for entrepreneurship over working for someone else. Working for someone else and owning your own business represent two totally different experiences. Reality MBA puts the reality in and takes the romance out of owning a small business.
Learn whether or not you have what it takes to build a successful business.

Build Your Business with an Exit Strategy in Mind
In order to succeed, one must build with the end in mind. At the same time know how the business will fail not only how it will succeed. Once you can identify how the business will fail an action plan is built to solve all seen and unforeseen areas that will sabotage the business. Once this cleansing is accomplished the business owner may move confidently forward to enjoy the success originally envisioned.
