Catalytic Coaching Mastery Program - Winter 2021

The Crucial Cascade: Empowering Your Coaching

After a year of the perpetual pivot, it’s time to look toward cultivating success in 2021. 

You need to balance strategic control with empowering your teams and employees to take ownership of both their success and the company’s. 

The key is all in the cascade. Every individual in the organization must be shown how they fit into the big picture and then guided to leverage their superpowers. But it’s not enough to just delegate. Each focus must have actionable goals that are tracked and adjusted throughout the year to ensure they actually get done. 

Join Gary as he gives you the vital insight you need to accomplish the crucial cascade that will propel your organization into a successful 2021. 

Learn How To:

• Execute through empowered employees

• Cultivate company unity 

• Resolve resistance to change

• Harness delegation and individual energy

• Drive sustained profitability 

Salary Talk During Turbulent Times

Finding it challenging to “pay for performance” in 2020?  
Trouble explaining raises that have been put on hold? 

Have you fallen for The Big Lie?

Your team (that you’ve not laid off) is working harder than ever. Their spouses have taken a hit to their paychecks or even lost their jobs. Their kids are learning virtually and need expensive childcare. 
And the cost of just about everything is on a steep uphill climb. 

As much as we want to give our employees well deserved and much needed pay increases, for perhaps the majority it’s just not in the cards for 2020. Even organizations whose income stream has not been significantly disrupted are reluctant to add additional burden to payroll. It feels unwise and unsafe. 

But what do you say to your loyal workforce to make sense of our current dilemma? How do you talk to them both individually and collectively in a way that they will regard as fair and motivational?   

Gary will leverage over 40 years of Human Resources, Performance Management, and Executive Leadership experience to bring you the vital guidance you need to have productive compensation conversations, even in bad times. He will teach both you and your managers to stage effective adult-to-adult conversations about money that gives you the best opportunity to quickly right the financial ship so that you can safely recommence salary adjustments in the future. 

Learn How to:

• Mitigate mutiny without pay increases

• Expunge “The Big Lie” that is “pay for performance”

• Demystify “cost of living adjustments”

• Manage expectations with the Compa-Ratio

• Refocus employees through Coaching conversations

Don’t Stop Talking Now Webinar

But for the love of all that is holy, DON’T stop talking now!

Learn how to leverage Performance Management to:

• Retain Top Talent When Downsizing

• Motivate without Hiking Salaries

• Re-Purpose People To Propel a Pivot
