Strong for Performance is an online coaching and development system that gives leaders the practice and support they need to master leadership skills.  This interactive program supports the crucial follow-up and accountability needed to transform new skills from awkward to automatic.

Comprehensive Learning System

The 12-month subscription contains a combination of elements that ensure the mastery of a new skill.

• ASSESSMENT: The ability to request feedback from stakeholders to find out which skill to focus on first.
• DEVELOPMENT: A repetitive 3-step practice that rewires the brain:
  1. Focus: Select one skill at a time and learn how to do it right.
  2. Action: Apply the skill in a real situation on the job.
  3. Reflection: Answer questions to analyze the experience and improve for the future
• RESOURCES: A wealth of multi-media content is built into the program for two topic areas:
  • People Skills: 24 critical communication skills leaders need to use when interacting with others. (Examples: listening, giving constructive feedback, engaging in dialogue, and resolving conflict)
  • Personal Strength: 40 behavior patterns leaders need to engage when faced with challenges. (Examples: courage, perseverance, composure, self-confidence and focus)
  • You can also customize the program by adding your own topics with related resources.
• ONGOING FEEDBACK: Participants can send out a quick 1-item survey to ask stakeholders about their progress with their chosen skill. Respondents give a rating and one or two suggestions for improving in the future.
• COACHING: A designated Accountability Coach and other Support Coaches can offer ideas, encouragement and feedback on exercises completed.

Why it Works

By themselves, learning events like classroom or online training are not enough to improve skills and produce better results. It takes follow-up, practice and coaching because participants have to physically rewire their brains. This wiring only happens after many repetitions of the behavior through on-the-job applications. Strong for Performance makes the process easier.

Measure Results

After participants request feedback, the program consolidates ratings and comments into easy-to-read reports that can be shared with their accountability coach and manager. Administrators can monitor participants’ activity such as last log-in and number of exercises completed and shared with their coaches.

According to researchers at the University of Mississippi, when an employee fails in his or her career, that failure is directly attributed to some facet of human behavior in over 90 percent of the cases.

Simply stated, most people have the skills, knowledge, experience and education to perform their duties. What they’re lacking in most cases is the personality required for their specific career that will allow them to perform successfully.
