A Message from the Founder of the THE LEADERSHIP LAB

THE FUTURE BELONGS TO A NEW KIND OF LEADER

  • Leading virtually requires a new set of skills. And hybrid is even harder.
  • Making sound decisions and resolving issues is more challenging.
  • A new level of trust and empathy is required to lead effectively.
  • Employee engagement and motivation are critical now more than ever.

GREAT LEADERS EMBRACE CHANGE

They don't wait for this time to be over.

They find ways to innovate & seek creative solutions.

They develop, motivate and engage their teams in the face of challenge and uncertainty.

Who do you turn to when the going gets rough? Is it your colleagues? 

Or perhaps it is your boss or manager.

It’s natural to seek out those you work with as they understand your challenges, but they are often too close to offer fresh perspectives.

That's why we created

The LEADERSHIP LAB.

The LEADERSHIP LAB allows for

new thinking, new ideas and new solutions. 

It’s like having your own

PERSONAL BOARD OF ADVISORS

you can tap into for advice, ideas and perspectives – advisors who don’t carry the history or bias that those inside your organization may have.

The LEADERSHIP LAB is for LEADERS & MANAGERS who...

  • have approx. 3-5 years in a Manager or Leader Role.*
  • lead or manage 3 or more individuals (direct or dotted line) or lead a process that requires influencing others.
  • seek support, collaboration & coaching with like-minded leaders in a powerful small group environment.
  • are looking for tools to increase team engagement, motivation and productivity and improve hybrid and remote leading
  • want to take their leadership skills to the next level.

Have questions about whether it's a good fit for you? We are here for you. Just schedule a time to speak or contact us at jmd@jeanmariespeaks.com or + 1-720-295-3104.

*If you have 5-10 years of experience leading 10-20+ individuals and interested in a the Next Level Leadership Lab sign up to be notified when the doors open.

Jean Marie's sessions have pushed me to think not only about the HOW and WHY, but to go beyond what is holding me back. To be clear, it is not just a lecture; it’s a hands-on, thought-provoking session during which attendees are challenged to think differently, to share, to engage with other attendees and encourage moving out of your comfort zone. Jean Marie understands the corporate landscape and the importance of leadership development for employees. Her insight, empathy and ability to connect with people is truly inspiring. Her programs are the best I have experienced.

FAQs

Are there any Prerequisite for the Program?

The prerequisites are listed above in this section above. If, however you are outside of any one of the parameters, feel free to schedule a call to discuss (or contact us at +1-720-395-2104 or jmd@jeanmariespeaks.com).

Will I be in a group with Leaders who have a similar level experience as I?

You will be in a Cohort with leaders who have 3-5 years of experience.  We are a firm believer that everyone has something to teach and something to learn. If at any time you feel that you the cohort is not providing the value or support you are looking for, we can discuss immediately and determine what would be the best fit. We will be launching later in the year a "Leader's ThinkTank" for Leaders with 5-10 years of experience.

What if I can't make a session?

All the sessions are recorded and placed inside the Leadership Lab Vault that you will have a secure login and password to.  You can listen to past sessions and access other tools in the Vault at any time up to a year of your program start-date. You can also hop on another cohort that month if the time works better.

What if I have a conflict after a few months of the time of the Cohort I'm in?

We will be holding multiple cohorts in parallel so we can explore if a different cohort would be a better fit.

What happens after I register?

After you register you will get a Welcome Email with expectations of the program and a link to a Pre-Program Form to fill out so we can get to know you and your needs better. Following that will be an on-line Confidentiality agreement to E-sign (that asks you to keep everything shared in the sessions in strict confidence and approves permission to be recorded) and information with logistics of the program.
