Leadership Training
Live In Person
Live In Person Training
In-person seminars are very interactive and provide maximum experiential immersion in the topic. They are a great option for your organization to create a team building and learning event for your group. The ideal group size for these seminars is 30 or less people to allow for individual interaction with the seminar guides.
In-person seminars range from 3 to 7 hours, depending on the topic. The fee structure includes a flat fee for the course, a per attendee fee, and travel costs for Lynda-Ross and Gary.
You will need to provide the meeting space; we provide you with list of space requirements including room set up.

Advanced Leadership Training Seminars
(Select a topic below for more information)
Strengths Based Leadership
Strengths Based Leadership - Be the Leader You Were Born To Be
Everyone has the capacity to be an effective, even exceptional leader. There's not one set of traits or behaviors that guarantee leadership success, but there is YOUR way to be a leader. You possess unique leadership strengths that are just waiting for you to put them to good use. You don’t have to become someone else to become an effective leader. Learn the leadership skills associated with your Perceptual Style and how to best use them to be the leader you were born to be. This module builds on the Celebrate You module. Each participant receives a Be the Leader You Were Born to Be action guide for their Perceptual Style.
Communication and Motivation Techniques
Advanced Communication and Motivation Techniques
As a leader you can’t fall into the trap of assuming communication is happening. Your challenge is to ensure the meaning that you intend is what is understood, not just by one other person, but many people. Effective communication requires acknowledging it’s not automatically guaranteed. It takes awareness, some tools and techniques, and lots of practice. In this seminar you will learn fundamentals about communication theory and how Perceptual Style influences what you listen for and how you deliver your message. We’ll explore the communication differences between Perceptual Styles and you’ll learn (and practice) practical techniques to ensure that as a leader you are listening with discernment and delivering your message in a manner that guarantees you are more fully understood by all.
Change Leadership Mastery
Change Leadership Mastery
Change is constant. It’s an integral part of life and a key factor in successful organizations. The easy part is defining a change, the mastery happens when you can effectively lead people through the transition of change identification to change implementation. In this seminar you will learn the fundamentals of change theory and details about how each Perceptual Style responds to both self-initiated and imposed change. You will learn techniques to guide your team’s transition from imposed change responses to embraced change responses, capitalizing on the strengths of each Perceptual Style and incorporating communication and motivation tips for your brand of leadership.
Building Talent Based Teams
Building Talent Based Teams
Effective teams are critical to the success of any organization. Matching team members to the right tasks, minimizing miscommunications, motivating team members, and creating value and buy-in, are all important aspects for achieving great results for your team. As a leader, more often than not, you don’t have the luxury of building your own team from scratch, which makes understanding the strengths of the team members you inherit all the more important. Two simple yet powerful tools to help you discern how best to guide your team to be the best they can be are Position Portraits and Behavior Based Interviewing techniques. In this seminar you will learn how to create Position Portraits for each role on your team (hint – this is about the behavioral skills people need to excel in the role) and how to use Behavior-Based interviewing techniques to select and mentor team members. There’s lots of hands on practice in this seminar and we encourage participants to come prepared with real life role examples to work with during the session.
Conflict Resolution and Collaboration
Conflict Resolution and Effective Collaboration
Conflict is an inevitable part of living and working with other people. Conflict often gets a bad rap because people try to avoid it and that leads to festering and blowups rather than resolution and understanding. Conflict can actually be a powerful tool for generating new ideas, creating new understandings, effective collaboration, and growth. Whether a conflict creates positive or negative results depends entirely on how you approach it as a leader. In this seminar you will learn how each Perceptual Style responds to conflict and specific techniques you can use to identify conflict and guide the participants to positive results and effective collaboration while honoring the perspectives of each person involved. You’ll be amazed at how well these techniques work for you in all aspects of your life!
Virtual Leadership
Virtual Leadership
Working from home is a more viable option today than ever before. Your team could be located in places all over the city, country, or planet. Virtual Leadership has some unique challenges relating to communication, motivation, accountability, and mentoring your team members from a distance. In this seminar we provide you with unique insights about each Perceptual Style’s strengths and blind spots in a work from home environment. You’ll learn techniques for leading your team from a distance using your natural leadership skills combined with personalized motivation, accountability and mentoring for each of your team members. Virtual Leadership is easy to master with the tools you’ll learn in this seminar.
