Achievement Academy

CouRSES TO HELP YOU REACH YOUR FULL POTENTIAL

Courses for leaders

Leadership today is more difficult than it’s ever been. There’s a broader diversity of issues leaders face than ever before.  There’s more disruption to the workplace and in the workforce than ever before. On top of it all, this is the most competitive economic battleground in history. 

And through all of that, leaders are the arbiters of engagement, during a time when disengagement is the defining characteristic of today’s workforce.

The Achievement Academy for Leadership Excellence helps today’s leaders navigate that highly complex human capital landscape. 

In the Leadership Academy we will arm you with state of the art frameworks, processes, principles, and tools to help you know how to build and sustain high performing, highly engaged teams, no matter what work they do.

The Performance Iceberg

Why energy matters most

When it comes to human achievement, there are really only three big variables… there’s time, talent and energy. And while we tend to focus almost exclusively on time and talent, the research is clear… between the three, energy actually matters most.

If it’s so important, the question is how well do we know how to optimize for it within our teams and organizations.

In this course we’ll talk about the interplay between these three critical components, and why learning to activate and optimize the energy inside you is likely to be the number one driver of you becoming and achieving your full potential.

Leadership

Extraordinary vs Extravagant

How to become an extraordinary leader

We all know individuals who seem to flaunt their extravagant lifestyles either in person or on social media. Those who embrace lavishness and overabundance may do so at the expense of truly becoming extraordinary. When that happens in a leader, it can drive a wedge between them and those they lead, getting in the way of an extraordinary team experience.

Through this course, you’ll be able to identify opportunities to personally be more “extraordinary” as a leader; communicate the framework of an “extraordinary” culture to team members; and create a team-based plan to build measurable “extraordinary” features into the team experience.

Leadership & Community - Orient (1 of 4)

Leadership and Resilience

For a team's ups and downs

Resilience is a fundamental characteristic of high-performing teams. In this course, you’ll learn to build a team that is capable of rebounding from setbacks, recognize the role resilience plays in generating engagement, and foster psychological safety.

In this course we’ll talk about how to create a team environment that encourages resilience as way to respond to challenges. We’ll discuss how to create a team environment that encourages psychological safety and the role resilience plays in producing engagement. You’ll also learn about the “Forest Fire” strategy that promotes recovery or regeneration after failure as a resilience-building tool for teams.

Leadership

Five Voices

Managing energy within and without

In any organization, there are five voices. They are the voices of the market, the customer, the organization, the leader, and the employee. By focusing on the interplay between these voices, rather than listening to only one voice at a time, organizations will see increased engagement, satisfaction, and performance.

The Five Voices is a simple way of looking at how to relate to stakeholders in any organization. The missing link, however, is what goes on between the five voices.

For an organization to operate at peak effectiveness, it must find a way to balance these voices to be both market-driven, and driven and people-centered.

Leadership

Engagement During Leadership Transition

For a team's ups and downs

Times of leadership transition can represent substantial organizational opportunity, but they also carry substantial risk. They can be opportunities to increase and enhance engagement, but also can cause rampant disengagement.

Understanding the science of the 16 Elements and the 6 Pillar Process for Human Achievement, along with their corresponding tools, can help make these transitions go smoothly and successfully.

Leadership

16 elements for leaders

Play Video

Disengagement has become the defining characteristic of today’s workforce. Up to 80% of the workforce is disengaged and delivering only 20% of their total performance capacity.

The 16 Elements are the emotional underpinnings of engagement. Based on 20 years of research into engagement, we’ve identified the 16 primary drivers needed to activate the energy lying latent inside your teams and your organizations.

While you can learn more about each of the Elements individually in the 16 Elements Academy, we are in the process of building a new suite of courses, just for leaders, on the 16 Elements. 

To begin this journey, we’re releasing a series of courses on “Paired Elements” to show how these elements work together to create engagement and lead to highly successful teams.

Perspective and Identity

Leadership Through the Lens of Identity

Paired Elements for Leaders

This course looks at leadership through the lens of perspective and identity. The cyclical nature of perspective and identity, where one is either feeding or responding to the other, means that we need to be intentional about both.

You’ll learn about how your perspective has shaped your identity. You’ll evaluate how your leadership is shaping how your team perceives new opportunities and challenges.

You’ll also design a simple plan to connect each team member’s identity with the opportunities the team needs to pursue.

Leadership

Objective and Plan

Moving forward in the right direction

Paired Elements for Leaders

An objective is directional—it’s about moving at the right speed and in the right general direction.

A plan is a way forward strategy—it’s the next visible, actionable steps in service of reaching the objective.

As a leader, knowing your team’s individual and collective objectives and plans will increase your opportunity to engage them more effectively and to achieve greater success.

The distinction between objective and plan is an important one to get right, and getting it right can make all the difference in your team’s performance.

Leadership

Relationship and Mentor

The interplay of relationships in a team

Paired Elements for Leaders

Relationships and mentorships provide opportunities to support, challenge, encourage, teach, and develop, connect and communicate.

Leaders can be more effective when they are aware of what’s happening in the lives of their team members and how those events are impacting the team.

In this course we’ll explore the interplay of relationships, the role of a mentor, how all of this converges within the dynamics of a team.

We’ll talk about how you as a leader can leverage these fundamental elements to create increased satisfaction and engagement, while increasing both team and individual performance.

Leadership

Momentum and Alignment

How to effectively lead a team toward an objective

Paired Elements for Leaders

Momentum recognizes that objects in motion tend to stay in motion and objects at rest tend to stay at rest. In the same way, people in motion tend to stay in motion, and people at rest tend to stay at rest.

 

As such, Momentum is directly tied to the energy we need to move forward. It’s important to get the Energy just right to stay aligned.

Alignment determines if we’re moving in the right DIRECTION and at the right SPEED toward our objectives.

In this course we’ll talk about how to create harmony between momentum and alignment to keep your team moving toward their objectives.

Leadership

Environment and Space

Building and leveraging empowerment

Paired Elements for Leaders

Environment and Space, two of the 16 Elements of Human Achievement, have a huge impact in the workplace. As we define them at Life Engineering, Space is what you’re empowered to do and Environment includes what you can do with that empowerment.

In this course we’ll explore how leaders can build and leverage empowerment within their teams through intentional permission, autonomy, and innovation. This is ever more important in our remote and hybrid work environments.

Leadership

Investment and Score

Optimizing investment by tracking progress

Paired Elements for Leaders

Investment and Score, two of the 16 Elements in the Act Pillar of the Human Achievement Process, can work together in highly synergistic ways that can lead maximizing employee and team investment, while maintaining engagement and satisfaction.

In this course we’ll talk about both Investment and Score independently, and then how to bring them together in a way that can help leaders navigate treacherous terrain on complex journeys, but with far fewer bumps and bruises to the team and the organization as a whole.
