This document confirms that the participant has taken part in training and extensive practice that addresses the 'being' of leadership, how one is perceived, and one's attitude and frame of mind. They have spent time unpicking the traditional paradigm of 'leader-as-boss' in a down-to-earth, practical and tough way - with lots of true-to-life roleplaying cases and direct feedback. Fundamental to the program is that employees are capable of handling, and being responsible for, much bigger challenges than they normally are entrusted with. Participants are trained to appreciate and relate to the very real potential of the team. The training includes: What an empowering, coaching leadership style is and what distinguishes it from a more traditional one Cornerstones and mindsets of an empowering, adult-adult leadership Important abilities of empowering, adult-adult leadership: to listen effectively beyond the spoken words to coach, placing the problem and responsibility with the individual and... to ask questions that move things forward to give frank and to-the-point feedback that leaves the other person empowered to deliver a negative message with clarity and respect to support one's team members to find their own motivation Distinguishing one's individual personal pitfalls as an empowering leader Comprehensive, practical training in an empowering, adult-adult leadership
