Program Description:

Dear Friend in Leadership:

The question I get asked most often from leaders today is, “What’s next?” What they’re really asking me is, “What’s the next step I should take in my professional development to get to the next level in my career?”

Well, friend, if you’re truly serious about building the leadership expertise that will fuel your organization’s success and drive your career to new heights, there’s only one answer: enroll in our Strategic Leadership Skills intensive two-day seminar.

Here’s why:

If you’re like most managers and supervisors, you’re trapped in the ‘day to day’ activities of the workplace. You’re answering questions … calling the shots …putting out fires … setting priorities and then rearranging priorities based on an ever-changing climate. You spend hours in meetings with colleagues and higher-ups. And, you spend even more time and effort managing people problems.

With all you have to get done each day, it’s no wonder that you don’t have time to step back and look at the big picture. That’s where this training comes in. When you attend Strategic Leadership Skills, you’ll spend two days immersed in the conceptualizing, planning, and strategizing required to expand your leadership perspective … and dramatically improve your effectiveness!

I’m not talking about theoretical stuff here; we’ll get to the heart of the issues and challenges you’re struggling with, including how to:

Develop a strategic vision for your team that’s aligned with your organization’s mission
Make better decisions by better understanding the drivers, strengths, and vulnerabilities of any tough situation
Improve your working relationships with your team, colleagues, and upper management
Successfully introduce important change initiatives with less resistance
Get better results from every member on your team

I promise that years from now you’ll consider the investment you made in yourself by participating in this training to be among your smartest investments ever!

Don’t allow a busy calendar to get in the way of your career success. Make plans to attend today!

Sincerely,

Mark R. Truitt
Executive Director, National Seminars Group
A division of Rockhurst University Continuing Education Center, Inc.

P.S. Because the skills taught in this training are so vital to every manager’s success, we expect demand for Strategic Leadership Skills to be exceptionally high. Don’t risk missing out! Reserve your place in this training today.
