Leadership EP: Built for Business Impact

Agenda | Sponsorships | Flier (at the bottom of the page)

Leadership isn’t a title. It’s how you communicate, motivate, adapt—and have the guts to grow.

Leadership EP is a full-day, interactive leadership development experience designed for emerging and evolving leaders who are ready to make a greater impact in their workplace.

Facilitated by Sandler Training, this year's program gets practical about the leadership challenges professionals face every day: communicating with different personalities, motivating others, knowing when to coach versus direct, navigating difficult conversations, and recognizing the habits that may be getting in the way of your own effectiveness.

This isn't about collecting leadership buzzwords. It's about understanding yourself, understanding the people you lead and leaving with tools you can actually use. Like...

COMMUNICATE: Great leadership starts with understanding how people communicate.

Explore your own communication style while learning how to recognize the preferences of others and adjust your approach based on the person and situation.

You'll work on how to:

• Listen more effectively and ask better questions
• Recognize different communication styles
• Reduce misunderstandings and unnecessary friction
• Build stronger working relationships
• Create genuine buy-in instead of simply giving direction
• Positively influence the people around you

MOTIVATE: The leadership approach that works for one person—or one situation—won't necessarily work for another.

Leaders wear different “hats” throughout the day. Sometimes your team needs direction. Sometimes accountability. Sometimes encouragement, coaching or simply the space to take ownership.

You'll explore how to recognize what a situation calls for and adjust your leadership approach accordingly so you can better motivate individuals, improve performance and build ownership within your team.

LEAD WITH GUT: Sometimes the biggest barrier to stronger leadership is the one we don't recognize in ourselves.

Strong leadership takes courage and self-awareness. We'll examine common barriers to success—the behaviors, assumptions, habits and tendencies that can influence decision-making, relationships, credibility and performance.

You'll be challenged to identify where you may be getting in your own way and consider what it looks like to address those areas with intention.

Because effective leadership isn't about having no weaknesses.

It's about recognizing where you need to grow—and having the guts to do something about it.

Who Should Attend? Leadership EP is built for professionals who are:

• Stepping into a leadership or supervisory role
• Preparing for the next level of responsibility
• Managing people, projects or teams
• Looking to strengthen their communication and influence
• Ready to become more intentional about how they lead
• Identified by their organization as an emerging or high-potential leader

You don't need “manager” or “director” in your title to belong in the room. If your work requires you to communicate, influence, collaborate, motivate or lead others, Leadership EP is for you.

Invest in Your Next Leader

Employers: Who on your team is ready for more?

Leadership EP is also an opportunity to intentionally invest in the people you want to retain, develop and prepare for greater responsibility. Consider registering one emerging leader—or sending several members of your team to learn alongside one another.

One Day. Practical Tools. Stronger Leaders.

Spend the day learning alongside other professionals from across the Eden Prairie business community, building skills you can take back to work immediately and connections that extend beyond the program.
