Define
Impactful 360-degree feedback instrument (LSI, TLC), debriefed to support leader’s professional growth. Explored 1:1 with insight, action orientation + heart. Teamwork + strategy execution are typically where we support leaders to focus their thinking + action. We’re the best at these.
We can work with your fave tool or make a Frog suggestion to suit your context (MBTI, HBDI, StrengthsFinder, DiSC). It is an easy + cost-effective addition to a team workshop. As well as building individual insight, profiling instruments can improve teamwork + communication by understanding how others tick.
Determine current state, desired state, strengths, challenges, and opportunities at the appropriate level to the work (team, group, business). At minimum this includes a data review + interviews; a tailored survey gets you more detail + a baseline. The discovery precedes a broader effort. Our approach builds anticipation + excitement in a team or business. Handy, hey!
Establishing where you really are and where you need to get to in terms of thinking + behaviour. These are developed in your organisation's language so that it resonates, then they're used as a foundation for program design. People find them meaningful, simple, and practical to implement.
Ask 'why?' across the data set, working backwards + forwards to determine what is driving identified and observed characteristics (useful + unhelpful). The root cause tree pinpoints where to invest effort for maximum effect, rather than simply mitigating symptoms. It informs any next step with increased assurance. Execs love working through it, nodding their heads all the way.
First, we work together to understand what leadership capability is needed across your business to deliver on strategy.
Next, we design the leadership development approach that builds this.
The Frog approach favours action over analysis while making sure we're hitting the mark.
Workshops to develop, define, and refine business strategy. Alignment is a critical part of the process. We can spot misalignment quickly and have tips + tricks to correct it.
We apply a collective lens to 360 feedback by collating individual data for team members, mapping the distribution, and analysing it for trends (strengths + gaps). Sharing trends in team workshops allows the group to unpack + understand systemic (cultural) drivers of behaviour. Armed with their individual feedback too, leaders within a team can understand each other more deeply, and commit to action that increases their individual effectiveness while also tapping away at bigger issues, together. The group debrief amplifies impact by creating collective momentum.
Build
A 3-month group online personal + professional development program, using leadership concepts, research, exercises, workshop discussion, group and 1:1 coaching. Participants come from various organisations for depth of perspective + experience, leveraged across the group.
Workbooks provided (the best ever, we're biased).
A program for tangible personal shift, remembered for a lifetime.
Workshops designed to engage + align on team or organisational culture, and drive individual responsibility + action towards creating the culture you want. A once-off workshop or a series of variably designed sessions with a preference for in-person connection and impact (adaptations made for virtual facilitation). Your Culture + mindset shifts are the foundation of this work.
Sometimes clients need more skill + understanding across the organisation in topical subjects. These targeted workshops are designed to suit and are facilitated as a series of interactive sessions.
Resilience, Smart Simplicity, The 40% Problem, Effective Delegation, Increasing Personal Accountability, + Emotional Intelligence are Frog favourites. These topics shift as organisational context (+ the world) changes. We also design and run 90-120 minute practical + fun keynote presentations for larger audiences.
A 3-month team online personal + professional development program using leadership concepts, research, exercises, workshop discussion, group and 1:1 coaching. AOP is valuable for the targeted pursuit of collective team or organisational objectives (agreed pre-launch). Often used for a team experiencing challenges or requiring additional support for a specific initiative.
Workbooks provided (the best ever, we're biased).
For tangible personal shift within a powerful group context.
This is the physical culmination of the Discovery. It's a compelling exhibition of your data, facilitated as an immersive experience for the team or organisation to literally walk through. The Frog-facilitated Gallery allows for a data-based exploration of current state, with all of its strengths, challenges, and opportunities open for discussion. It can also tease out future strategic options.
A sturdy foundation for establishing + implementing next steps which often make more sense to people because of the experience.
Programs designed to build leadership capability across specific levels of leaders (emerging to experienced, at one or mixed levels). With our repeatable leadership building blocks and any key tools you love, we'll design the approach to suit your needs. We agree format + delivery mode for maximum impact, and include application tasks + group coaching to ensure real work gets done with enhanced skill. Throw in a simulation and see awareness + capability go up another notch. Our LDPs are practical, expertly facilitated, and memorable... that's what people tell us.
These are designed to meet specific business needs and are focused on team dynamics, functionality, and effectiveness in achieving team + organisational goals. Refining team objectives focuses attention + drives measurable progress.
This work ranges from 2-sessions to quarterly offsites over a year, applying foundational tools to suit the team + its context (360 + debrief, Profiling instruments). Exec Coaching across the team often happens in parallel, contributing to team effectiveness. Our expertise is in facilitating connection of team members to each other + to the team's required results.
Reinforce
The Toolkit is a collection of practical, well-researched leadership + team effectiveness tools typically introduced in the 'Build' phase. We provide your toolkit in a format that works for your people + your business (physical, online, for ease of access and utility in everyday work). They're easy on the eye (quality stuff)... and co-branded so you know it's yours.
People don't necessarily understand why things happen, just that they do. Systems thinking is essential for leadership + culture consulting efforts; everything in organisations is connected (direction, ecosystem, and people). Work context is the process by which we ensure all components impacting organisational performance are aligned. We teach leaders about 'systems thinking' as we work with you to align various parts of the system.
After the heavy lifting, there must be some scaffold that helps people use the tools + techniques they've been taught, and ensures newcomers know they exist. When we develop a Maintenance program with you, we'll consider all parts of the system (in terms of its impact in sustaining performance), as well as the fit with accessibility, technological context, variability of employee experience, and more. Any efforts to maintain momentum + progress need to be self-service, and supported by senior leadership.
Team coaching falls into 2 categories. Teams being developed to:
1. Continue to improve teamwork, or
2. Leverage their existing capability to achieve a specific task, outcome or objective.
Either way, it's for teams with extraordinary performance in mind. All team coaching includes observation + feedback on how it operates. It's mostly preceded by Team 360 + group debrief workshop and Team effectiveness workshops.
1:1 coaching for Executive (and other) leaders. Based on agreed objectives that are good for the person's role, their career, and the business. Orchestrated in blocks, typically weekly or fortnightly (always to your needs).
A 360 + debrief provides a valuable foundation to any coaching adventure.
The Leadership cascade is a communication and action plan ensuring everyone understands the role they play in any development effort. It helps leaders above understand how to support individuals + the group 'in development'. Equally, we communicate with people who work for this group to understand what their leaders are trying to achieve, and what they can expect to see. Consistency of leadership tools + language, and proactive support throughout, will facilitate leadership at all levels.
