Prior to Session 1, participants will complete MindSet’s Backbone and Heart leadership assessment instrument to identify likely leadership strengths and possible growth opportunities for the program.

Setting the stage for the rest of the sessions, we will examine foundational understandings and insights used by successful leaders.  We will then cover how outstanding leaders can use their power and influence to develop otherwise ordinary employees into stars.

Great companies are populated by employees who feel a deep sense of pride and ownership for their company.  In this session, we will cover proven techniques that leaders can use to instill pride in their workforce, as well as discuss why pride is the most effective long-term motivator for employee productivity and organizational success.  This session will also include actionable ideas that leaders can use to better recognize employees who contribute to the company’s success, thereby helping leaders convey to employees that their company appreciates them and their work.

A lot has been written about the value of communication in organizations, yet no topic in leadership training seems to be more vague or mushy than “communication.”  This session will help attendees view the topic of communication more clearly, empowering each individual to identify opportunities to enhance their ability to communicate effectively.  We will discuss the power of active listening, help attendees learn some fundamental coaching skills, and share several tips to lead more effective meetings.  We will also discuss takeaways from Dale Carnegie’s classic book, How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Few things are more basic to business success than setting a long-term vision and then making effective daily decisions to arrive at that goal.  This session teaches potent decision-making techniques, looks at effective goal setting practices, and shares practical advice for managing a team toward those objectives.

Leadership often brings with it the challenge of managing conflict.  For many leaders, this constitutes single greatest source of stomach acid and professional disaffection.  However, without conflict, it is impossible for an organization to innovate and continually chase excellence.  In this session we’ll give tips to spur positive intellectual conflict while controlling damaging interpersonal conflict within a workgroup.

Almost every company has a noticeable bottom 5-10% – those employees who contribute little to its success while making life miserable everyone in their purview.  Participants will learn to identify, engage, control, provide effective feedback to, and to either improve or remove these problem employees.

Even the best teams will occasionally become dysfunctional, and they seldom right themselves without the intervention of competent and purposeful leadership.  In this last session, participants will learn to monitor and create 15 characteristics of effective teams.

MindSet endeavors to Match each Propel participant with the cohort group that will fit them best.  While no matching process can ever be perfect, MindSet will make our best effort to place each participant in a group that will best fit their schedule and goals for the program.

When a registrant completes their application for the program, they will be asked to indicate their preferred days and times for sessions, their experience level and goals.  Based on this information, and a few other considerations, MindSet will match groups of 8-12 participants and announce the schedules for the entire program in early April. 

MindSet will review all enrolled participants and match them into groups of 8-12 participants each.

If a participants is registered by the end of March, they will be notified of the exact time/date/location for all seven of their sessions by April 9^th at the latest.

If a participant is registered in April, we will work on providing their schedule as soon as possible – either by forming a new group or adding them to the appropriate pre-existing group.

Participants should expect to have one session each month from May to November 2019.  For any questions about scheduling, contact MindSet at info@gomindset.com or (402) 980-3344.
