They know how to open others to their ideas and exert influence.

Participants will build influencing skills, increase other’s trust and confidence in them as leaders, and develop a willingness in others to be open to and adopt their ideas.

• Are your leaders approachable?
• Do they embody the core values of your organization?
• Can they bring their vision and strategy to life and create followership?

A recent study by Executive Development Associates * reports that the ability to develop a successful business strategy is no longer enough for today’s executives. The most successful organizations will be the ones with leaders who can create a compelling vision, and who can convey that vision to customers and employees with authenticity and impact.

Vision and Strategy to Action is a powerful program that increases a leader’s self-awareness and builds critical presence and communication skills necessary for leading in an increasingly complex business environment.

It is no surprise that in the past decade individualized coaching has become an accepted practice in the corporate world. Having a thought partner during critical transitions can accelerate a leader’s development and enable a higher level of confidence, effectiveness and contribution.
