The Cutting Edge Series 2008

Workshop 1

How to Lead by Doing Nothing

(Day 1: 9.15 to 12.15)

A leader can make or break any organization, program or team. Yet the myths about leadership abound. Truly powerful leadership isn't about doing more and working harder, but it is about doing less. And ultimately, doing nothing at all! Yes, that's right! Whether you are in a leadership role with volunteers, paid staff, colleagues or others, your greatest leadership success will come from your ability to do nothing.

To find out how, join me on Day 1 for Workshop 1 and in just a half day you will discover:

	Why learning to do nothing will ensure your leadership success
	Why striving to be a super-efficient leader will ultimately destroy you and your team
	How you can use the awesome power of focus to achieve more but do less
	How to discover the hidden strengths and talents of those around you and inspire them to greater success
	What are the absolutely critical skills that all great leaders have in common and you do too
	How you can use simple but powerful communication skills to motivate others to perform at their best
	What are the biggest time drainers for leaders and how to overcome them
	How to convert all your meetings from mundane to magnificent
	What leadership styles are really the most effective in working with others

Please Note: This half-day workshop is open to everyone in a leadership role. Whether your leadership role is with paid staff, volunteers or with others this workshop is for you!

Workshop 3

How to Build Terrific Teams

(Day 2: 9.15 to 12.15)

A team, whether it's 2 people or 200, is the backbone of any organization, large or small. Teams can achieve more quicker and faster than any one individual alone. Yet few people know the secrets to building truly terrific teams. It all starts with conflict. Yes, that's right! Conflict and lots of it and that's just the beginning.

So join me, on Day 2 for Workshop 3 where we'll take the art of building great teams and teamwork, whether with volunteers or paid staff to a whole new level and explore:

 

	Why conflict is critical in developing terrific teams and how to use it effectively
	The two questions the most innovative teams continually ask themselves
	The simplest and yet most effective strategies to deal with power plays in any team
	How powerful peer pressure is in any team and how to turn it to the team's advantage
	Why teamwork is about knowing when to work together and when to pull apart
	How you can identify the main personality styles in any team and how to bring out their greatest strengths
	How deal with difficult team members and when to keep them and when to let them go
	What communication techniques are the most effective with teams of any size
	Why individualism is your strongest building block in teamwork and how to encourage it

Please note: This half-day workshop is open to everyone who is part of a team or leads a team. Whether your team consists of paid staff, volunteers or others this workshop is for you!
