For participants to see and experience the power of being more coach-like.

Coaching is a powerful leadership behaviour. But coaching comes with baggage: it’s difficult, it’s “HR”, it’s a black box. This session helps “unweird” coaching, and provides five questions that can make coaching an everyday leadership act.

By the time we’re done, participants will have:

- Learned about the three vicious circles of leadership … and which one they’re stuck in
- Measured how they split their time between Bad, Good and Great Work
- Confessed to at least one of the five reasons they’re skeptical about coaching right now
- Worked through the Five Key Questions, including the Best Coaching Question in the World

Based on Michael’s best-selling book, The Coaching Habit.

For participants who want to shift their leadership style to say less and ask more.

Curiosity is a leadership superpower. But while it’s easy in theory, in practice it’s difficult. This session explores the deeper barriers to staying curious, and helps participants tame their Advice Monster.

By the time we’re done, participants will have:

- Seen the different between Easy Change and Hard Change – and why it matters
- Identified which of the three Advice Monsters is their Advice Monster
- Quantified the price they and others pay for the Advice Monster being in control
- Generated strategies for taming their Advice Monster

Based on Michael’s best-selling book, The Advice Trap.

For participants who want to consistently show up at their best.

We’ve all had a sense of ourselves at our best: when we’re clever, generous, strategic, and proactive. We also know how easy it is to get knocked off our stride, and become less smart, less generous, less strategic, and reactive. This session provides the two best tools to navigate your way back to being your best.

By the time we’re done, participants will have

- Explored three common ways we get knocked off our stride
- Worked with a tool to help “move towards the light”: return to the best version of themselves
- Worked with a tool to help “move away from the dark”: avoid the lesser versions of themselves
- Identified when and where they’ll best deploy those tools

For participants to get clear, get courageous and get going on work that matters.

One of our greatest fears is a meaningless life. One of the certain ways to create a life of meaning is to do more of the work that matters. This session provides the tools to help find and start a worthy goal.

- Understood we unlock our greatness by taking on the hard things
- Learned the three attributes of a Worthy Goal
- Understand the choices required to fully commit to a Worthy Goal
- Designed the first “small steps” across the threshold for their worthy goal
