Program Format
Prior to beginning the training, we help you identify one team leader for every 8 to 12 people, who will receive a 2-day one on one Personal Leadership Summit with a carefully selected coach. During the 9 month program, team leaders will receive on-going coaching whereby they can process personal and business breakthroughs with their personal coach. While key leaders are receiving one on one coaching, they will be equipped to reproduce the coaching process with their teams. With this "Train the Trainer" approach to development; your departments will receive an on-going return on investment that will continue far beyond the initial program.
The Forged in Steel training program will launch with a one-day overview of the Forged in Steel 7 Leadership Values. During the program launch, the entire team will gather for an inspirational one-day overview of the 7 Leadership Values and an overview of the program's goals and objectives. Team leaders will be introduced at the program launch and each participant will be assigned to a team.
Each month, a Leadership League speaker and Steelers personnel will gather the entire team for a half-day session introducing one of the 7 Leadership Values. The second half of the day will involve team huddles and skill drills led by team leaders and overseen by Leadership League coaches. The huddles and skill drills are designed to integrate the leadership value with hands-on, real time application exercises and discussion topics.
Between each of the monthly sessions, team leaders will meet one-on-one with their Leadership League coach while also being equipped with coaching resources to aid them in leading their teams.
The program will conclude with a celebration and award ceremony to share stories of impact, recognize company MVPs and reward the most improved leaders and teams. Our Purpose Sport event planning staff will work with you to create the perfect turn-key celebration with celebrity guests and creative venue options.
Program Outcomes and Results:
At the end of the 9 month program, your team will be Forged in Steel. By integrating these 7 leadership values into all levels of the organization and equipping team leaders on how to coach their departments in a sustainable fashion, your company will have a solid understanding of what it means to be "Forged in Steel." The end result is a well defined company culture and an integrated coaching system which will lead to long-term increased effectiveness.
