  THE TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER-MANAGER EXPERIENCE (TLM)This transformation is actually where we start – it’s transformation “boot camp”! Conducted in live, virtual or hybrid cohorts, TLM leverages heart learning to transform your management team into leaders in groups – optimizing both learning and team building.At the heart of TLM is our seven-week workshop, consisting of weekly sessions of 75 minutes each. Between sessions, participants benefit from three half-hour PERSONAL COACHING SESSIONS, a battery of skill-based and values-based strength assessments, and a personal leadership survey administered anonymously by SLS. They also leave with a hard-cover copy of Gallup’s First Break All the Rules – a seminal work on employee engagement and a source for some of the TLM material. Show less
