TWO-DAY EVENT – Sept 21-22, 2010   9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. each day

Accelerate your success! Attend this exhilarating 2-day training program and master the strategic leadership skills required to perform at your absolute peak.

The question most often asked  from leaders today is, “What’s next?” What they’re really asking is, “What’s the next step I should take in my professional development to get to the next level in my career?”

If you’re truly serious about building the leadership expertise that will fuel your organization’s success and drive your career to new heights, there’s only one answer: enroll in the Strategic Leadership Skills intensive two-day seminar.

Here’s why:

If you’re like most managers and supervisors, you’re trapped in the ‘day to day’ activities of the workplace. You’re answering questions … calling the shots …putting out fires … setting priorities and then rearranging priorities based on an ever-changing climate. You spend hours in meetings with colleagues and higher-ups. And, you spend even more time and effort managing people problems.

With all you have to get done each day, it’s no wonder that you don’t have time to step back and look at the big picture. That’s where this training comes in. When you attend Strategic Leadership Skills, you’ll spend two days immersed in the conceptualizing, planning, and strategizing required to expand your leadership perspective … and dramatically improve your effectiveness!

This isn’t about theoretical stuff here; we’ll get to the heart of the issues and challenges you’re struggling with, including how to:

  • Develop a strategic vision for your team that’s aligned with your organization’s mission
  • Make better decisions by better understanding the drivers, strengths, and vulnerabilities of any tough situation
  • Improve your working relationships with your team, colleagues, and upper management
  • Successfully introduce important change initiatives with less resistance
  • Get better results from every member on your team

Years from now you’ll consider the investment you made in yourself by participating in this training to be among your smartest investments ever!

Don’t allow a busy calendar to get in the way of your career success. Make plans to attend today!

How to teach yourself and others to find innovative answers and make better decisions!

Think for a moment about the tough challenges you face today. Focus on those pain-in-the-neck problems that seem to rear their ugly heads time and time again. Now, ask yourself why you haven’t solved these challenges yet. It’s frustrating, isn’t it?

Let’s face facts: The same age-old problems will undoubtedly come back to haunt you if you continue to apply the same old problem-solving paradigms to fix them. That’s why it’s so important that you take the time to step back and rethink the way you’re approaching your challenges.

And that’s why we have created, Thinking Outside the Lines, a powerful one-day workshop guaranteed to get you thinking differently.

It’s not about thinking MORE … it’s about thinking DIFFERENTLY
This intensive workshop was made for professionals like you – key decision makers whose organizations are counting on them for both the vision and the strategic thinking skills crucial to every organization’s ongoing success.

This workshop will teach you invaluable thinking tools and techniques that lead to true breakthrough solutions. It’s a no-nonsense, results-focused day of training guaranteed to help you find better ways to approach the real-world problems you face every day.

You’ll discover how to:

  • Break unproductive thinking habits that hold you back
  • Tap into – and build upon – the potential of every idea
  • Avoid costly mistakes using “what if” thinking
  • Challenge old assumptions about how your organization “must” run
  • Empower your people to perform at higher levels by using new thinking techniques

Become a true leader who nourishes new ideas
You’ll learn how to evaluate team members’ ideas in a way that encourages – rather than squashes – their creative processes. You’ll be amazed at what your people are capable of producing once you show them how to explore in new directions!

Tap into every ounce of idea power at your disposal!
To succeed as a leader today, you’ve got to be able to tap every ounce of idea power available to you, to think and plan and make decisions in a strategic new way. Thinking Outside the Lines trains you to do exactly that – in just one intensive day spent with other key business leaders and decision makers.

Make a commitment right now to attend this innovative workshop!
