Session 1: Leadership Blueprint and Courage

You’ll receive your Top 10 Leader Clifton Strengths® results and build your Leadership Blueprint as you clarify your leader values and create your purpose and plan.
Session 2: Team Growth and Empowerment

You’ll practice situational leadership SLII®, to improve your one on ones and empower your team. In addition, increase your ability to problem solve and make decisions with the power of Polarity Thinking .
Session 3: Culture and Results
Build a culture of high performance by adopting a few proven processes from the military. Increase team collaboration through a compelling direction, a strong structure, and a supportive context. Then be inspired by an industry visionary sharing future trends in finance. Generate ideas about what future services and skills your team may need to meet your customer’s changing world.
Session 4: Trust and Influence
Trust, influence, and results are interconnected. Build trust first, and your team will work faster and better. Gather valuable insights from your 360 Trust assessment and participate in Speed of Trust ™ - a highly rated Franklin Covey program. You will learn a presentation method that uses brain science to influence decision makers. Then, you will build and share your Trust Story. Celebrate with your peers at a graduation dinner with senior leaders.
