When is my approach recommended?
When:
development is required that is better addressed by general skills training
support for the team is not required over a period of time

My approach
My approach is based on our knowledge of optimum ways to accelerate learning. It includes a variety of methods to do this, and it should be noted that these are highly participative - learning is through thinking then doing then reflection.
A core framework for the Achieving Congruence Seminar includes four interrelating seminars. These incorporate both personal and interpersonal leading essential to becoming an impactful leader. The core framework is as follows:
Seminar I: Mastery of Strategic Leadership
Understanding the system in which one is operating
Strategic analysis
Strategic thinking
Seminar II: Mastery of Personal Leadership
Vision and action
Mental Maps and the assumptions we make
Becoming congruent
Seminar III: Mastery of Interpersonal Leadership
Taking the perspective of others (followers) in the system
Understanding others (followers) different thinking styles
Recognising others (followers) intention
Seminar IV: Mastery of Communication and Influence – Sustaining Change
Developing verbal and non-verbal skills
The language of leadership
The above, typically would be run over a number of – but not necessarily consecutive - days, but again there is flexibility here in terms of both format and content both of which can be shaped to meet your needs.
Characteristics of the workshops that promote learning
These are:
group size is kept to a a maximum of twelve
a safe, confidential environment is created
learning is experiential
goal setting - defining clearly defined outcomes is integral to the workshops
integration of workshop outcomes with personal, team and organisational needs is integral to the workshops
