Personal Excellence for Leaders

Personal Excellence for Leaders – Increasing Personal & Professional Competence

It has been said that a lack of self-awareness contributes to 80-90% of workplace problems. With greater self-understanding and awareness, leaders are better equipped to meet the demands of leadership and to excel in competencies such as: accountability, managing change, coaching & developing others, relationship building, service excellence and more.

Throughout this workshop, in addition to content rich teaching segments, participants are led through a variety of individual and group exercises and discussions to provide in-depth self-understanding and self-awareness in order to increase leadership performance and bottom line business results. The foundational philosophy of Personal Excellence for Leaders is personal accountability and responsibility. This workshop helps participants recognize and change behaviours that impede leadership excellence.
