He provided us with the tools to take responsibility and really lead on Inclusive Diversity." Dave Harrison Senior Vice President Skanska Building USA Inc.

Trust-Powered Leadership:
Breakthrough Results via Diversity & Inclusion

A one day course tailored to leadership level

Trust: we all use the word, and our company tries to evoke trust with customers and employees. But do we intentionally fuel our leadership by building trust? Now we can. Trust is the making and keeping of promises over time. And when we’re effective, we lead diverse colleagues and customers into their own promise.

This course equips leaders from the front-line to the executive level to build trust and wield power with intention. Trust-Powered Leadership breaks through disengagement to new levels of performance on diversity and inclusion, by developing skills for four results:

1. Engagement and Personal Responsibility – Every manager commits to leveraging diversity and inclusion (D&I) to deliver business results – no more leaders disconnected from D&I
   
   
2. Feedback for Improvement – Fearless feedback and courageous conversation to drive improvement among all employees across the enterprise – no more holding back
   
   
3. High-Performing Conflict – Taking skilled initiative with mistakes, disagreements, and
   fights, to produce more creative and confident relationships – no more avoided or destructive conflict
   
   
4. Develop Powerful Talent – Win, grow and keep talent through purposeful coaching, mentoring, delegation, and decision-making – no more productivity or retention crises
   

Invincible Women, Greathearted Men:
Collaborating for High-Impact Results

Nancy Solomon* and Chuck Shelton

Invincible: Cannot be defeated due to great strength and skill.
Greathearted: Courageous in spirit and action.

Professional life across the gender line provides conflict and fun, confusion and intrigue, mixed messages and mixed results. For the first time in history, the workforce is equally composed of women and men. And every professional must succeed with customers of the other gender. So the stakes have never been higher when it comes to men and women delivering results through high-performing relationships.

But there’s a problem: everyone has inconsistent experience and strong opinions across the gender divide.

How do we build collaboration skills so that women and men:

• Recognize and respect their differences, without over-emphasizing gender?
  
• Take personal responsibility for leading in relationship and to task?
  
• Deliver high-impact results through intentional power and the building of trust?

Invincible Women, Greathearted Men develops these collaborative skills to produce four outcomes:

1. Personal Clarity and Confidence – Deepen every Learner’s emotional intelligence and ability to lead from the inside out – no more denying gender competence as a success factor
   
   
2. Trust-Powered Relationships – Make and keep promises to build sustainable trust in relationships with colleagues and customers – no more promise-breaking as an acceptable behavior
   
   
3. Fearless Feedback – Courageous conversation and high-performing conflict drive improved performance in relationships and to tasks across the enterprise – no more avoided conflict or missed opportunities to praise
   
   
4. High-Impact Results – Define precisely what impact looks like for collaborative 1:1 and team performance, and leverage impact to deliver results – no more missed goals or low-performing projects
