COMMUNICATION KINGDOM SERIES—March 2024 Sprint

Slides

Lecture

Are you struggling to connect with your audience? Did your last presentation flop? Does speaking with others make you insecure? Maybe you&rsquo;ve tried strengthening your messaging, but you struggle to order your thoughts, and your presentations are unorganized and confusing as a result.&nbsp;
You&rsquo;re not alone. We&rsquo;ve all known the frustration of struggling to connect with folks who seem like a perfect match for our passion and expertise.
These courses will show you the exact steps to take so you can build confidence, engage listeners, and gain influence through communication.
<ul>
<li>Present in public like a pro.</li>
<li>Become more visible and memorable.</li>
<li>Share your message with anyone.</li>
<li>Reduce your anxiety over public communication.</li>
<li>Elevate your message above the noise.</li>
<li>Solve your public presentation problems.</li>
<li>Stand out in the crowd.</li>
</ul>
Nothing gets accomplished without effective communication, and every encounter you have with someone on the job is a presentation. The Communication Kingdom Series will show you what it takes to be interesting, clear, and memorable as you change the way others view and respond to you.

One of our most popular programs, Cornerstone hands newly-minted team leads, supervisors, forepersons, managers, or anyone responsible for the performance of others the essential building blocks of good management.&nbsp;Cornerstone&nbsp;is an extensive 15-month learning system comprised of 30 bi-monthly volumes that introduce participants to the fundamentals they will require for a lifetime of leadership.
Each of Cornerstone's 30 volumes runs approximately two hours in length and is delivered two weeks prior to the next. In the interim weeks, participants link their learning to their daily responsibilities by applying principles, tools, and skills in real work, alone and in collaboration with direct reports. This immediate "infield reinforcement" (supported by participants' own managers) allows for safe experimentation, constant reinforcement, and ultimately positive habituation. Because it's much easier to learn new habits than unlearn old ones, we believe Cornerstone is table stakes for early leaders.

Keystone provides mid-to-late career managers (the true architects of work culture and how things get done) with meaningful, next-level, best-in-class Cohort experiences and tools to maximize the department, function, or organization one leads.
Arising from the observation that today&rsquo;s managers must carry their own workloads, shoulder the responsibility of team performance, and guide cross-functional projects, Keystone provides leaders with the much-needed opportunity to pause, reflect, develop and practice the skills essential to achieve managerial success in today&rsquo;s fast-paced, ever-flattening, more-with-less, often disassociated work environments spread hither and yon. Keystone participants will re-evaluate personal strengths, clarify professional challenges, engage others in one&rsquo;s own development, and sustain essential behaviors for personal and professional success in the years ahead.

WHAT
FIRESIDE FIELD GUIDE is a gathering (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fireside-Seasoned-Leaders-Reflections-After/dp/B08KH97MNG/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=fireside+blake+leath&amp;qid=1609924391&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIRESIDE</a> in 'workshop retreat' form, if you will) that creates a safe, serene, almost sacred space and place to give pause and cause for reflecting deeply about one&rsquo;s own values, behaviors, relationships, and past-present-future&mdash;that we might become more focused and intentional when authoring however many tomorrows remain to our name.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
WHY
It is our team's conviction that COVID-19 will prove to be a cohort-forming crucible event (not terribly unlike Pearl Harbor or 9/11) for most everyone who survives it. Unfortunately, despite this, many among us may still find ourselves living on autopilot, only rarely (if ever) engaging in intimate dialogue regarding the balance of our time and our potential epilogue in this great book of life.&nbsp;
The fortunate, however, are those among us who come to a point in our lives when we take stock and reflect purposefully on who we are and why. Looking over all that we have and all that we&rsquo;ve achieved, we may find ourselves asking that important, often life-altering question: &ldquo;Where do I go from here?&rdquo;
The road ahead can be the best part of the journey. It can be a chance to rediscover our &lsquo;self&rsquo; and to remember what matters most to us&mdash;a powerful opportunity to attain a richer, more authentic sense of fulfillment and reframing our vision of &lsquo;the good life.&rsquo; But how does one define the good life? To put it simply, we believe it is (1) Being in the right place, (2) With the right people (social connection), (3) Doing the right work (what draws us&mdash;calling), and (4) On purpose (personal purpose, clarity, and contribution). In short, it is the ability to move from success to significance (living out one&rsquo;s eulogy rather than his or her r&eacute;sum&eacute;).
The good life is a journey that changes and evolves throughout our time here, and the balance between place, people and relationships, and meaningful work is ever shifting. The North Star, the lighthouse, the magnet, the glue&mdash;the &lsquo;thing&rsquo; that coheres our sense of self, makes meaning of it all, and directs our journey, whatever one's metaphor&mdash;is purpose. When we are crystal clear about our purpose, it&rsquo;s magnitudes easier to establish and maintain the life-giving sense of balance between place, people, and work.
&nbsp;
HOW
FIRESIDE FIELD GUIDE is an In Person multi-mode experience that includes workshop time (as a group to share a few premises, principles, and to swap stories), solo introspection time (following guided instruction), personal journaling, couples time and small group time to ponder questions and generate answers together, and an extraordinary fireside dinner beneath the stars.
Please join us as we reflect deeply, meaningfully, and personally in order to live more fully, preciously, and deliberately through work, life, and life after work. You&rsquo;ll be glad you did.

Living Deliberately Through Work, Life & Life After Work

Leath Learning

Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.

Cynthia Davis

In our collaborations together at GE, Bausch + Lomb, and Lockheed Martin, I looked forward to Blake’s input time after time. He—like the caliber of people drawn to him—has always been incomparable at getting the lay of the land quickly, synthesizing vast amounts of information from multiple stakeholders, intuiting what needs to be done and how, then developing and delivering reality-based curriculum and coaching that moved our needle or benefited the bottom line. In the sea of choices, I choose Blake because he gets the job done, energizes others with that infectious laugh, and I can always predict the work product we create together will be World Class.

Designed originally for middle managers, the curriculum provided by Leath Group appealed to all levels of leadership. The strong combination of timely content and coaching provided by an experienced cadre of former executives will benefit your leaders for years to come.

When asked to make ground-shaking changes in a world-renowned technology firm, my first call was to Leath Group. They embraced the mission quickly and built a hybrid leadership + change program that kept our business running smoothly, improved processes mid-flight, and delighted ownership. Their content and delivery enabled us to accomplish in months what I thought would surely take years, and it all began with their willingness to accept what some had whispered was impossible.
