Leadership In The Real World

There are hundreds of seminars and workshops on the subject of leadership. Far too many of them focus on theory and not reality. Drawing on years of experience training leaders across the country, expert and motivational speaker Ken shares Real World insights and techniques that are not only sound, they work! 

Rather than just expounding on abstract principles, Ken’s Leadership In The Real World Program will give your leadership team the vital skills they need to be effective in the real world.

Ken takes the mystery out of leading others and makes it plain. Whether you are a team leader, manager, supervisor, coach, pastor, or boss, this book will revolutionize the way you view leadership.
Leadership In The Real World consists of 4 sessions or modules that should be taught every quarter. It is done this way to condition the participants to The Canion Methodology of leadership. Ken uses Assertiveness Conditioning to teach these principles so that they are solidified in each participants mind. He uses each session to build on the previous one.
To ensure effectiveness, Ken simulates real world situations during training, to prepare participants for what will occur as a result of using the strategies and techniques that he imparts.
*Individual coaching and follow-up can be included with the program at the client’s request. This isn’t included in the standard module.
