GGL Leadership Pyramid
Vision lets you see the way

Vision
Vision lets you see your work as part of life and its purpose. Vision aligns you to the work, energy and focus required to reach your goals and targets. And when you find vison for yourself, you become the example to your team and peers on how they can do the same.



When you connect vision to your work, many avenues are open to you, such as:



• Fulfillment even in the mundane tasks

• Extra energy at the end of long days

• Centeredness in your approach

• Greater clarity in addressing challenges

• Deeper wisdom in facing all that comes with leadership



Finding your individual purpose and living it daily is the pinnacle level of inspirational leadership. We can assist you in that discovery by designing a workshop for key leaders, intact teams or provide 1-1 coaching for individual leaders.

Recharge gives us strength and resilience to start anew.

Recharge
What a great thought, the ability to recharge and renew your focus daily. Recharge is a principle that adds longevity and passion to any leader.



Whether under pressure, in the midst of change and chaos, or just under daily stress, learning to recharge your battery and heart will strengthen your ongoing leadership. Recharging daily can assist you to:



• Keep your energy and productivity high

• Make tough decisions with sureness

• Stay powerfully engaged

• Think on your feet while in the heat

• Impact others with power and clarity

• Rebound quickly from daily stress

• Increase your leadership courage

• Be an example to others of balanced composure



Gain your own toolbox to build “corporate fitness” and recharge daily. Select from a workshop, series of 1-1 coaching sessions, or sign up for 7 Principles of Well Being offered throughout the year.
Change is our opportunity to step into right now.

Change
To manage change requires the ability to embrace change personally. That means being the example that the change being faced is worthwhile, doable and ultimately can answer the question, “What’s In It For Me?” That’s a person’s “WIIFM.”



Embracing change is a huge part of leadership. It takes courage and balance to set the tone that can encourage others, provide hope that it is worth the time and effort, and the change will be beneficial. Or you don’t set that tone, and let people scramble on their own, resulting with pain, fallout, war and stress that could have been redirected through leadership.



Change is a principle that works through communication , decision making, interpersonal dynamics and teambuilding. The learning arena for change can be in a 1-1 coaching session for a key decision maker or customized workshop for an entire team/department.
Conflict Hearty makes you strong

Conflict Hearty
This leadership principle instructs us on how to redirect “war” into healthy conflict. War puts us in right/wrong and win at all costs, which usually results in attacking or retreating behavior, particularly in high pressure situations. Often this war mode is internal, inside ourselves, long before it’s showcased to others.



With a healthy conflict hearty approach, we learn to:



• Observe the energy coming at us

• Go to discovery to gather more information

• Find a solution together

• Train others to be conflict hearty too



When faced with criticism, rejection or uncertainty, most of us easily can slide into the war mode. It takes courage to stay balanced and present when the heat is on. And that courage can be built with awareness and discipline.



As a leader, learning to be conflict hearty means you get more accomplished, derail less often and develop the courage and ability face greater challenges.



Learning the skill of becoming Conflict Hearty can transform a team from average output to exceptional productivity. This can be learned in a workshop setting or through 1-1 coaching sessions. See below to explore more.

Communication starts and ends with our own perceptions.

Communication
What is business without communication? What is a powerful company or dynamic team without strong communication skills? We design and facilitate communication training and coaching for busy executives, mid-level managers and front-line teams:



• Anger Management

• Behavioral Styles

• Coaching for Results

• Conflict Resolution

• Customer Service

• Diversity Training

• E-Mail Communication Guidelines

• Facilitating Communication

• Interpersonal Communication Skills

• Media Training

• Presentation Skills

• Projecting Your Power and Presence



Read these areas of interest in communication. If something jumps out at you, call us. Let’s discuss what steps you can take now.

Team Building
That means essential for productivity and profits now, and essential for building the team in order to handle future business upturn and expansion.



If productivity in your team is being impacted due to morale, transitions, conflict, change, baggage, lack of trust, or leadership issues, we can assist. We turn “gangs” into teams, who learn to apply their own individuality while working through each other’s strengths, differences and work styles. As teamwork is attained, magical outcomes and productive results surface with speed and ease.



We design team building workshops and events for large and small groups, for stand alone events or quarterly professional development. We make learning fun, relevant, interactive and directly applicable for lasting change.

Power and Presence are principles to develop over your lifetime

Power and Presence
Many people have the knowledge and understanding to get things done and achieve results within your company. Yet, the ability to “show up” with your power and presence intact, in both formal and informal environments, takes discipline. Longstanding results come from being able to get your point across, stay present, navigate through conflict and impact key decision makers.



This is a career acceleration training that gets people on the “right bus” headed towards promotability and recognition. The training equips individuals with the awareness, social tools, interpersonal saavy and business focus needed in order to demonstrate powerful communication. You will learn how to:



• Manage non-verbal communication

• Impact an audience or key decision maker

• Enter a room with power and fill it with your presence

• Speak your thoughts succinctly

• Manage informal gatherings

• Dress with power and appeal

• Present with your power and presence strong

• Develop a strong sense of power and sureness

• Manage perceptions of others

• Course correct; after a tough interaction or presentation

• Be socially adept and discerning with any level of the organization

• Appeal to others’ integrity and character

• Manage social graces: introductions, handshakes, compliments, good-byes

• Seize opportunities to magnetize and shine

Appreciating Differences is a key to learning.

Appreciating Differences
Great leadership, management and communication require the awareness of appreciating the differences among team members and peers. Our preferences, needs, wants and desires all impact how we approach our work and achievements.



This phase of leadership development is a fun, expansive area, learning about the five different communication, behaviors and approaches that achieve results but from different angles. The focus of learning is on:



• Understanding your own work style

• Understanding the style of others

• How to adapt your style to others for greater communication and impact

• Strengthening the team by understanding everyone’s approach

• How to impact others by incorporating their style into your approach

• Redirecting/reducing conflict via understanding of style differences

• Incorporating new approaches for inclusive communication



We use an assessment that can be administered as pre-work or filled out together as part of a workshop. This is a powerful focus in a teambuilding event, leadership training or 1-1 coaching.

Courage and Character are at the base of the pyramid for a reason

Courage and Character
At the base of all leadership development, as illustrated with the leadership pyramid, lies courage and character. Raw leadership is based on the amount of courage and character an individual has developed and is willing to demonstrate on a daily basis. Without leadership courage, leaders are limited in their communication, decision-making, team building and vision.



But as leadership courage and character develops, the impossible becomes reachable, the daunting becomes doable, and the ability to inspire greatness in team members become commonplace.



Where do you go to develop courage? How do you increase your character “bank account?” We design the interactive environment where courage, boldness, intuition, discovery and willingness can be encouraged and showcased. Likewise, we assist leaders to release the blocks that hinder their greatness, getting them current with what they can do, produce and inspire today. As a result, individuals learn to:



• Lead themselves

• Lead their team

• Lead their organization



There is nothing quite so awesome as watching an individual stand up to their abilities and embrace their capacity for courageous leadership. History books should be filled with these moments.
