VisualsSpeak: Developing Great Leaders
"Without exception I have received positive feedback, especially when it comes to helping participants gain new insight and clarity!"

Make Leadership a Priority.

You think leaders are born, not made? That it’s nature, not nurture? Then you’ve never tried VisualsSpeak mini: Developing Great Leaders!

For the new or transitioning leader, Developing Great Leaders starts right there: how do you make the transition? What are the expectations of the new role? Most important, how do you adapt your strengths and weaknesses to best suit the new role — and then which areas do you focus on for improvement?

For more seasoned leaders, Developing Great Leaders is a chance to deepen skills and continuously improve. Just as cars need regular maintenance, so do leadership skills. Every time you work on deepening your abilities, you emerge a better and more informed leader. Developing Great Leaders takes you there.

Why This Tool? The VisualsSpeak Difference!

Developing Great Leaders is a visual tool. Different than many other leadership development approaches, this tool combines fun, experiential activities with both the verbal and visual parts of the brain. It reaches participants far deeper than other approaches.

Also, the Developing Great Leaders toolset is designed not just for the high-end, experienced leadership development facilitator to use, but also for any internal trainer or leader. The Facilitator Guide (review an excerpt) provides detailed step-by-step help on how to use the tools and to get the most from your participants. Even if you’ve never led a leadership development program before, you’ll look like a pro with Developing Great Leaders.

Finally, Developing Great Leaders combines fun with long-lasting change. Unlike many leadership development approaches, Developing Great Leaders has follow-up built in from the start. Each participant gets their own Participant Set that includes follow-on activities to do in the days, weeks, and months after the session(s). This baked-in reinforcement keeps the positive transformation going–and continues to spark great conversations.

What Are the Pieces?

There are two components to Developing Great Leaders: a Facilitator’s Guide and a Participant Set.

In the Facilitator’s Guide, you’ll find step-by-step detail, including:

  • Guidance on how to design the leadership development session(s),
  • How to assess the participants and select the right focus area to begin,
  • How to select which sequence of activities is right for you,
  • Information on post-session follow-up,
  • Arranging the details of the room,
  • And more!

The heart of the Facilitator’s Guide has several sample agendas as well, to help you hold a meaningful session in as short as 30 minutes or as long as several days. Review an excerpt of the Facilitator Guide.

The Participant Set is chock-full, too. Each Participant Set (one per person) has a set of 45 professionally-shot and custom-chosen images designed especially for leadership development.

Whether you’re in a Fortune 500 company or a government agency, a non-profit or a college residence life office, developing leaders is essential. And in each of those settings, Developing Great Leaders is a powerfully effective tool for making that happen–and having fun doing it!
