Why this program works
The ‘A+’ Leader Development Program and Mastermind is designed to give CEOs and executive leaders the freedom to work ON business strategies – while team members take over operations that drive goals, growth, and profit.
In our program, key leaders develop the skills, competencies, and behaviors necessary to take full responsibility for business operations. This leadership approach drives team members forward to consistently deliver high level, sustainable results. Owner/CEOs learn to let go and trust that things will run smoothly… even when they’re not around.
Our ‘A+’ Leader Development Program and Mastermind takes the pressure off CEOs by developing key leaders, step-by-step. We teach them how to effectively lead and manage team members, both in the business and people part. All roles (including CEO) learn to focus energy on their identified functions and what matters most.
Let’s face it… as an entrepreneur, you didn’t go into business thinking, “I better hurry up and learn how to attract, retain, lead, manage, support, train, and develop a high-performing team.” (Even though you probably know that your team is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT to your long term success.)
Our purpose and passion is to provide the expertise and support businesses need to achieve the kind of team transformation that entrepreneurs almost never achieve on their own. This gives leaders the confidence to let go of the reins and focus time and energy on the things that expand a company’s vision… and really move the needle!
A+ Leaders that have been through the program say…
Building a high-performance team begins with developing your KEY LEADERS —
These are the leaders who can take meaningful responsibilities off your plate, deliver results, and lead, manage and develop others to do the same. But developing leaders and team is the type of competency that most entrepreneurs do not possess—if they did, they probably wouldn’t be entrepreneurs. At the same time, poor leadership and an undeveloped team is a show-stopping limiter of growth for these companies. However, most entrepreneurial companies can’t afford the custom consulting work and PHD level trainers that can actually get results.
We developed our ‘A+’ Leader Development Program and Mastermind to address exactly this entrepreneurial company need. It’s a cost-effective, twelve-month training program in which we (Annie and the training team) teach key leaders to step up, take ownership of, and actually drive the operations of the business—while also learning to lead, manage and develop a team.
Leadership is best learned in an interactive setting, where registrants share experiences with others in similar roles; they learn from real life examples, while also gaining valuable outside perspectives not available in their day-to-day role. At the same time, leaders receive individualized support to address their specific needs and business situations.
Therefore, we’ve organized the ‘A+’ Leader Program into the following THREE major components:
- Group Curriculum Teaching and Tools
- Individual Executive Coaching
- Peer Mastermind
Group Curriculum Teaching and Tools
We deliver the program virtually, through a structure of classes, hot-seat sessions, group implementation sessions and virtual summits. The ‘A+’ Leader Program curriculum covers fundamental business strategy, infrastructure, leadership & team performance, including:
- The Business Part: Outcome Focus and Team Operations
- The People Part: Self-Leadership and Your Leadership Impact
- Developing Secure Business Relationships
- Advanced Agreement Making, Effective Delegation and Beyond
- Team Meeting Design and Leadership
- Working with Ongoing Challenge and Change
- Decision-Making, Renegotiating, Resetting Expectations
- The Critical Thinking that Matters and How to Share it with Others
- Priorities, Managing your Time, Realigning to Outcomes
- Performance Management: Developing Yourself and Others
Individual Executive Coaching
Peer Mastermind
The Mastermind Group component of the program offers an incredible opportunity for leaders to engage with peers who are in similar roles from companies at similar stages of growth, and often in related or complementary industries. The collective learning, creative problem-solving and support in this type of network is often available to CEO’s, but rarely to entrepreneurial business leaders. We are delighted to offer this learning and connection.
The ‘A+’ Leader Development Program and Mastermind is a proven program going into its ninth year. This program enrolls almost exclusively through referrals, and open spots are limited because of the high renewal rate. We are happy to meet with anyone interested in learning more about the program and if it might be a fit for your leader(s) and your company.
