The Leader’s Discipline™

1-3 November 2027 — LIVE in Victoria

including VIRTUAL Recharge(s) via RSVP

 

The Leader’s Discipline™ is a program that teaches a coaching approach to leadership, positioning people for their finest contribution.

Leadership isn’t just found in the C-suite. There are leaders at every level of an organization. Find those promising people. Invest in developing their leadership skills. And position them to practice toward mastery.

Participants will

  • learn immediately useful tools to increase employee performance and engagement;
  • build capacity for coaching emerging leaders and teams;
  • increase confidence in giving and receiving feedback;
  • learn about the impact of personal conduct on outcomes; and
  • practice tools that inspire and build trust across their teams.

What characterizes mastery of these concepts?
Graduates of The Leader’s Discipline are equipped with tools to be better listeners, more reflective colleagues, and to help position others for success by removing interference. These leaders manage their conduct, accept responsibility rather than place blame, and approach workplace issues with curiosity rather than judgment.

How to further integrate your new leadership practices?
New leadership practices are more easily integrated into your repertoire when they are reinforced by Recharges following the initial course. Even more importantly, we will create the space for you to reflect on your practice of leadership, so you can ask yourself, “Am I practicing leadership the way I aspire to?”

The Events

The In-Person 3-Day Course begins with a Participant Reception and Dinner, Monday, 1 November.

The following 2 days, Tuesday and Wednesday, 2-3 November will be full days of experiential learning from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, with nourishing breakfasts, lunches and breaks provided.

Free Virtual 2-Hour Recharges are offered November 30, plus more dates in 2028 – click here to RSVP

In these sessions, we will meet on a weekday morning for 2 hours on Zoom to share our experiences as we begin to integrate the leadership practices we learned in the course, and gain valuable feedback to help us continue to develop our practice.

Participants must commit to be present at all 3 days of the course, and are offered the opportunity to attend Recharges with other program graduates via RSVP, included as part of your program registration.

Opportunity in Conflict™

3-5 May 2027 — LIVE in Edmonton

 

You have realized that the way you conduct yourself affects the situation around you. In a difficult situation, you trust yourself to be in the moment and see clearly what needs to be addressed. You have found a way of being honest, so that others find theirs. You know that there are many sides to a story and more than one solution to intractable problems. This is why people trust you with the tough stuff.

Participants will

  • practice skills for analyzing and transforming difficult situations;
  • develop an understanding of interest-based negotiation and how to do it;
  • gain new strategies in preparing for and navigating through difficult conversations; and
  • develop abilities in knowing what to listen for and how to respond.

The Event

The In-Person 3-Day Course begins with a Participant Reception and Dinner, Monday, 3 May.

The following 2 days, Tuesday and Wednesday, 4-5 May will be full days of experiential learning from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, with nourishing breakfasts, lunches and breaks provided.

Participants must commit to be present at all 3 days of the course.

Conflict Management Tips From Our Roy Group Experts

“Problems compound when, in the heat of a conflict situation, we go dark. It’s not that we go dark for any sort of vengeful reasons, either; usually it’s just that our bandwidth is low, we’re not sure what the right course of action is, we’re worried that we’ll weaken trust, or we’re afraid of making it worse.” — Anne-Marie Daniel in The High Cost Of Avoiding Conflict: Six Tips For Handling Disharmony

“Learning how to handle conflict is incredibly important for leaders. It’s important for anyone, really, unless they’re living in a cave on a mountaintop, but significantly so for leaders, as they set the tone for their team’s engagement and ability to work in harmony.” — Alice Estey in From Combat To Connection: Turning Conflict Into A Productive Force

“Most of our clients have been introduced to a coaching approach to leadership at some point in their engagement with us. They embrace the practical tools and the underlying philosophy. The question they inevitably ask is, ‘How does this approach work when emotions are high? When you have “skin in the game” and when an inevitable change of course is really, really uncomfortable?’ ” — Bradley Chisholm in Missed Opportunity: A Coaching Approach to Conflict
