DESCRIPTION:

Leaders are struggling. Studies abound that confirm this truth. 50% of organizational employees leave their jobs to get away from bad leaders. Gallup reports that 51% of managers are not engaged in their job while 14% report actively disengaging from their work altogether leading a workforce where 7 out of 10 employees are not engaged in their work. The average workday for an executive leader is 13.5 hours during the week AND 5 hours on the weekend. CEO’s suffer isolation both professionally and personally due to the demands of the job which leads to a crisis of confidence. The “work never stops” cycle is detrimental to both a healthy professional and personal life. In his Leadership is Broken training, Robert teaches leaders how to break this cycle and develop an engaged team to increase earnings by up to 147%.

This session will be focused on teaching the skill of Graphical Facilitation. Graphical Facilitation is the art of drawing ideas, lessons, and training on flip-chart paper (or other digital mediums if applicable) in lieu of the dreaded power point slide decks. GF has many positive outcomes, including higher engagement during training, and it is a great “leave behind” artifact for the teams being trained which can be reference long after the traditional projector has cooled off. Graphical Facilitation also forces us to think simply and effectively as teachers, it helps us boil down topics to really what is important. It is a great skill to add to any facilitator’s toolbox!
