Leadership Development
Increasing the capacity of your leaders and/or leadership team members to be more effective can be achieved through customized programs designed to meet the needs and expectations of the organization. Some of the frequently selected leadership development programs offered by the Carson Greil Group include, but not exclusively limited to, the below:
Learning Styles
Typical audience: Program for all organizations
Length: 2-3 hour session
Clarifying one’s learning style is only one part of this engaging workshop. The real challenge for leaders is to influence others–especially those with different learning styles. Throughout this session participants will gain a deeper appreciation and value of diverse learning styles.
In addition, participants will learn how to include in subtle and yet effective ways the learning styles of others in various situations – presentations, one-on-one development sessions, project staffing, etc.
Desired Outcomes for the Participants:
■ Learn a perspective about the nature of learning that is relevant in daily life.
■ Increase self-awareness through understanding one’s individual learning style.
■ Broaden understanding and appreciation of different learning styles among each other, which can be practiced through your daily working together.
■ Practice with a framework that utilizes all four learning styles.

Executive Presence
Typical audience: Participants in a leadership development program
Length: 2 hours – 1/2 day
“To every person there comes in their lifetime that special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for the work which could be their finest hour.” – Winston Churchill

“She was able to understand my strengths and put those to work for me. But also understood what I needed to work on to improve my communication skills, executive presence and to enhance my own leadership style. She has been an objective sounding board for developing approaches, ideas and strategies. Mary Jo understands business strategies and knows how to execute on ideas that are currently relevant in the current business environment.
