Effective leaders have specific skills and subscribe to specific strategies that determine their success in developing relationships with follower:

  • Being centered, genuine, authentic and real and taking the full responsibility of who and what you are.
  • Being able to communicate effectively, which includes the ability to not only speak, but also to listen to others as they speak in their own words and to understand what is being conveyed
  • Being empathetic  toward your work force; the skill of choice when they want to grow, learn or develop.
  • Being able to maintain an unconditional positive regard;  the ability to keep a full functioning relationship with others even when you are feeling a threat towards your integrity. 

We partner with our client companies in order to provide them with a range of customized Leadership Development and talent  management Programs. Through this partnership approach we work together to develop a smooth-flowing leadership pipeline that will increase the leadership benchmark strength of client organizations. The result provide outstanding outcomes designed to ensure a balanced leadership culture within the client organization that focuses not only on results, but also on people.

Testimony

 

Edith Samouillet of Turning Points facilitated a 3-day leadership workshop in the fall of 2010 for Evergreen Business Builders of which I am a member. The focus of those sessions was to help us collectively chart a new direction for the group—one that would ensure its continued success as the premier business networking organization in the Colorado foothills area.

The forum encouraged us to work together as a team and challenge ourselves to think outside of the box. Edith is a skilled facilitator who is truly at the top of her game. She knows exactly how to lead a group and keep her “students” attentive and on course to finding the answers they seek. Edith’s process led me and others to discover that the answers to everything we do lies within ourselves.

Not only did each participant find the necessary solutions to enhancing the effectiveness of Evergreen Business Builders, but also each participant came away with new skill-sets that could functionally be applied to every aspect of both their personal and professional lives.

I totally enjoyed the entire experience! Edith Samouillet’s approach to strengthening and improving the proficiencies of today’s leaders is innovative and effective. The high-level motivational state her sessions produced was energizing!  I would recommend Edith Samouillet and her company, Turning Points, to any organization that wants to move its leaders and its organization to higher levels of accomplishment and success.
