ONE-DAY WORKSHOP: Learn to Lead on Purpose

Richard Monette
Are Your Managers Purposeful Leaders?

Purposeful leaders:
  • Are clear in their intentions and actions, demonstrating consistent success in reaching long-term goals;
  • Take time to reflect and strategize, ultimately improving their efficiency;
  • Are consistently creative and innovative, setting them apart from others;
  • Sustain a healthy work-life balance, attaining a high level of satisfaction, fulfillment and overall happiness;
  • Are highly respected leaders and teammates.

In this workshop, Richard Monette calls upon his diverse background as a strategic change agent and executive coach to demonstrate how – and why – leading with purpose is critical to achieving all-around success. The methods Richard introduces throughout the day are highly motivating and easy for leaders to quickly adopt into their own management styles.

Workshop Overview

What is a purposeful leader?
Richard provides the basis for this workshop with an inspiring discussion around two basic concepts:

  • What is purpose?
  • How are purpose and performance integrated into a leader’s daily activities?

How does a purposeful leader behave?
Richard has participants “job-shadow” a purposeful leader, exploring key behavioural competencies that make purposeful leaders effective and valuable:

  • Seeking and promoting complete success;<
  • Adapting leadership style as appropriate to any given situation;
  • Combating (and putting out) fires in a strategically aligned fashion;
  • Approaching decision-making as a process rather than an event;
  • Integrating strategic planning, tactical delivery and team development;
  • Engaging the whole team in developing and executing the strategy and
  • Promoting innovation by being systematically purposeful.

How does a purposeful leader deliver?
The crux of the workshop, Richard leads the process of building personalized scorecards designed to allow participants to focus and improve their purposeful leadership. At the end of this intensive exercise, participants will take away a renewed perspective on leadership. They will have gained an array of knowledge, skills, competencies and techniques to share the benefits of leading with purpose throughout their organizations.

Who Will Benefit?

This workshop is ideal for leaders from organizations of all types and sizes. Richard will tailor his program to fit your organization’s needs.


Post-Workshop Coaching Options

Change is a process, never an event.

This workshop is an applied leadership development program. Some managers return to their fast-paced, sometimes overwhelming workplace and struggle to apply what they have learned. Through coaching or follow-up sessions, Richard ensures that your development investment is leveraged and incorporated within your organization.

Below are a few of the verbatim comments offered by the workshop participants:

One of the most empowering seminars I have attended!

Lots of interaction with group; thought-provoking discussion as group or one-on-one, since we were a smaller group; speaker was very encouraging to everyone and made everyone feel that they were special and had something important to contribute.

(Richard) is a great person and great speaker!

The size of the group was terrific; we were able to engage the speaker and ask questions when needed. Overall, I loved this presentation and thought that (Richard) did a terrific job!


Optional post-workshop executive coaching is available in person or by phone. Richard also offers “Refreshers at Lunch” sessions.
