Leadership Circle

The purpose of the Leadership Circle? For you to gain valuable information from me and other not-for-profit leaders that will deliver immediate results for your organization.

These twice a month calls give you specifics to help you set and achieve goals and face the challenges of a not-for-profit leader. Each month one call will be focused on a specific topic that will keep you up to date and motivated to build success personally and in your organization. The second call will be a Q & A session. You can submit questions and I will provide “laser coaching” to help you discover the best solutions. In addition, it is a great time to share your information and ideas with other not-for-profit leaders.

In addition, you will receive recordings of the phone calls for you personal use and library.

Setting and Achieving Your Goals

“This unique process allows you to crystallize those things that are important to you both in your organization and in your personal life…”

Every successful individual or organization has a plan. You need to know where you are today and what you want to accomplish in the future. However, just knowing what you want to accomplish is only the first component of a successful equation. The balance of a successful life is achieved by developing the specific plan and action steps necessary to accomplish that plan.

As we work through the Setting and Achieving Goals program, we will facilitate a process to help identify and prioritize your defined measurements for success, and help you develop a specific plan of action through questionnaires, assessments, and goal achievement.

The Process: The Setting and Achieving Goals program is a structured, dynamic approach to goal achievement and personal success. This unique process allows you to crystallize those things that are important to you in your organization and in your personal life, which helps you to define the plan to see those things come to fruition.

Leadership Development

“A leader creates his or her own future and drives the future success of an organization.”

The challenge has never been greater! In today’s environment of accelerating change and increasing uncertainty, only leaders who know who they are and where they are going will succeed. Today’s leaders must do more than manage change. They must thrive on it!

A leader combines the vision and curiosity of a dreamer with the practical skills of an architect. A leader is goal directed, looking forward with anticipation toward attainment of measurable outcome goals. Goals give an effective leader meaning and purpose and serve as a continuous source of motivation in pursuit of organizational and individual success.

To most effectively lead others, consider mastering the art of self-leadership. Understanding who you are and what gives your live value will help you establish your life’s purpose and pursue it with confidence, skill, and commitment. Think what would happen if you actually knew where you are going and how you are going to get there!

The Leadership Development Process is a structured, open-ended, and pragmatic approach to leadership growth. The process is designed to help individuals develop the attitudes, skills, and qualities necessary for personal and organizational leadership.

Three Essential Elements

Attitude Development: In order to create an environment of positive attitudes and possibility thinking, it is important for a leader to understand where and how attitudes are formed and how those attitudes are developed.

Interpersonal Skills: Much of what a leader is involved in, and therefore accomplishes, involves other people. To be effective in this continuous challenge it is important to learn, understand, and use interpersonal skills effectively.

Goal Setting: Leadership, among other things, is the process of providing organizational direction and accomplishing necessary objectives. The goal accomplishment model provides the tools and processes necessary to achieve more goals, more often, in order to maximize results and outcomes.
