Accelerating Purposeful Leadership E-Learning

The Accelerating Purposeful Leadership program reveals the core habits and practices that help leaders at all levels develop and strengthen their teams. It also covers what not to do, and how to avoid the bad habits that can arise despite – and occasionally because of – a leader’s best intentions.

Designed for leaders of people, this program will offer value both to seasoned veterans and those new to a leadership role. If you are looking to get the most out of your team, this program will help chart the path.

Course Topics

No one likes having tough conversations. Use these essential steps to keep Difficult Conversations on track while ensuring you get the behaviour change required.

Practice core active listening skills, and learn the model that everyone from frontline employees to the C-suite can use.

Leaders have a huge impact on their team’s performance. Despite our best intentions, sometimes our leadership efforts can unintentionally be working against us. Learn how to recognize and offset the behaviours that could be weighing your team down.

Learn the secrets of motivation, and see the three things that any employee needs to perform at their best.

Effective coaching moments start with asking the right questions. This module frames questions as problem-solving tools, and provides simple coaching tactics to make your conversations more productive.

Successful leaders have one skill in common: they are constantly adapting. Learn how to start building real habits to ramp up your leadership game.

We all use incentives to motivate our employees. But how do we know if they’re working? Explore the features of an effective recognition program, and the pitfalls that could cause your incentives to backfire.
