“Leading Powerful Conversations introduced a pragmatic framework that has helped me to guide conversations in a way that empowers others. The framework is not a means to control the conversation or the outcome. Rather, it has transformed my approach to group problem solving by truly believing that the best answer lies in those around me and not always within myself.”

“Leading Powerful Conversations helped me move past an engineer’s reliance on data and facts to better understand where the people I need to lead are coming from. The concepts and methods learned have already helped me get my message across with some folks who have been difficult for me to work with. Makes both personal and business life easier.”

What’s Covered
This service covers 5 core conscious leadership skills, including:
1
Listening
Intuitively listening helps you focus both on what’s being said and how it’s being said so you can more wholly understand the facts and the intent and emotions behind them.
2
Clarifying
Clarifying reduces confusion, eliminates assumptions, and creates alignment. It can also be a powerful tool for helping another person clarify their own thoughts and ideas.
3
Acknowledging
Acknowledging confirms you’ve heard what’s being said (even if you don’t agree with it) and builds a connection with others by showing you’ve listened and care about what they’ve said.
4
Validating
Validating normalizes or affirms what another person is feeling and eliminates guilt or shame while building a connection.
5
Empowering Questions
Empowering questions are thought-provoking, open-ended questions that inspire a person to search for their own answers, solutions, or new possibilities.
Facilitators
“Having been an Aileron member for 5+ years, this has been by far the one workshop that I was able to immediately apply to my day-to-day personal and business life without any planning or strategic analysis on the effects that it may have. I was able to use the tools given in the workshop and immediately see a change in the reactions of my staff; empowerment of my staff; as well as my own personal level of engagement. This is truly an empowering workshop to which the effects are strong.”
