Motivation -- it’s been the number one tool of leaders throughout history. 

Motivation worked during the “Industrial Age” and even the “Information Age” but times have changed.  Leaders that use the old carrot-and-stick motivation strategies find they are struggling today.

What happened?

Answer:  Evolution

We have evolved into the “Inspiration Age” which requires a new leadership approach with individuals and teams.

Motivation vs. Inspiration

The dictionary defines motivation as providing someone with a motive; to move, impel, induce, incite.

To inspire means to infuse with an encouraging or exalting influence, to animate, to stimulate by a divinity, a genius, an idea or a passion.

Inspiration is derived from the Latin root spirare, meaning to breathe, to give life, to express.

The difference is clear:  Inspiring is other-focused while motivating is self-focused. Inspiring serves you where motivating serves me.

The difference in teams is palpable: inspired people arouse the hearts of others—employees and colleagues, customers and suppliers—and this translates directly into improved business performance.

To build and lead inspired teams YOU must be inspired!

In the Leader As Coach Fast Track Program you'll learn proven strategies, tactics and tools for building and leading inspired (i.e. high performing) teams.

You’ll no longer need to rely on motivational “techniques”, seducing team members with carrots that speak only to their outer lives and superficial selves.

You’ll learn how to inspire superior performance by speaking to the inner lives and deeper needs of team members and anyone with whom you have a business relationship. 

The changes you’ll make will be profound.

You’ll show up differently and people will notice.

You'll receive the ongoing support you need to APPLY what you've learned in street-smart ways.

Best of all, you’ll be working in a community of like-minded people, all of whom are reaching for a higher and better way.

This is your opportunity to learn how to move yourself and your team beyond fear and resignation and into a place of possibility and power.

This is the path of the Leader As Coach.

This is an exciting journey I look forward to taking with you.

The best leaders today use the coach approach to build high performing teams because it’s the most effective way to leverage the strengths of the team.

In order for you and your organization to thrive you must learn how to lead using coaching skills.

Coaching is the next generation of management leadership.

In the Leader As Coach Fast Track Program you'll make the shift away from the ineffective traditional "carrot and stick" model of leading to a model based on inspiration, abundance and personal responsibility.

Examples of shifts you'll make:

From Traditional Leader - - TO - - Leader as Coach

1. Managing merely for results - - TO - - Developing the strengths of the employee
2. “You report to me” - - TO - - “Tell me how I can help”
3. Babysitting the employees’ smallness - - TO - - Challenging the employees to be great

Weekly Leadership & Personal Development Training

Each week Tom Heck, President and Founder of the International Association of Teamwork Facilitators and creator of the Leader As Coach Fast Track Program will lead a live and interactive Video Conference.  Each class is designed to help you make the transition from traditional manager to Coach Leader.

These weekly Leadership Video Conferences are held on Tuesdays from 1 to 2:15 pm Eastern (New York City time zone).  The weekly Group Coaching Calls (detailed further down the page) are held on Thursdays from 1 to 2 pm Eastern.  All calls are recorded and archived for your convenience.

Video Conferencing -- Convenient & Dynamic Learning

The video conferencing is not all lecture - - far from it.  In these video conferencing classes you'll be treated like the professional you are and expected to show up ready to ask questions, give comments, and share feedback.  It's a lot like a graduate level class.

We use Zoom video conferencing in a way that is a lot like a live (in person) workshop.  The instructor will place you in discussion groups of 2 to 4 people to talk (privately) with each other and then "bring you back" to the main (virtual) room.  You'll be engaged like never before.

Recordings Archived

Each video conference is recorded and posted at a special password protected "Members Only Area" where participants can also download class notes and resources.

"A lot of leadership development tends to be short-term "events" (reading a book, listening to a CD, attending a workshop, etc.).  Though valuable, this type of short-term training doesn't give you the opportunity to get feedback as  you apply what you're learning.  The Leader As Coach Fast Track Program is different because you learn new skills over a 7-week period and you have ongoing coaching and support from Tom Heck and the rest of the community as you apply what you've learned.  This program is a great investment."

How many times have you attended a great workshop or conference and intended to apply what you learned? 

And then the reality of your day-to-day challenges surface.  Time goes by and it's back to the same-old-same-old. 

What you need is ongoing support to fully apply what you've learned.

"What happens after training is just as important and probably more important than the training itself."
   -- Will Thalmer, Learning Expert

The Leader As Coach Fast Track Program provides you with weekly Group Coaching during the program so you receive the support and encouragement you need to put knowledge into action.

