Individual Contributor CORE Program

Organizational success hinges on strong leadership skills for all – from solo contributors to management newbies. Our Individual Contributor CORE Program focuses on science-backed, proven Tipping Point Skills™ – small, strategic shifts that drive powerful results. These curated skills work in harmony with our Manager CORE program, amplifying impact across your entire organization.

Training for Individuals

Our Individual Contributor CORE Program consists of five 2-hour workshops designed to equip individuals with essential skills for navigating change, advancing their careers, communicating effectively, and boosting productivity. By the end of the program, participants feel empowered and prepared to thrive in their roles.

Adaptivity & Resilience

When things are uncertain, many people freeze, make wrong decisions, or feel overwhelmed. In this workshop, you will practice techniques to stay calm, clearminded, and adaptive even when things are quickly changing. Skills include how to diagnose and optimize your default style under stress, how to make good decisions (even when information is confusing or limited), and how to create structure when things feel unstructured. You will leave feeling more capable and prepared for whatever comes your way.

Career Growth

Innovative, fast-growing organizations are constantly changing. This organizational reality means that there are rarely predictable “career ladders” to climb. Instead, career growth is more like rock climbing. It requires employees to collect a variety of skills and experiences and drive their development without expecting their manager to tell them how to grow. In this workshop, we teach the three things that research shows makes the biggest difference for individuals who successfully grow their careers: they understand their own strengths, they cultivate a diverse network, and they proactively build their skills.

Delivery Skills

When leading a meeting, giving a presentation, or handling difficult conversations, a speaker’s body language often matters as much as the words they use. In this workshop, we use tools from advanced perception research to make small changes in a meeting leader’s delivery style, leading to a big improvement in the ability to be persuasive and connect with an audience. We cut through the obvious stuff that everyone knows and move straight to the things that make the biggest difference. Participants walk away with a visible improvement in their delivery skills – both in person and virtual!

Live

Feedback Skills

High-quality feedback is at the heart of an organization’s ability to grow, adapt, and improve. However, many managers avoid giving feedback because it makes them uncomfortable, or they give feedback that leaves their direct reports feeling frustrated and confused. The good news is: research reveals that there are simple steps managers can take to immediately and dramatically improve the quality of their feedback. In this workshop, participants will learn the science behind effective feedback, and practice giving feedback that is specific, actionable, and inspiring, even in tough situations and even when working remotely.

Influential Communication

Employees are usually hungry to make a greater impact on their organization and gain support for their ideas. Even individuals who have leadership roles prefer leaning on their influence rather than their authority to achieve results. But influence seems like such an abstract skill that most people don’t know how to start building it. When we think about earning influence, we tend to envision projecting confidence or becoming more persuasive – skills that take years to master. Instead, we can become more influential immediately just by changing the quality of our questions. The result? A questions-first culture in which employees are eager to hear one another’s perspectives and empowered to pursue their ideas proactively.
