Lead With Purpose

Lead with Purpose (LWP) is a leadership development process designed to help you become more intentional in your leadership development and in the way you develop others to lead. In this highly interactive process you will receive, and experience, practical tools that will allow you to intentionally lead more effectively and meet the challenges of today’s rapidly changing workplace.

By applying the leadership fundamentals found in LWP, participants will achieve increased levels of success and productivity by:

• Building Trust through Personal Integrity
• Influencing Others by Adding Value to Their Lives
• Being more Authentic, Vulnerable, Present, Courageous and Responsible
• Identifying and Solving Problems — and Preventing Their Recurrence
• Truly Serving Others and the Organization
• Prioritizing (working smarter, not harder)
• Developing Future Successors
• Challenging, Coaching, and Inspiring toward results
• Defining and Articulating a Compelling Vision for Your Organization or Team

LWP focuses on two areas that make up the life of a leader:

• Life Below The Waterline speaks to the heart of a leader and focuses on his or her character.
• Life Above The Waterline addresses the mind of the leader, developing the strategies, skills and methods of leadership.

Lead with Purpose focuses on the human side of leader-ship and what is necessary to achieve sustainable long term results from those you lead and influence. This program helps you discover your “Why” for leading and develops your “How” to lead.
