Leadership coaching services

While the terms coaching and mentoring are frequently used interchangeably, there are clear differences in the approach, strategy, and tactics associated with each. Coaching is very much an intellectual process based on assessments, questions, learning, designing, and building. Mentoring is more of a heart exercise – caring, sharing, guiding, and encouraging based on mutual interests and trust relationships.

At Triad, we frequently combine the best of both relationships because we do care and have a heart for each individual and unique person that each of our clients represent; however, our primary focus is using the proven techniques and processes of formalized coaching to help our clients grow personally and as a team to achieve success and build leadership legacies.

Your leadership TEAM COACH

Just like sports teams, the chief executive is the quarterback who is a key member of the team—not the boss trying to fix the team. We coach the entire team for the ultimate win—just like in sports.

The right TEAM COACH helps accelerate learning, improve critical thinking skills, improve interactions within a team, and increase self-awareness to help grow and develop individuals. This in turn grows the team, and the organization.

Our individual and team coaching provides for:

- vision casing / strategic planning

- personal growth / character development

- brainstorming / accountability

- goal setting / metrics tracking

- enhanced team communications / performance

- helping leaders grow other leaders in the organization

- succession planning / expansion / acquisitions

- creating individual and organizational leadership legacies

Assessments

In order to provide our best coaching and training, we use two great assessment tools to better understand the individuals on your team and also the interactions within the team.

The Maxwell DISC Assessment takes into account that everyone you encounter is motivated differently, communicates differently, and views tasks and relationships differently. The DISC profile assessment helps you understand yourself and how to best interact with others on your team for optimal effectiveness and a winning team experience.

The Maxwell Leadership Game is a fun way to help facilitates team communications and trust and identifies team strengths and relationships. At the same time, the game uncovers areas of possible weakness / mis-trust in the team and links coaching / training solutions to enhance team performance.

Leadership training

Triad Leadership Group provides a broad range of leadership training for executives, managers and their in-place leadership teams based on the timeless principles of John Maxwell and other respected authors. Companies that choose to develop their leaders can positively influence everyone in the organization which creates a cultural shift that leads to more engaged employees, improved ROI, and increased revenue and profits.

When needed, we help executives perform a complete and detailed assessment of themselves and their leadership teams using DISC and the Leadership Game. The results of the assessments are used to design training modules, and realign or build leadership teams from scratch. LEARN MORE about customized training workshops

All our training work is supported by individual and group coaching services. We seek to implement the principles and practices taught in team and workshop settings—with an in-the-trenches perspective.

Our training programs are interactive sessions, which link learning and doing. Whether first-time supervisors or experienced managers, our focus is to help those team members with self-awareness that will lead to better understanding and behavioral shifts. Clarity of personal and business goals and desires lead to more effective outcomes and engagement.

While licensed for numerous Maxwell training programs, here are four half-day Maxwell workshops that capture the essence of the core elements of leadership development as follows:

15 Invaluable Laws of Growth

In Maxwell’s most famous book, 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is the “Law of the Lid,” which focuses on the fact that an organization cannot grow any bigger/better than its individual leaders—so if we can grow individual leaders, then we can grow the organizations.

Everyone Communicates but Few Connect

Only one thing stands between you and success—it’s not experiences, it’s not talent—it’s learning how to effectively connect with people. Once effectively connected, then we can become a person of influence with family, community and within organizations and larger business circles.

Becoming a Person of Influence

Maxwell’s foundational premise is “influence is leadership/leadership is influence.” Influence doesn’t come instantly; it grows in stages. Everyone has influence, either positive or negative. Obviously we want to reduce our negative influence and enhance our positive influence. By effectively connecting and then positively influencing we will be adding value, making a difference, and helping others achieve business success and build leadership legacies.

Developing the Leaders Around You

Deals with reproduction—becoming not a leader of followers but being a leader of leaders who then become a leader of leaders—dramatically impacting sustained successful business outcomes. Our proprietary methodology is based on John Maxwell’s book “The Five Levels of Leadership.” Our true influence is not based on our position but rather moving to the pinnacle fifth level of leadership where people follow you because of who you are.

Other Workshops

While much of our leadership development work with clients is based on the extensive and proven principles and strategies taught by John Maxwell, our coaches and trainers are very familiar with, and use where appropriate, books and training materials from other respected leadership sources including: Jim Collins: Good to Great, Great by Choice, How the Mighty Fall; Liz Wiseman: Multipliers; Patrick Lencioni: Three Signs of a Miserable Job, Five Dysfunctions of a Team, The Advantage; Stephen Covey: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Principle Centered Leadership; Rick Warren: Purpose Driven Life; Daniel Pink: Drive; Zig Ziglar: See You At the Top; Kerry Patterson: Crucial Accountability; Quint Studer: Results that Last, Hardwiring Excellence; Don Clifton and Tom Rath: Strength Finders.

Our on-site workshop process puts you and your team in the driver’s seat. We will conduct a pre-workshop call or meeting to outline your goals and needs, which is our number one objective. After the workshop, you will receive a summary of the workshop that will include attendee feedback and recommendations for follow-up individualized training and/or coaching.
