Connections Leadership Journey™ Program Overview

EDGE on Authentic Leadership
Explore the foundational elements of Authentic Leadership through a transformational process of leveraging self-awareness and reflection that translates to effective leadership that builds high performing teams and strengthens cultures.

DiSC® Catalyst™ – Everyday Connections
Learners develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others with a personalized profile to gain insights about your preferences in the workplace, and learn how to flex and adapt to meet the needs of team members. Everything DiSC^® on Catalyst™ includes access to the online platform for deeper insights and continued learning.

Listening to Inspire Engagement
Examine the pillars of engagement and how they create a thriving culture. Leaders are instrumental in creating an environment where employees are involved in, enthusiastic about, and committed to their work and workplace. Leaders who listen are able to create trustworthy relationships where employees feel heard and understood.

Unleash the Power of Teamwork
Teambuilding requires a balance of results-driven leadership with relationships in building a high performing team through using the personalized profile from The Five Behaviors^®. Practical tools are shared for leaders to evaluate how their team is functioning and develop strategies to course correct. Learn to keep the team connected, whether they are working from home or in the office.

Maximizing Performance & Development
To set the employee up for success, leaders need to be skilled at giving crystal-clear instruction so the employee understands, acts, and gets it right the first time. One of the pillars of employee engagement is employees knowing what their roles and responsibilities are. Using a collaborative approach engages employees in their own development by providing a practical tool for employees to share their level of expertise in their area of responsibility and aligning this with what they need from you as a leader.

EASE of Coaching
Leaders build relationships of trust when they support employees to be all they can be. Coaching from everyday feedback, to one-on-one scheduled meetings for support and career development, to positive discipline are integral to the fabric of a learning culture. Leaders who are directly involved in coaching benefit from using practical coaching tools and processes to unleash the potential of each employee. 

Sparking Empathy with Productive Conflict
Everything DiSC® Productive Conflict helps learners improve self-awareness around conflict behaviours. Rather than focus on a step-by-step process for conflict resolution, Everything DiSC® Productive Conflict helps leaders curb destructive behaviours so that conflict can become more productive, ultimately improving workplace results and relationships.

Navigating Change in a Thriving Culture
As a leader responsible for leading change, you need to gauge your openness to change as your employees will be more likely to adapt to changes you support. Consider a proven model to use to guide yourself and employees through the internal transition that follows external change. Using a staged approach to communicating and managing change, you can be prepared to set clear milestones and monitor progress towards achieving a successful change initiative.
