Leadership Programs
It is critical for leaders to engage in ongoing development, not only because of how their work affects the success of the organization, but because of the deep impact that they have on the work and lives of the people around them. The strongest leaders are always looking for opportunities to grow, to increase their self-awareness, to challenge their own assumptions, and to build skills to better lead and develop their people.
Karen Eisenthal creates leadership development programs for leaders at every level that both increase the capabilities of individual leaders and strengthen the leadership culture of entire organizations.
Karen is an expert facilitator and communicator with an innate ability to connect with people. Karen is a trusted advisor, one of those key performers you want with you when navigating management and corporate culture challenges. I really enjoyed working with Karen.
Areas of development include:
Developing and leading global teams and organizations, fostering a sense of purpose and vision
Increasing motivation, accountability, and performance
Communicating effectively, providing powerful feedback, managing conflict
Adopting effective leadership styles for different situations
Building trust and influencing; strengthening key stakeholder relationships
Increasing emotional intelligence and cultural competence
Championing inclusive leadership and psychological safety
Developing an authentic leadership brand/executive presence to have desired impact
Karen Eisenthal is a coach and facilitator to whom other people are drawn. Perhaps it's the positive energy she exudes or the friendly demeanor she radiates. Maybe it's the genuineness of her whole being. She is real! She is transparent! Not often in life do we come across people who are so authentic. Karen is vulnerable in her work and so others feel safe to be humble and vulnerable. Karen's curiosity and incredible emotional intelligence allow her to "get" what is going on with people. She has the rare skill of active listening to understand with empathy. Karen's leadership creates group environments in which people are engaged, mobilized, and interested, an amazing quality for a coach/facilitator, absolutely part of her brand. Karen also fosters long term learning and relationships by giving feedback and support which creates motivation and sets clear expectations. I recommend her highly as a coach and facilitator.
Karen's clients mention the positive impact not only on their KPIs and goals, but also on stress levels and professional and personal fulfillment.
Karen creates an Optimal Growth Environment in which participants:
- Are engaged in interactive and relevant content and activities
- Feel comfortable addressing their areas of development
- Are provided with challenges that generate curiosity, learning, and action
- Build skills, iterate, and get the results they want
Karen provides master facilitation, program and content design, and consulting in a range of offerings in virtual or hybrid settings.
Leaders emerge with a shared understanding, language, and tools that yield positive results for the individual, team, and organization:
- Company-wide leadership programs provide interactive content sessions for leaders across levels over 6 - 12 months. Additional executive coaching enhances individualized learning for participants. Clients learn best practices, focus on their own areas of development, and build skills.
- Train-the-trainer programs enable internal coaches and facilitators to hone skills to empower their colleagues with optimal learning experiences.
- Global Webinars support shorter, concentrated bursts of learning across teams and/or organizations. Participants are introduced to key content and skill sets in stand-alone or sets of programs.
Karen is a highly effective coach and trusted advisor. She creates a comfortable environment where someone feels open to share what is on their mind without judgment. Karen is a keen listener who intelligently probes and asks thought provoking questions. This approach helped me immensely to work through professional issues and devise plans on what next steps I would take to address them. This coaching gave me confidence, provided the tools to address issues in a different manner, and how to have more meaningful discussions in one-on-ones and meetings.
