Session 1: Leadership Identity and Values: Humanizing Your Leadership

What defines you as a leader?

In this session, we’ll explore the connection between how you see yourself and how your employees see you. Often, employees view leaders as “the company,” rather than as fully human individuals. This perception, shaped by societal norms and expectations, creates challenges in building trust.

Through guided reflection, we’ll help you identify your core values as a leader, creating the stability and authenticity needed to disrupt harmful socialization patterns. By the end of this session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of your leadership identity and the foundation to build meaningful connections with your team.

This work sets the stage for Session 2, where we dive deeper into the dynamics of power and trust in leadership.

Session 2: Holding Power Responsibly: Power and Connection in Leadership

Leadership comes with power, and power often creates distance.

In this session, we’ll uncover the tension between power and connection, exploring how socialization shapes employees’ perceptions of their leaders. Employees often grapple with the contradiction: “I know you’re human, but I can’t fully trust you because of the power you hold.”

We’ll guide you in understanding this dynamic and show you how to share responsibility for building trust and psychological safety. Through actionable strategies, you’ll learn how to hold power in a way that strengthens relationships rather than creating barriers.

Building on the self-awareness and values alignment from Session 1, this session equips you to move into Session 3, where we’ll focus on how trust and shared values create a thriving organizational culture while focusing on financial stability.

Session 3: Culture and Profitability: Building Stability through Values-Aligned Culture

Culture is the backbone of a thriving organization, but fear-based decision-making can weaken it.

In this session, we’ll help you move beyond fear and focus on hiring and team-building practices rooted in shared values.

Together, we’ll explore how a lack of psychological safety leads to disengagement, stifled creativity, and the belief that “this organization is only out for itself.” By asking the right questions—“What qualities am I looking for in employees who help me lead with support and connection?”—you’ll learn to create a strong, values-driven culture that fosters innovation and profitability.

With a deeper understanding of culture from this session, you’ll be ready to learn more about the Partnership Blueprint in Session 4, a system designed to sustain trust, connection, and organizational health.

Session 4: Partnership Blueprint: Creating Systems for Sustainable Relationships

Relationships are the cornerstone of organizational success, but they don’t thrive on good intentions alone—they need structure.

In this capstone session, we’ll introduce the Partnership Blueprint, a system that supports consistency and trust-building between supervisors and employees.

This framework includes tools for performance evaluations that assess not just productivity but also the health of relationships. We’ll explore how to use the Partnership Blueprint to support employees hired for their differences and unique value, rather than for culture fit, ensuring they can thrive in a psychologically safe environment.

Building on the clarity of values from Session 1, the trust-building skills from Session 2, and the culture-focused strategies from Session 3, this session ties everything together. By the end, you’ll have a tangible system to sustain organizational health and foster deep, lasting connections within your teams.
