“Authentic Life: Helping Leaders and
Executives to finally GET A LIFE!”

Most of us are not taught personal leadership skills:
self-awareness, values, intrinsic motivation and life
balance, least of all empowering others. Without
feedback, support and accountability, we try new
thoughts and behaviors without lasting results. This
shows up in profitability. This is where MSBCoach
steps in. We partner with you to develop authentic
leadership and build high-performance teams by
investing in individuals…
-turning potential into success!

visionaries. They have a drive
to achieve the most out of
their career, business, family,
and personal life. The coach is
their partner, mentor,
facilitator and encourager to
help individuals discover their
dreams (tapped and
untapped), map out a plan and
accomplish the impossible.

right; leadership is doing the
right things.”

coaching, MSBCoach does the same. We have added a team of
skilled coaches and support staff who work diligently to bring the
best in leadership information and innovation to every MSBCoach
client we serve.
As we continue to grow, we look forward to a successful
partnership with you.

ISC: INDIVIDUAL & TEAM COACHING MODELS

As a leader or team member you are creative and whole. As a leader or
team member you are the core. Each leader and team member makes the
gears in this process turn.

In the I Phase the team will partner with your coach to identify
challenges, opportunities and discuss what you want to accomplish.
Together we gain understanding by using tools such as: Strength Finder,
DISC Personality Profile, 360° Feedback, and Emotional Intelligence.

The S Phase allows you to be mentally and emotionally prepared to
accomplish what the team has identified in the I Phase. This phase is not
about finding “THE” answer but rather opening
your mind to explore all the possibilities to the
answer.

1. Shift mindsets where there are mental
barriers
2. Discuss probing questions regarding:

A. Barriers in reaching goals

B. Energy
C. Work-life balance

In the C Phase we will discover ways to create
breakthroughs for the team’s future. We will
combine information from the I and S Phases to
create an environment for personal and team success.

1. Set goals and timeframes

2. Create a plan of action
3. Execute your plan of action

EELP– EMPOWERING & EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM

Our Mission is to empower executive and emerging executive leaders to
be authentic in self-leadership and lead high performance teams and
organizations.

You will see real-time differences immediately
You will gain an integrated perspective
You will be more successful in practical affairs
Our approach is outcome oriented
We do not give you the answers but the tools to explore all
the possible answers
You will learn to engage in critical thinking

Are you looking for ways to enhance your business success, make
impactive leadership decisions, and use creative and strategic problem
solving? Would you benefit from a support team of experienced
business owners, executives, and like-minded peers? Are you a current
or emerging executive leader? Have you looked at MBAE programs but
are not sure what the right fit is for you? Have you completed your
MBA and still want more? Or have you looked at MBA programs but
are not sure if they are the right for you?

If you answered yes to two or more of the above questions our
Empowering & Emerging Leaders Program (EELP) may be exactly
what you are looking for. Through EELP, you will see immediate
return on investment. EELP is for both current executives and
emerging executives. You will improve leadership skills as you
collaborate with relevant, real-life, successful executives and
entrepreneurs. The EELP program provides a flexible learning
environment for information exchange in an executive friendly format.
All topics are real-time applicable to issues leaders face on a daily
basis. There are programs designed for emerging executive leaders,
current executive leaders, and combination sessions.


EELP– EMPOWERING EXECUTIVES LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

EELP can be done on site with your leadership team or
individuals may participate in our nationwide EELP
Competitive pricing
Real-world experience of instructors vs. the traditional
educational/theory experience
Smaller classes for collaboration and relationship building
One-on-one time with instructors
Peer group coaching
Individual coaching
Real-time experiences and whitepapers to express
practical application of what is being learned
Class flexibility

Our Faculty is one of the many attributes that sets EELP apart. You will
learn from real-world, experienced executives and business owners.
Our faculty is highly engaging and inspiring. They are passionate about
investing in other leaders to empower their lives and careers.

Our EELP will empower you to become exceptional as you lead with
authentic leadership. Authentic leadership begins with self-discovery.
This is where a leader explores what drives them. Out of self-
awareness, true leaders emerge. Seventy-five percent of Stanford
Graduate School of Business Advisory Council recommended self-
awareness as the most important capability for a leader to develop.
This is the very reason Phase 1 of the EELP is dedicated to self–
leadership, and Phase 2 to team and organizational development.



70% of leaders will fail in their newly promoted roles. This is a direct
result of the leader's inability to connect with the team. EELP sets
leaders apart. It ensures they will be a part of the 30% who succeed.
EELP begins with a leader's self-awareness and moves to applying
this awareness to building strong teams and organizations.

Out of self-awareness, true leaders emerge. The EELP is an Emerging
& Empowering Leaders Program designed to develop leaders from
the inside out. This is not a theory class. Emerging executives train
with successful entrepreneurs and executives who coach them in
self-leadership and developing high-performance teams. This is
real-life, real-time training, so you get immediate results. EELP is a
unique program that is successful by combining executive coaching -
in tandem - with powerful, interactive workshops.

