Expand the impact of both your leadership and your organization.

This course teaches you to remove the obstacles that are holding you back at three levels: personal, team, and organization.

Switching to a growth mindset will give you just the boost you need in today's environment. UNIT 1: You'll learn more about your own leadership style (through the included DiSC assessment), so you can bust out of your comfort zone and start achieving more. UNIT 2: you learn how to have better conflict conversations so you can speed up the performance of your team. Unit 3: You'll learn how to spot the patterns inside your culture that are causing friction, so you can start crushing your organizational goals. And that's just a sample (see full outline below). The growth mindset is required for leaders who want to succeed today.

What's included?

This isn't a glorified webinar. You'll get more than 7 hours of video content, backed up by templates, frameworks, and assignments for converting the content into action. Each of the three Units comes with its own assessment (personality/work style, team effectiveness, and culture patterns), all with personalized reports. We'll even send you 5 top-notch business books—all designed to help you make real changes to your leadership and your organization, like:

  • One CEO used the growth mindset to change the way his team dealt with conflict, and they started consistently finishing complex projects both ahead of schedule and under budget.

  • One trade association management team applied the growth mindset to how they track and manage organizational goals and priorities and are now on their way to doubling their revenue in only 3 years.

  • Another association used the growth mindset to instill a true culture of innovation, committed to leading their members into the future rather than just responding to their immediate demands.

What participants are saying:

“I signed up for this course along with my CEO because we are working to ensure our senior team can evolve to work with a growth mindset for the organization. Our association, along with many others, have faced challenges and changes in the coming year and we wanted to equip ourselves for success as much as possible. The course was self-guided and paced, which allowed us to work together at our own speed and consider how we might educate and roll these principles out to our senior team as well. I highly recommend taking this course along with another person on your team, if possible.”

Suzanne Sletto, CAE, Chief of Staff, American College of Chest Physicians
