Two-Day Onsite Strategy Session $17,500
As you move toward 2022, it is time to evaluate 2021 and set a course, as best as possible, for 2022. Key assumptions underlying your strategy have changed, so it’s time to rethink your game plan.

These LDI off-sites are intentionally designed to allow strategy discussions to arise. Our structured plan helps you get deeper, quicker. If you are looking to get better at moving conversations rapidly to the level of strategy and execution, then you will see outcomes in two days that would otherwise take months to achieve – or might never achieve.
Considering A Coach
- Do you wish you had someone who could help you figure out how to navigate the complex world of leadership and help you grow as a leader? Do you wonder what a difference a could could make?
Coaching is only as good as the coach. And a coach is only as good as the framework he or she follows.
Every coach knows how to ask good questions – that’s basic to coaching. But asking good questions is about taking someone though a process, not extracting the righ information.
Much of coaching often makes a mistaken assumption: that the coachee has the answers; they just need to be coaxed (or coached) out of them. But the reality is that few leaders have all the answers within them, and no amount of coaching will extract answers that aren’t there. What they need is someone who really understands leadership and can help them apply the right kind of leadership to the challenges they face.
Our coaching still relies on good questions, it’s still a relationship of trust and collaboration, it’s still a process of discovery, and it’s still a journey the coach and coachee embark on together. But the difference is that our coaches are trained in the Total Leadership Framework™: they understand leadership and they know how to help you apply the right kind of leadership to the challenges you face. With an LDI coach, you will be on this journey with someone who knows the terrain… a powerful way to accelerate your impact. Especially in these uncertain times.