Seventy-five percent of Stanford Graduate School of Business
Advisory Council recommend self-awareness as the most important
asset for a leader to develop. This is why we begin by evaluating a
person’s true intrinsic and extrinsic motives, through discovering
authentic leadership. We increase awareness of one's strengths and
discover the importance of:

emotional intelligence
self-management
relationship management
social awareness
values, ethics, goals
personal wellness and leadership
balance in processing
work/life integration
executive presence

Visit www.emergingleader.info for more info

We embrace a holistic approach to leadership for the leader and the
organization. This approach opens a leader's understanding to the
interconnection of every department within the organization.



The second phase of the program focuses on leading high-
performance teams and organizations. We work with leaders to
engage in critical thinking and encourage their teams to do the same.
We explore the best practices in:

delegation
communication
motivation
talent recruitment and retention
dealing with conflict
tough conversations
project management
managing laterally and managing up
managing different generations
stimulating creativity in the workplace
running effective meetings
innovation
situational leadership

We take pride in our approach. We do not give our participants the
answers but the tools to explore all the possible answers.

LINCOLN ON LEADERSHIP SERIES

“None of us are likely to achieve the leadership of Abraham Lincoln, but
what an example from whom to learn and emulate. He was authentic.
The principles he practiced have been reaffirmed with time. He was rare
in that he eschewed the autocratic style of power and authority common
in his day for one of humility and service. He exhibited “emotional
intelligence” long before we coined the term.”
-Ken Karr,
Executive Coach/Trainer MSBCoach

In an informal and highly interactive setting, participants read
assigned material in advance and come together to discuss content
and share related personal experience during the sessions
(individually and in teams).

The goal of this series is to strengthen one’s knowledge base of
leadership and to enlarge one’s sphere of relationships in the
leadership realm – with like minded leaders – increasing one’s
leadership support network.

360 Leadership Profile

The 360 Leadership Profile is a coaching tool designed to raise
self-awareness. The results of this confidential survey assist us in
co-developing a strategy that increases productivity and work
satisfaction, both leading to increased bottom line profitability.
These profiles are administered on an individual or organizational
basis and open the door to increased communication and a greater
understanding of the Leadership Development process.
The sample below shows one such profile:

that’s assault, not leadership.”
-Dwight D. Eisenhower

COACHING TOOLS

Emergenetics is a self-descriptive test — You answer a series of
questions about yourself, your responses are scored and the results
are compared with a group norm. Whether you are teaching, training,
hiring, leading, or interacting with your team, Emergenetics methods
facilitate communication and promote greater job and personal
effectiveness. It is unlike any profile or assessment process with which
you may be familiar.

These profiles are administered on an individual or organizational
basis and open the door for increased communication and a greater
understanding of the Leadership Development process. (see pp. 67)

DISC Personality Profiles: Being an effective leader and team member
involves understanding yourself and others. Learning your
personality style and other personality styles will help you be more
successful in work and personal relationships. Over 70% of career
failure is due to an inability to get along with and relate to others, not
the technical skills, as one may think. They are misunderstandings of
how people think, feel, and act.

In this workshop you will discover and understand different types of
personalities according to DISC. By identifying personalities, we can
live and work more effectively with others. Learning how to recognize
individual drives can be enlightening so enjoy the process!

DISC is an acronym for:
Dominance
Influence
Steadiness
Conscientiousness

The DISC profile consists of a series of words where you choose the
words most like you and the words least like you to get results in two
areas, the first being “This is what is expected of me” and the second
being “This is me.” DISC is available in several different versions for
leaders, teams and wellness.


COACHING TOOLS

Emotional Intelligence: Logical intelligence will set leaders and team
members up for one level of success in their job. But to move to higher
levels of effectiveness you must also develop your emotional
intelligence (EQ). When you combine both intelligences together,
you will understand yourself better, get along better with colleagues
and lead more powerful and successful organizations. In this session,
you will learn how to identify and handle your emotions as well as
gear them towards a positive outcome. You will learn how to respond

Strength Based Leadership Assessments: The question leaders should ask
themselves and their team members is, “Do you have the opportunity to do
what you do best every day?” Chances are, the answer is “no”. Too often
natural talents go untapped in the workplace and we devote way too much
time to fixing our shortcomings rather than developing strengths. This
survey was developed by Gallup to help leaders and their teams understand
and value the strengths they bring to the table. When you combine the
Strength Based Leadership and Team training with the survey, we are able
to begin to create a Strength Based organization where people thrive in
what they do and love to come to work. Through the assessment each per-
son will learn their top five strengths.

MBTI: The key to successful leadership and strong teams is communication.
The MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) is a tool that can be used to
achieve effective and productive communication. People receive, process,
and act upon information differently. If you understand their preferences
and then communicate in a way that they understand, chances are you will
not only get what you expected, but those with whom you communicate will
feel good about how they received and acted on your communication. Here
is how MBTI benefits leaders:
Provides insights into the best way to coach employees
Builds a management framework that affirms differences and allows for
them
Identifies the rewards and motivators for individuals based on their
preferences and not rules and regulations
Explains how different preferences approach goal setting, problem
solving and decision making
Maximizes a team's diversity in order to reach more useful and
insightful conclusions

FIRO-B: The Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior
(FIRO-B) is a highly valid and reliable tool that assesses how an individual’s

als. Leaders can use the FIRO-B to:
Maximize the impact of your actions at work
Identify options for increasing your job satisfaction and productivity
Explore alternative ways to achieve your career goals
