"Excellent catalyst for teamwork breakthroughs. The learning that takes place is very dynamic and hard to capture in a manual. But how many training manuals do you have sitting on a shelf gathering dust? Vision Leadership has the perfect balance of business savvy and creativity to meet the needs to a changing business environment and maximize the talents of the people who can make a difference."

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT



Strong leadership is a balancing act. It requires us to navigate the complexities at hand, and at the same time discern future possibilities. It demands sophisticated assessment, generative action, and an inspiring vision for the journey ahead. It's like peering through a microscope with one eye and a telescope with the other—while keeping the present moment on track.

How do we cultivate this dynamic balance, in ourselves and in others, especially in the face of organizational and individual challenges? Often easier said than done!

We believe the most effective and fulfilling leadership is full of wisdom, insight, authenticity, and a spirit for inquiry. It uses appreciation and guidance to unfold latent potentials, and motivate others toward positive outcomes they may not yet perceive. It compels true team performance.

We also believe most individuals can greatly increase their leadership capacity. Therefore we offer carefully crafted leadership development programs designed to impart powerful tools for the care and development of your organization's most valuable resource: creative and committed leaders at every level.

The Art of Coaching is our entry-level leadership development workshop. It takes place on a hub-and-spoke high challenge course. The challenge would seem to be the elevation of the course. But very soon participants realize that the real challenge is to develop the skills, courage, compassion and ability to inspire and guide others toward extraordinary results. What makes the Art of Coaching one of our best offerings: in this full day of sustained peak performance, participants learn coaching from every angle—being coached, coaching others, and witnessing the coaching interactions unfolding around them. Classroom-based artificial coaching exercises and role-plays pale in comparison.

Beyond the Art of Coaching, our more extensive programs invite participants to enlarge their capacities for identifying and responding to complex adaptive challenges, reaching beyond their current level of thinking, commitment and action to consistently produce radical breakthroughs—ones which could not have been predicted from past performance.

The Transformational Leadership Intensive is our deepest exploration of the power of leadership. It unfolds over the course of a year, in modules scheduled several months apart. It is dedicated to getting to know oneself (a point grossly overlooked by most leadership development programs), as well as one's vision as a leader. Individualized follow-up work will address how to then manifest the greater understanding of vision and leadership we've developed. This is an advanced program for change agents.
