Better Decision Making: Shifting from MIND FULL to MINDFUL Leadership Skills
Decision-making is a fundamental component of every leader’s daily life, both professionally and personally. Every day leaders make dozens, even hundreds, of decisions. Unfortunately, stress and other factors often lead good leaders to make bad decisions.
No wonder so many leaders operate in a “MIND FULL” mode. This is not good. A more effective method is to make decisions in a “MINDFUL” mode. Fortunately, this is a skill that can be learned, ingrained, and practiced.
That’s why I created our one-day workshop Better Decision Making: Shifting From MIND FULL to MINDFUL Leadership Skills. The foundation of the workshop is the importance of improving short-term and long-term brain health, combined with steps on how to prevent emotional hijacking of the decision-making process. The tips and techniques of the workshop are based on the content of my recently launched book Better Decisions. Better Outcomes. Better Thinking. How to go from MIND FULL to MINDFUL Leadership.
Teamwork and collaboration between internal functions combine to create two of the greatest competitive advantages any organization can have.
High-functioning teams often achieve results beyond expectations, and in ways that enable them to replicate superior results time after time.
This one-day workshop provides team leaders with an in-depth understanding of the Five Dysfunctions of a Team model and techniques for applying this proven template to help their teams become more cohesive and productive.
Unfortunately, creating and leading such teams is difficult. Unless you have the right tools and models.

Mid-level management jobs and leadership positions are extremely challenging.
In today’s flatter organizational structures, mid-level leaders are required to handle and juggle a wide range of ever-increasing responsibilities while coping with constantly changing corporate strategies, greater interpersonal conflicts, and team members who are frequently less than highly engaged.
That’s why Steven Howard considers mid-level leaders and managers to be “the glue between strategy and execution.”
Transitioning from a successful Individual Contributor role into a supervisory or manager position is fraught with challenges, concerns, and worries. This is a profound change for your employees and comes with high risks of failure, personal dissatisfaction, and team disenchantment or disengagement.
Our mid-level leadership training programs focus on the key skills critical for making a successful transition from individual contributor to a mid-level or frontline leader.
Motivation and Leadership:
Applying Proven Motivational Techniques in the Workplace
Our mid-level leadership training programs focus on the key skills critical for making a successful transition from individual contributor to a mid-level or frontline leader.
A critical leadership mistake, often made by new supervisors and managers, is to attempt to motivate individual team members using the same methods that motivate themselves. However, motivation is personal to the individual; it varies person to person.
Fortunately, the critical factors that increase team or individual motivation are all workplace climate related – which means that good leaders can learn how to leverage these factors and keep individual and collective motivation high most of the time.
These are the skills we teach in our half-day workshop Motivation and Leadership: Applying Proven Motivational Techniques in the Workplace.
