““Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.””
Leadership Development Workshops
Q&A’s cohort-based leadership development workshops are structured to help create sustained performance improvement within organizations. This cohort-based approach builds trust and breaks down communication silos, leading to ongoing collaboration and conversation. We offer workshops in segments over time and supplement them by group, peer, and individual coaching as necessary, in addition to small-group work between sessions. This enables leaders to put their learning to work in actual work situations with support from workshop facilitators and their peers. The result: increased productivity and increased engagement.
Workshop topics vary depending on the needs of your organization. We design a leadership development program with you based on your specific needs. Workshop topics include:
- Womenship℠
- Leading through Change
- Leading with Confidence and Strength
- Creating Trust, Collaboration and Accountability through Effective Communications
- Initiating and Engaging in Powerful Conversations
- Achieving Breakthrough Results
- Building a Culture of Agility
- Conflict Resolution: Having the Hard Conversations
““Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.””
Team Coaching
Team coaching creates an environment of trust at a level allowing a team to work at its highest potential. Unlike team building, team coaching is done in real-time over the course of several months. Q&A works with your team to help them understand and acquire team models, methods and tools, to improve your team’s effectiveness and performance and to integrate integrating those skills and experiences as they work toward meeting your organization’s goals.
““When a group of intelligent people come together to talk about issues that matter, it is both natural and productive for disagreement to occur. Resolving those issues is what makes a meeting productive, engaging, even fun.””
Facilitation
Some meetings go beyond routine and are crucial to the future of your organization. Q&A partners with leaders to structure and run meetings, workshops or retreats that produce results. Facilitation is particularly important for meetings such as strategic planning retreats that often bring emotions and strong opinions to the forefront of discussion. Q&A’s facilitators harness those thoughts and emotions to move the participants toward their stated goal.
““Feedback is the breakfast of champions.””
Assessments
Self-awareness is the foundation of leadership excellence. It is forms the basis for developing leadership skills, as you must know where you are before going someplace new. Understanding yourself can help you to understand others, which is crucial for building relationships that enable effective leadership. On a team level assessments foster appreciation of what the other team members bring to the table and where differences might cause friction. Q&A offers assessments that teach leaders and teams about themselves in a way that leads to positive transformation.
