CS4L
The Coaching Skills Program for Leaders
CS4L is not about teaching you what a good leader looks like or what is required of you to become one-you already know this.
This program will radically transform your leadership and teams by leveraging one or two fundamental behavioural shifts. You will experience more engagement, ownership and accountability from yourself and your team which will free up more of your time and expertise for your own role.
Organizations with higher levels of engagement have 27% higher profits, 38% higher productivity and 50% higher customer loyalty.
CS4L is a public offering to increase the richness and breadth of experience from which you can learn in session AND so that it is more accessible.
CS4L is a virtual offering rendering it both time and cost effective for in person and remote workers alike.
