Free Webinar /// Leadership Blind Spots: How to Identify and Address Them Through Coaching

Virtual Event
Tuesday, March 19, 2024 @ 10:00am-11:00am ET

Do leaders see themselves as others see them?

Our new global study of more than 40k leaders indicates that it’s remarkably challenging for leaders to see themselves accurately. Even dedicated, effective leaders experience perception gaps: behaviors where the leader’s perception of themselves does not align with how their colleagues perceive them. In fact, the average leader has 9 significant perception gaps – that’s over 40% of the leadership behaviors assessed.

As coaches, we refer to these gaps as behavioral blind spots – and they can create major hurdles to effective development. The more a leader misinterprets how they are being experienced by others, the more likely they are to spin their wheels working on behavioral changes they don’t need to make. Moreover, they may be missing out on developmental opportunities that are more relevant to their work, their colleagues, and the organization. The result? Wasted time and resources invested in development – and ultimately, personal and professional frustration when developmental efforts fail to materialize.

Join us in this data-driven webinar to discover:

  • How prevalent leadership blind spots really are, according to new research
  • The top 5 most common leadership behavior blind spots
  • Strategies for helping leaders understand their blind spots – and coaching tips to tackle them
  • Assessment tools to reveal a leader’s unique behavior profile and personal blind spots

Free Webinar /// Coaching for Confidence: A Data-Driven Approach

Virtual Event
Wednesday, June 12, 2024 @ 10:00am-11:00am ET

Even the most talented leaders can experience a crisis of confidence. When self-doubt sneaks in, it can be hard to shake – and it can limit leaders’ ability to exert their influence, demonstrate their skills, and move their careers forward. Boosting a leader’s confidence can be a major benefit of coaching. But making meaningful progress requires more than a pep talk.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how a research-driven, behavior-based approach can help you coach individuals to embrace a more courageous approach to leadership.

Leveraging new findings from a global study of more than 7,000 leaders, we’ll reveal:

  • The specific leadership behaviors associated with conveying confidence
  • Whether leaders can project confidence – even if they’re not feeling it
  • Specific strategies and coaching tips to help leaders develop a self-assured presence

Drawing from both research and real-world experience, our experts will provide you with action-ready ideas to boost the benefits of your coaching.

Certification: Sales Performance Assessment (SPA) (2-part series)

Virtual Event
Contact the MRG team for dates @ 10:00am-12:00pm ET

MRG’s Sales Performance Assessment™ (SPA) has proved dramatically effective in helping develop sales behaviors — and boost sales results — for organizations around the world.

Sales is a highly visible function with no room for mediocrity, yet most companies know surprisingly little about the unique blend of behavior and motivation that creates success. Our research on sales performance indicates there is no single pathway to success as a sales person; rather, top sales performers differ depending on their industry, company, geography, and role. MRG’s model of 18 sales practices and 6 sales drivers provides insight into individual sales performers and collective sales forces.
