The Breakthrough Leadership Workshops

Paradox-aware leadership training organizes and harmonizes your existing leadership training by showing how enduring leadership principles balance each other. It reinforces and enhances the value of the training you already do.

Almost all existing leadership training is designed to teach principles that may or may not feel interesting or relevant depending on what problem participating leaders feel is most urgent right now.

The LPC, by contrast, begins with whatever problem that's most urgent right now and applies paradox-awareness to innovate and find non-obvious solutions to that problem.

If you know you want the training, we can sign an agreement that will allow you purchase the training at current pricing, but postpone payment and scheduling to align with your budget cycle.

Because the training focuses on each participating leader's most urgent problem, the results of the training are measured in progress towards a solution. Putting a monetary measure on the value of the solution is simply a matter of establishing the cost of the problem. The more expensive the problem, the more valuable the solution. The last step in The Leadership Progress Cycle is "Measure Results". Good results metrics also make it easier to translate outcomes into fiscal value.

Set the groundwork by finding out what problems are most urgent and pressing in the mind of the executive sponsor. Framing the workshop as an exercise geared to addressing that specific problem may be enough to secure buy-in.

Additional information and resources for creating a formal proposal are available to members of The LPC Learning Professional Partner community.

Just like with executive sponsors, the most effective approach begins with finding out what issues and problems are most urgent for each prospective participant. The workshop pre-work actually begins with this discovery process. The relationship building from the direct communication that's implicit in this kind of a discovery will serve you well far beyond this particular initiative. In situations where direct communication with prospective participants is not possible, you may be able to communicate through the executive sponsor.

The Leadership Progress Cycle provides pre-workshop materials and communication templates to make it easy to plan, roll-out, and support the experience. We work with you one-on-one to manage logistics and ensure a successful event. Our process is conscientious about understanding the participants ahead of time and crafting a workshop customized to their needs. The LPC also provides resources to all participants to actively support paradox-aware decision making for a full year after the workshop.

Yes. While in-person is always optimal, we can still provide a powerful and transformative experience with a virtual option. We even have an option that is entirely asynchronous and self-paced.
