The LEAD NOW! Leadership Development Model provides leaders at all levels a simple and comprehensive framework for the critical areas of building the relationships needed to lead others. The model is based on over 45 years of collective management and leadership consulting, and coaching experience with Fortune 500 companies, government organizations and start-ups firms.
At work, leaders have four critical relationships they must develop and communicate appropriately with: the boss, direct reports, peers, and customers. Each relationship is essential and deserves focused attention, yet each relationship values and needs different things to be productive. And each relationship is critical to getting results.
In this Leadercamp, certified LEAD NOW! and current Skillsoft coach Liz Tracy provides practical tactics you can immediately use to see better results as a leader. You’ll learn the 4 critical relationships you need to nurture and how they help you get people and business results.

You will gain valuable insights into identifying and eliminating non-essential tasks, mastering prioritization, and maintaining an unstoppable focus on your goals.

With all the talk about Agile Project Management, how will you know what you should be using? We’ll compare Agile and Traditional (waterfall) project management methodologies, as well as hybrid versions.

The relationships between Indigenous peoples and the governments of Canada and the United States are complex and multifaceted. They involve ongoing discussions and negotiations regarding land rights, self-governance, economic development, and cultural preservation.

Digital transformation efforts face significant challenges, with failure rates as high as 69%. A key factor contributing to this failure is human resistance. Companies must recognize that the success of digital transformation relies heavily on the people involved, and without addressing resistance, these initiatives are likely to fail. Understanding and managing the human aspect is crucial for achieving successful transformation outcomes.
By addressing employee concerns, involving them early in the process, providing proper training, and demonstrating strong leadership support, organizations can reduce resistance and increase the likelihood of transformation success.
This Leadercamp on Embracing Digital Transformation is a valuable opportunity for leaders to gain insight into managing the human aspects of digital transformation. Join us and Alycia to seize this opportunity.
Have you ever felt like a fraud, doubting your accomplishments despite evidence of your success? You may not be alone. Since the term imposter phenomenon was first coined in 1978, many high-achieving individuals have indicated they have felt imposter syndrome, which can make them feel unworthy of their achievements. Yet we can transform these thoughts into a source of strength and resilience.
Research shows that courage is like a muscle, and with practice, it can be strengthened to help us stretch, grow, and embrace new goals and challenges.
Everyone has strengths and the potential to develop them to become more confident, happier, and more engaged and fulfilled in work and life. Strengths are at the heart of positive psychology — building on what we do well and can do even better enables us to flourish and succeed.

We learn, grow, persist and overcome challenges.

How we decide to commit our time is 100% a choice. Yet the changes we need to make can prove challenging at first. How we use kindness to make the difference is where we spend our time as leaders most effectively.
In this second in a series of four Leadercamps, ICF-accredited coach and trainer Martin Haworth guides you on a journey to creating more time to lead. You’ll discover how to be Kinder to yourself, with plenty of time to be the leader even you would follow! And kinder to your people as you have space to support and develop them in a nurturing and enjoyable culture. You’ll learn some simple insights and tweaks to your current skills to give you all the time you need at work—and still get home in time for dinner!
What if how you feel is the most reliable gauge of your success at work, and in life? Regardless of your circumstances, there’s much you can do to take charge of how you feel, and how you deal with life’s inevitable challenges. Often overlooked in traditional education, and maybe not be modelled well at home, resilience skills can propel you to flourish, even in difficult times, instead of merely getting by.
We invite you to join us for the Skillsoft Leadercamp, Ramp Up Your Resilience. Sharon Wilks, the renowned "Employee Whisperer" from Australia will be your guide as she takes you through effective strategies that will boost your capacity and help you achieve positive outcomes.
We live in an era of information overload. Every day we have to decide what not to pay attention to ― and all too often that means ignoring new ideas, pitches, and proposals from companies like yours trying to grow, expand, and develop new business.
How can we cut through the clutter and become the one idea or proposal that does get through? In a phrase, through unforgettable storytelling. Most business storytelling is weak and instantly forgettable.
Join us in Dr. Nick Morgan’s Leadercamp on Unforgettable Storytelling where he will teach you how to tell stories that audiences and prospective clients can't forget.
Leadership is about getting results with and through other people. In order to help your team members continue to stretch, grow and achieve, they need coaching, support and feedback.

Moreover, coaching fosters increased employee engagement and satisfaction, leading to higher retention, engagement, and morale.
This program focuses on listening and questioning in different ways to enable action oriented, collaborative conversations. A distinctive feedback model is taught that supports intentional listening in everyday coaching conversations so that you can engage your employees to get the best performance possible.

She discovered that her aversion stemmed from trying too hard to achieve a meditative state. The truth is, meditation should come naturally and with ease.

Many people are not good at being intentional about their communication with others. They come from a very "me-centered" approach (talking at people) rather than an "other-centered" approach (connecting with people). This leads to superficial relationships with less trust - which makes working with others harder than it needs to be. Learning to listen and to communicate to build relationships rather than just get your idea across is the key to creating trust on a team.
Being intentional with your communication can help you to manage conflict, give and receive constructive feedback, give meaningful recognition for a job well done, and even delegate work more effectively.
