Authentic Leadership and Influence

This interactive experience has been designed to work in either in a workshop format of no more than 20 individuals, or in an executive team retreat setting. The goal is to build a confidence culture around the strengths and contributions that everyone in the leadership team brings to the table. To allow each participant to come together to clearly see just how the pieces can fit together in order to make a collective whole.

We kick off the experience with a group meditation/visualization activity that allows each participant to fully get engaged with this interactive process. From there we will take a look at the strengths to be discovered within the team and how each member contributes. How different elements of leadership types plays a part in bringing the team together. This includes the roles of: Communicator, Peacekeeper, Motivator, Visionary and Caregiver.

From here depending on the overall goal of the experience, we will break it down into workout groups or move right into the executive team strategy tactics moving forward. Complete with detailed action steps for the team to be taken if required.

Workbooks are available and can be customized as needed.

Note: This training can also include pre-work with the Gallup Strengthsfinder 2.0 assessment for each participant. The assessment will assist individuals to gain a stronger understanding of their own individual overall strengths. Then together everyone can focus on how those strengths can tap into not only their own authentic leadership style, but each other’s in touching the lives of those they lead.

Here is how what the experience from their recent strategic planning retreat was summed up:

“I reached out to Cheri having worked with her before on a myriad of different trainings to see if she would facilitate our Chamber Board’s Strategic Planning Retreat. She said “yes” and by far it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year.

Cheri suggested changing up our “normal” routine to include a bit of leadership training at the beginning. This type of training set the stage to move into the next phase of Goals and Objectives. But this year, my Board looked at the Goals and Objectives through the lens of what “leadership skills” they (the Board members) brought to the Chamber Board and how that fashions the Strategic Plan.

When you have several Board members share with you how significant the leadership portion was for them as we moved forward to establish the Strategic Plan, I knew we hit a home run. That home run was achieved by hiring Cheri to facilitate this event. Honored and humble to call Cheri my friend as well.”
