“Leaders become great not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others.” – John Maxwell

Join us for a workshop over coffee! Leadership is no longer about telling people what to do, it’s about inspiring your people to solve problems on their own and achieve a common vision.

So how do you do it?

How do you get the balance right between clear guidance and autonomy? How you do you achieve a high level of performance without being a micromanager?

In this interactive workshop, we’ll show how you can empower, rather than micromanage, your team to make a shared vision a reality through two critically important tools: powerful one-to-one conversations and radically honest feedback. At the end of the workshop, we’ll create a personal leadership roadmap to help you put your learnings into action.
