Change Challenges and Choices
We don't often choose what changes are coming at us and the challenges they bring. How we respond determines whether the changes move us forward or set us back. We have three choices; Lead (capitalizing on changes), Follow (just getting by), or Wallow (living in “Pity City”.)
Keys to Leading Change
Fear, cynicism, and negativity are the biggest obstacles to meaningful change. To overcome these major barriers, leaders must more effectively engage and involve staff, by challenging them to step up and embrace critical leadership roles.
The High Performance Balance: Managing Things and Leading People
High performing teams and organizations balance the discipline of systems, processes, and technology management on a base of effective people leadership. Leading with the heart inspires greater confidence and dedication to meaningful change toward more successful outcomes for everyone.
Soft Skills, Hard Results
Emotions, morale, perceptions, and energy are powerful catalysts propelling teams and organizations to peak performance. Harnessing the power of Emotional Intelligence to lead from the inside out builds the strong leadership skills that produce outstanding results.

One Day Workshop Series
For almost thirty years Jim Clemmer has worked with individuals, teams and organizations to develop leaders at every level. And if there is one lesson he's learned, it's that leadership clearly is the key to success when times are good and especially when challenges arise. Developing the “soft skills” often associated with leadership, and aligning them with organizational goals is critical in an increasingly competitive and rapidly changing world.
But despite the widespread acknowledgement of the importance of leadership, many “change fatigued” development professionals and managers struggle with how to strengthen personal, team and organizational effectiveness.
Whether you attend this one day Leading @ the Speed of Change: Practical Leadership Development for Peak Performance Workshop as an individual or as a member of a team, you will get:
Practical and concrete leadership actions you can apply on the fly;
Implementable strategies for successfully managing change;
Tips, tools and techniques to help you thrive in an environment of constant change.
