With Skip Lackey

Learn how to embrace the current evolution of leadership with emotional intelligence and conscious engagement skills to create a truly sustainable business.

According to a recent Gallup poll — 70% of the world’s workforce are disengaged. A NEW paradigm of “engagement leadership” is needed from our current and future leaders. Are you prepared or will you be left behind?

Deep down, YOU are a leader.

And you know it.

You feel the pull, you hear the calling to step up, the urge to speak up and take responsibility, but you haven’t been able to completely show up in the way that you KNOW you are meant to.

You have read the books, taken the seminars and listened repeatedly to others tell you how you need to lead and yet, the inner volume of your leadership “wisdom” is still turned so low that others are not responding and you are not getting the results you are seeking. You know there is a leader inside, one that can step up and lead the charge, from a different place. You just don’t know how to access that part of you. And you find yourself asking, Why?

At The PRAXIS LEADERSHIP ACADEMY you will be introduced to a new you, a new way of being and new strategies allowing for results that will change and shift both your home and work life… from the inside out.

Whether you are a man or woman, young or seasoned, manager, leader, owner or visionary – people are longing for conscious leaders to step up and guide them to engage in the bigger picture of life and work.

The Praxis Leadership Academy

Based upon 8 Pillars of success proven to be needed in today’s social and business climates:

Authenticity

Consciousness

Emotional and Social Intelligence

Mindfulness

Resilience

Systems

Vision

Engagement

At PLA we offer a comprehensive series of three, 5-day programs that will break you out of the invisible shell that has been holding you back from expressing your full potential.

But… only if you are willing and able to first, turn the attention completely on you, your thoughts, your behaviors, your limitations and hidden strengths.

The first week will be all about YOU uncovering, owning and shedding the buried “crap” that has held you back and kept you from releasing the authentic personal presence within that is just waiting to be unearthed.

During the second week you will step back and look at the bigger picture of life and work. You will learn strategies on how to apply the true leader that you are in all areas. You will continue to free yourself of an even deeper set of old limiting patterns so that you can accept the inner call to lead. You will learn how to fully embrace and embody your core values, passion and purpose so that your every action reflects this intent.

From here, others will feel, resonate and respond to your clearly laid out mission, vision and purpose for yourself, your business and/or your organization. This clarity and transparency will then be contagious to those around you.

By the third week, you will then be ready to learn a set of tools to deliver your message in a way that will move others into deliberate action creation, or to welcome an atmosphere of change, collaboration and ultimate success.

Leading Yourself First – The Insight Experience

Discovering What Engagement Leadership Really Is

Module I

Facilitated by PLA Founder: Skip Lackey

Let’s get clear… What is Conscious Leadership to you?

Who are leaders that you admire?
What stops you from being that kind of leader?
What might be in the way of you being the best leader you can be?

In Module One, you will uncover hidden belief systems, unconscious concepts and the origin of old leadership habits and patterns running your show.

Prerequisite: Open to EVERYONE!

The Praxis Leadership Academy (PLA) is not your typical leadership training program where you are given a set of prefabricated rules to follow and then left to figure out where and how to apply them. Instead, you are offered a specialized training partnership based upon what today’s non-conventional leaders are implementing in order to increase revenue and create a workplace environment built upon trust, awareness and an unstoppable desire to collaborate, perform and succeed.

The overall OUTCOME of this life-changing program:

You will leave the final module with the ability to move a colleague, team, small group or even a large audience into taking action in a conscious and transparent way. Your passion and purpose will be evident by the congruency of your actions. As your new skills integrate you will be amazed time after time how differently people will begin to respond to you. How clients respond to you. How easy and effortless it will become to be the leader that is needed in each and every situation that may arise.

Why is a new paradigm of leadership necessary in today’s ever-changing workplace?

Simply put, the old, top-down, command-and-control leadership style is becoming obsolete. The way that we must lead is rapidly changing and we must change and grow with it or be ready to face crumbling false sense of security.

Here is an example of what is necessary right now to have a work environment that keeps your workforce happy and engaged.

First, do you have a Mission, a Vision and Values identified?
Next, if you do, can you say it out loud, from your memory?
And if you have gotten this far in the questions, does everyone in your business know your organizations Mission, Vision and Values and can THEY recite them by heart?

I would lay odds that the answer is no.

Like 97% of typical Leaders and business owners, they might have crafted one that is either posted on the wall somewhere or is hidden away in a document only to be pulled out and dusted off once in a great while.

This is just the first step in conscious, engagement Leadership – EVERYONE in the company can recite what you stand for and what your top 3 to 5 goals for the year are. And when I say everybody, I mean EVERYBODY! From the top down and the bottom up.

Why is this one little thing so important?

I’ve heard it say that “how you do one thing… is how you do everything”, and this sets the tone for the transparency of the Leadership process. Everyone is important and everyone can do their part. Each and every person is integral and necessary or they shouldn’t be there. They ALL know their “why”. And that is the basis of engagement, leadership, sustainable success and more in today’s work environment.

Conscious, mindful, resilient, wide open leadership.

THAT’S what the workforce that is coming is asking for. Meet the call… or become stagnant and stale. It might work right now… and in just a few years time, it will be the kiss of death.

As the “baby boomer” generation ages and continues to fall out of the workplace, they are being replaced by the “millennials”, the vast majority of them put up with those out-of-date tactics. You will not be able to keep a team (with any real skill) in the future if you don’t embrace the new authentic leadership tools that are necessary for success in the 21st century. No matter HOW much you pay them. This is a game changer.

Millennials, otherwise known as “Generation Y”, those born between 1982 and 2003 are a force whose dominating presence and behavior (everywhere, but especially in the workforce) will define American life and culture in the next decade and beyond…

That’s a big shift in the next 10 years, so it’s understandable why the majority of companies are are planning ahead to make the most of a multi-generational workforce where millennials constitute a majority.

  • 92% believe that business success should be measured by more than profit.
  • 88% prefer a collaborative work-culture rather than a competitive one.
  • 74% want flexible work schedules
  • 64% of them say it’s a priority for them to make the world a better place.
  • 88% want “work-life integration” (which isn’t the same as work- life balance, since work and life now blend together intricately)
  • 80% of Gen Y said they prefer on-the-spot recognition over formal reviews, and feel that this is imperative for their growth and understanding of a job. They want to be appreciated just like any other generation of workers, but they like to be called out and recognized immediately as opposed to waiting around for a formal review.
  • 64% of millennials would rather make $40,000/ year at a job they love than $100,000/year at a job they think is boring. They must feel engaged with those around them.
  • Millennials who qualify as “engaged” in their jobs (nearly two-thirds of those surveyed) say they would continue to work in their current job, even if they won a $10 million lottery prize.
  • Companies experience high turnover with those employees identified as “millennials” – by a 2:1 margin versus previous generations. The hard, soft and opportunity cost of recruiting, hiring, onboarding and training employees who leave within their first 24 months is expensive.

The data speaks for itself. Give your millennial employees a work experience that they will love from the moment that they’re hired, and they’re much more likely to remain loyal to your company and brand.

Are you READY and ABLE to meet the call?
