JLC and You---A TRUE Partnership!
You know what you need to improve on better than we do. You provide the information on your situation and the issues to address. We provide the knowledge of techniques, and ways of thinking, and practices that can enhance your individual capacity and create successful change! Our services enable the organization to develop itself, in a challenging and safe environment that fosters aspiration, conversation and seeing the complexity of the whole system of which they are a part.
Our services include:
Leadership Development and Coaching
Quality leaders are critical to any organization’s success. Companies that survive and prosper do so because of strong leaders. Our Leadership Development focuses on enabling leaders to produce change within themselves and others. By designing and holding quality conversations, leaders will be able to align their teams and build a shared vision of success that will enable them to reach their desired outcomes.
Building and sustaining a quality team can be challenging even for the most experienced leader. We enhance your current and future leader’s capacity to develop new ways of seeing and behaving in situations that they desire to change. This shift in thinking directly impacts the quality of the team dynamic, which produces better results.
Team Leadership Development and Coaching
Have you ever been part of a team and felt like you weren’t all on the same page? Did the lack of communication and the team dynamics make it difficult to achieve the desired outcome? Our Team Leadership Development provides teams the tools they need to engage in quality conversations that develop a common understanding, stay focused in every meeting to make every interaction productive, generate specific outcomes to keep projects or initiatives on track and on time. Quality relationships amongst your team, will generate aligned action and lead to quality results.
Organizational Effectiveness
Have you ever made a decision that didn’t exactly turn out as planned? Did you consider the intended and unintended consequences of it’s impact? All organizations are in a state of constant flux with many layers of interdependency. View your organization through a systems thinking lense, as a new way to understand continual change, interdependency, and complexity found within your organizations. This shift will allow you to deal more effectively with the forces that shape the consequences of our actions. Understanding the complexities within your organization will enable you to change systems more effectively, leading to stability and growth.
Meeting Design and Facilitation
On any given day there are over 25 million meetings taking place in boardrooms, on conference calls and in virtual environments across America. Companies, educational institutions, government agencies and non-profit organizations measure their efficiency and effectiveness by the success of their meetings. How successful are your meetings? Are participants engaged and committed to the result or complacent, distracted and unconnected? Does the true conversation that will save your organization time and money, take place in the parking lot?
Bring the parking lot meeting inside, by designing and facilitating engaging meetings, enabling your organization to build a common understanding, that will consistently generate aligned action and achieve faster results.
The Jorgensen Leadership Center collaborates with clients to design and facilitate meetings that will engage all participants, surface the wisdom from everyone in the room, identify critical success factors, and guide teams through organizational change. Whether you are meeting one on one, one to many, or in a virtual environment we can help you design and hold energized and productive conversations that will enable all members to collaborate effectively across time zones and cultures.
Keynotes
We believe an effective leader influences learning and enables meaning among those he or she leads. We invite you to enrich and invigorate your group’s leadership capacity by allowing JLC to share ideas about transformative learning and leading that may or may not be available in the esoteric rhetoric.
Our keynote addresses are not for spectators! Through elegant storytelling, JLC will illustrate how to connect ideas about learning and leading in a dynamic and interactive environment so your audience can build their capacity to connect the powerful ideas of leading and learning.
Sample Keynotes:
Enhance Your Meetings Using Conversational Leadership: Getting those 60 minutes of your life back! (Or how I learned to stop avoiding and love going to meetings)
Leaders devote 25-80% of their work time to meetings, yet how many of those meetings actually move the organization toward mission and vision accomplishment? Usually very few! Conversational Leadership capitalizes on the natural tendency of adults to learn through conversation.
Anyone leading a meeting can use “Conversational Leadership” to unify and focus participants during the meetings and to ensure aligned actions afterwards.
Designing and stewarding meetings that truly matter can be a key to system success. By using the conversational leadership methodologies the meeting designer and facilitator becomes a steward of learning conversations rather than a controller of people’s precious time.
Change in Difficult Times
Drawing on almost 30 years of experience of advising executives and teams in the government, private and non-profit sectors, Dr. Ray Jorgensen guides leaders in growing their personal success as well as the success of their teams and, ultimately, their organizations.
It has been often asserted that any organization is only as strong as its weakest employee. Expanding this notion to the modern, team- oriented work environment, and using a leadership model in which high-quality relationships lead to high-quality results, Dr. Jorgensen shows how every team is only as strong as its weakest relationships. How well and how quickly teams make decisions, inspire innovation, tackle performance problems, or learn from mistakes depend on the strength of relationships within a team.
Dr. Jorgensen demonstrates how leaders can shift attention away from individual personalities and onto the inner workings of relationships, and he shares ideas and tools you can use to build relationships strong enough to master your team’s toughest challenges.
High Quality Conversations Lead to High Quality Relationships which Lead to High Quality Results.
