 >> Performance Leadership

It seems that everybody these days claims to be an expert on leadership. Why choose us to help you develop your own leadership capacity or that of key people in your organization?

That depends upon what you need. Is the issue one of skill development, clarifying priorities, improving decision making, dealing with change, interpersonal effectiveness, following through on commitments, or something else? Or some combination of these? Click here to identify and assess your needs using our Performance Leadership Audit.

These are some of the benefits you can expect from working with Ascendo Consulting.

For Individual Leaders:
  • Greater understanding of your strengths, limitations, motivation and operating style;

  • Clarity about what is most important to you;

  • Increased capability to understand and interact with others;

  • Effective decision making and problem solving;

  • Strategy-focused action that is aligned with what is most important.

For Organizations:
  • For each leader, the same results as above;

  • A Strategy-Focused approach that addresses individual needs and values in the context of organizational reality;

  • Effective use of the organization's power, accountability, authority and responsibility to motivate individual change and support the leaders as they apply what they learn;

  • Clearer alignment between what is important to the organization and what is important to the individual leader;

  • Teams that are focused, aligned in their efforts, and effective in their communication.

How is this done?
Our emphasis is always on addressing your needs in the context of your work. One size definitely does not fit all! Coaching, consulting, training and facilitation are approaches that can be used, as needed. Click here to see an outline of these services.

Leaders wanting individual coaching or training work directly with Lee Wallace in a program that we design together to accomplish what you want. Individual skills development can be enhanced through coaching and/or by means of an excellent on-line skill development program that you can follow at your own pace.

To address the needs of organizations, Lee works with Alison Atkins, Gaetane Lemieux and Karen Switzer-Howse to assess your needs, design a package of services that address these needs and deliver the program that you want. The program may include training, facilitation and consulting along with coaching. All members of our consortium have been trained specifically to work with leaders in a business or organizational context and are experienced in doing so. Click here to learn more about our team.
