“Jamie is amazing. He’s the best coach I’ve seen and the leadership program he’s created is fantastic. It made a huge difference for me. In fact I have developed more as a leader in the first 3 months of his program than I had in my entire career to date.” “Overall, Jamie’s helped me engage in my position and build stronger, more effective relationships with my entire team including direct reports, peers and managers. It’s made me a better leader for the company.” More> Laura Eckhardt, C.A.
"Jamie’s changed my life! Our work together demonstrated that I have far more capability to change my situation than I ever thought possible…I’ve become a catalyst that’s changed both the strategic direction of the company and the attitudes of those around me.” “I now have a stronger sense of my own capability to lead and impact the people around me. You helped me remember the real reasons I’m doing this venture..." More> Conal Campbell
“You challenged me to get to the real issues, which I didn’t quite see at first, so I could address them directly. As a result, our work has opened up more possibilities that I wouldn’t have thought possible a year ago. I know I can offer more as a leader now, I’m stronger.” “I found you completely straight-up and real. You’re not “text-booky” either. You were able to translate concepts and help me apply them to real, live situations and it’s really paid off.” More> Cindy Winer |
Leadership Coaching for PerformanceWhy the Accelerated Leader Program™?Footprint Leadership’s Accelerated Leader Program™ (ALP) is a transformational leadership coaching solution specifically designed to accelerate the development and performance of your promising people quickly and easily. The attitudes, perspectives and skills they master in the leadership coaching program will chop years off their development cycle. Your emerging leaders will be positioned to effectively take on more responsibility and dramatically increase their impact. Your leadership performance goals for the emerging executive leader will quickly become a tangible reality.Potential Leadership Development OutcomesPROACTIVELY shaping the future – Driving change “from below” and not relying on direction or instruction from supervisors. The Accelerated Leader Program helps your leadership candidates think bigger, beyond their own department and the day-to-day. Creating compelling ideas for the future and taking ownership for making them happen. Results orientation and increased appetite for innovation – Becoming focused more on the results they create and less on how good they look. This frees them from the constraints of past solutions and increases the comfort level for trying new approaches and ideas. Impacting, influencing and empowering others – Successfully communicating ideas and direction; creating not only mental, but emotional buy-in and commitment from those involved. Your emerging leaders foster an environment of trust and respect both within the team and elsewhere that breeds open, honest, and productive communication. Entrepreneurial thinking and alliance building – Becoming highly client-oriented and looking for opportunities to generate and drive value for both internal and external customers; building win-win relationships that support business goals. Maximizing personal performance capacity – Understanding and using technology as an ally to stay on top of commitments, communication and projects. They work with velocity by leveraging others, becoming highly organized and decisive. Structure of the Leadership Coaching ProgramThe Accelerated Leader Program™ is divided into three phases:
1. Leadership Assessment and Performance Objectives Phase We will begin by uncovering the results you and your Emerging Leader want to produce out of the accelerated leadership coaching program. I will do this individually with each of you. During this period, the employee will participate in my Leadership Profiling System™. The assessments I use here help me to quickly understand the Emerging Leader and allow us to hit the ground running in the leadership coaching and implementation phase that follows. If available, I will also review existing internal 360 degree feedback instruments and/or conduct my own Deep Insight 360 process. I’ll also introduce you to my process that links the executive’s leadership development with tangible business outcomes. The three of us will then co-create a shared set of development and business objectives that is a win for all parties and generates the ROI you deserve (and is often ignored by most leadership development programs). We will also design your role as sponsor in the engagement. 2. Springboard Phase - Leadership TrainingThis leadership training is a 1-day program specifically designed to transform the individual’s strategy to leading and producing results. It will be held with me personally in a 1:1 format. This approach is dramatically faster and more effective than typical “coaching only” approaches dragged out over extended periods. It also fills the employee’s “toolbox” with practical tools that can be put to use immediately. In this phase of the program, the participants:
3. Implementation Phase - Leadership CoachingThis is where the rubber hits the road and business results are created. Here, I will work with the emerging executive leader to implement the plan to meet the objectives in a 1:1 leadership coaching format. Typically, the 1:1 coaching sessions comprise three 45-minute phone tele-coaching calls per month. E-mail assistance and check-in coaching calls are also available as well as additional just-in-time learning as required. Simply put, the intention is to support the individual in fulfilling the leadership development goals and business objectives they’re committed to. There will also be opportunities for the sponsor to “check-in” with the coaching process during this phase of the Accelerated Leader Program. This will help, in part, steer the direction and scope of the engagement to ensure the best results and ROI. Who’s the best fit for a leadership coaching program like this?You might be wondering who might be an ideal candidate for the Accelerated Leader program. The Who’s the Best Fit? page was specifically designed to answer this question and help you select leadership coaching candidates with the biggest performance and ROI potential.
