Leadership Think Tank Programs

Leader-think-tank-employee-engagement

The unique concept of Leadership Think Tanks was created by Master Facilitator Cher Holton as a way to bring leaders together to learn — and all her leadership programs are designed in this format. A Think Tank is defined as “a body of experts providing advice and ideas focused on problem-solving and creative innovation.” Cher Holton recognizes that the leaders in her programs can learn as much from each other as they do from her, so she combines her research, customized strategies and techniques, and interactive facilitative skill to create an environment conducive to learning, sharing, and growth. Leaders leave with enhanced understanding, specific action plans for their development, rejuvenated excitement about the work, and strong networking bonds with other leaders.

Designed using the latest research and best practices in employee engagement, together with our unique “Think Tank” style, this powerful program helps leaders and managers “power up” the engagement level of their people by leading from their seven core abilities. Discover how to develop the abilities that make you an extraordinary leader:

  • Authentegrity (okay, we made that word up, but it combines authenticity and integrity!)
  • Intuitive Wisdom
  • Inner Strength
  • Questioning Unquestioned Answers
  • Optimistic Spirit
  • Self-Reliance
  • Mentoring Mindset

It just makes good business sense to help employees get in touch with their deeper, more positively oriented selves – what we call “The Extraordinary You.”

This program features our unique concept of Laser Focus Moments and the C-4 Strategy for Solving people-related leadership problems. Cher Holton will conduct a pre-program survey to collect specific people-related leadership issues your leaders are currently dealing with, and build them into the program content.
