Workshops and Courses

DDJ Myers is an expert in the field of identifying, advancing, and enriching leadership, which is the ability to marshal people and resources to achieve a desired, observable, outcome.

Successful leaders develop personal mastery competencies, or soft skills, which lead to directed action. The Advancing Leadership Institute exists to customize leadership work to the needs of organizations and the individual team members.

DDJ Myers possesses the combination of understanding business, successful coaching, emotional intelligence, and embodied leadership to facilitate moving people effectively toward their desired future. The development work centers on "Leadership From Within", a concept wherein effective leaders of others first become effective leaders of themselves. Our work with leaders in one-on-one coaching or team settings is outcome based and identifies practices to develop self-mastery.

Our offerings include:

THE SEASONS OF ORGANIZATION
Leading Change Effectively
The team recognizes how it experiences change, works with Purpose and Commitment, and identifies action steps necessary to move forward and reorganize through various seasons. "Once we understood where we were at as a team, we were able to organize ourselves to move forward."

BUILDING TRUST
Building Relationship Bridges
The behaviors the team needs to develop to build and maintain trust are identified and embodied. "Trust was so important that this work became the foundation of all of our leadership work."

SUCCESSION PLANNING
Strategic Competency Development
Succession Planning is having the right people in the right place at the right time, and this work integrates the organization's strategic plan with competency development. "Your Succession Planning work gave us a safe way to talk about 'what-ifs' and how to create development plans."

BUILDING THE BODY OF A LEADER
Integrity in Leadership Action
This work integrates presence and how leadership is embodied to become effective in the relationships and outcomes we seek. "Three months ago, as we embarked on this work, I thought I would have to let go of several members of my executive management; now they are working together better than ever."

COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS
Moving Effectively Through Difficult Topics
Teams learn how to move into difficult conversations and provide effective critical feedback with ease and effectiveness. "Nothing we have ever done has moved us forward faster than this work in Courageous Conversations."

KEEPING PROMISES
Using Commitments to Take Action
Participants practice the structure, process, and language of building commitments to take effective action and therefore build greater trust. "We were failing in our commitments so often that trust was a real issue. I heard my team use this process and language right away, and we're back on track with trust."

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Tapping Inner Motivations and Passions
Teams learn how to develop their own potential in Emotional Intelligence, which is the ability to manage the emotions of oneself and others to take effective action. "I used to believe that being ëun-emotional' was the only option, but by bringing in emotion and passion, I am achieving better results."
