Coaching: Leadership for the 21st Century

A 2-day workshopto galvanize leaders at all levelsfor extraordinary results

2

Why a “Coaching: Leadership for the 21st Century” workshop?• Three developments in the late 20th century have changed

the leadership landscape: - waves of democratization and flattening organizational hierarchies.- the internet and the rise of the virtual team.- the rise of the knowledge worker and free agent.

• There is more opportunity to lead than ever before.

• But how should you lead now? No one leader has the whole complex picture. The old command-and-control model is obsolete.

• Coaching is the leadership model that works for the 21st century.

(speaking, listening, emotional intelligence).

• It practices the 12 building blocks of masterful coaching.

• It aligns teams around bold goals.

• It enables participants to declare and launch initiatives to cause immediate breakthrough results – in cost, speed or quality.

• It fosters breakthroughs in people’s ability to lead.

What makes “Coaching: Leadership” different?• Participants see the workshop not as a mere event, but as a

process:- we interview key participants to customize workshops- we design workshops in partnership with team leaders- we care about “Monday morning”: can participants apply and sustain their new competencies afterwards?

• Participants go beyond theory: they design, declare and launch breakthrough initiatives that enable them to learn leadership and coaching in the action.

• Participants use Thomas D. Zweifel’s path-breaking book Communicate or Die: Getting Results Through Speaking and Listening (SelectBooks 2003, Global Leader Series) as a reference in the whole process.

What does “Coaching: Leadership” cost?• The typical fee for a 2-day workshop is US$20,000.

• The results participants cause typically represent many multiples of the investment.

What have participants said about our workshops?• Swiss Consulting Group is far more effective and is of far greater

value for money... Many one day or two day courses fire you up but do not put in place any back up system to let you channel your new enthusiasm once you are back in the office. Swiss Consulting Group has a very different approach which is far more inspiring and supports you long term.”

• “You were standing in our success as though it were your own. It is safe to say that without your input we would not be facing what we all now see as an extraordinarily bright future.”

• “The essence of coaching is awareness of myself. I broke through the basic rules that I had imposed on myself.”

• "We need more people like you."