Group Coaching helps you APPLY what you're learning in this program and outside of this program.  Through Group Coaching, you'll convert learning into results that matter.

In sports, the highest performing athletes work one-on-one with a success coach because they've found that it helps them play at the highest level.  And in the business world, the highest performing leaders have found the same to be true - - working one-on-one with a success coach helps them play at the highest level.

Working one-on-one with a success coach costs between $700 and $3000 per month which can represent a financial barrier for many who aspire to become a high performing leader.

In the Leader As Coach Fast Track Program you'll have weekly opportunities to receive the same kind of one-on-one success coaching  that top leaders receive and it's all part of the program (no extra fee).

It's called "Laser Coaching" and it's 15 minutes of focused one-on-one support with Head Coach Tom Heck.  Tom has years of experience coaching leaders from around the world and he brings all of this to a laser-like focused session to help you. 

Many who enroll in the Leader As Coach Fast Track Program find these Laser Coaching Sessions worth the price of enrollment alone!

If all you do is learn new information then the program has failed.  To be a success, you must DO something.  You must take action.  This piece of the equation is so important that we've built in a meaningful and effective Accountability System designed to help convert learning into action and ultimately, success.

The job of this program is not complete until learning has been converted into results that matter to you and your organization.  The Accountability System helps assure results.

The Accountability System has several layers, all of which are designed to support you and the rest of this learning community.

You'll be supported and held accountable by:

• Head Coach Tom Heck
• Your Assigned Study Partner
• Your Direct Supervisor at Work
• One of Your Direct Reports
• The Leader As Coach Fast Track Program Learning Community

Have you ever attended a conference where a highly paid keynote speaker presented career (or life) changing information and WISHED you had the opportunity to ask the speaker questions? 

If you've ever helped arrange a conference and brought in a highly paid keynote speaker then you know it can be difficult if not impossible to arrange a Q&A session for the conferees (too many people and not enough time). 

The Leader As Coach Fast Track Program is different.

Here you'll have the opportunity to speak with some of the top team and leadership development authors and trainers in the world.

Here are a few of the speakers who've visited our program in the past:

David Allen -- Productivity guru and best selling author of "Getting Things Done - The Art of Stress Free Productivity"

Barry Rellaford -- Head trainer at Stephen M.R. Covey's "Speed of Trust" program

Bea Fields -- Gen-Y in the workplace expert and author of "Millennial Leaders"

Gregg Levoy -- Author of "Callings: Finding and Following An Authentic Life"

You might be wondering why these and other famous highly paid trainers and authors visit the Leader As Coach Fast Track Program as a guest speaker. 

The reason is simple:  40,000 subscribers

That is the number of subscribers to the e-newsletter of the International Association of Teamwork Facilitators (IATF).  This list helps Head Coach Tom Heck to convince famous authors and trainers to visit our live classes and be in dialogue with you.  They know I'll be recording the conversation and then posting it at the IATF website where leaders, trainers, facilitators, coaches, and  educators from 103 countries will have access to it.  Yes, these guest speakers do enjoy sharing their wisdom with you AND they also enjoy knowing new and more people will be exposed to their work through the IATF e-newsletter.

Simply put, we're able to leverage the IATF list size to your benefit.

In addition to the special guest speakers, we provide you with free access to recordings of IATF leadership and personal development TeleSeminars that others pay $79 each to access.

When calculating the cost of training and developing you must take into account your carbon footprint.

How many greenhouse gases are produced as a result of the "traditional" model of training and development involving traveling to training events by car or plane?

By enrolling in the Leader As Coach Fast Track Program you can reduce your carbon footprint and thus help save the environment.

And while you're reducing your carbon footprint and helping the environment you're also saving a lot of money on air travel, ground transportation, lodging and meals and best of all, the Leader As Coach Fast Track Program is ten times more effective at creating long-term positive change than any 1, 2 or 3 day workshop you can find.

"I believe that the best leaders of today are those who bring a true coaching approach to their leadershp roles and organizations.  Why? Because a true coaching approach places the responsibility and the power of decision making and accountability squarely in the hands of followers, which at the end of the day makes people much more capable, confident and productive.  The Leader As Coach Fast Track Program is one of the first programs I feel comfortable endorsing, because it achieves just this.  If you are a manager, supervisor or leader of any size organization, family, congregation or company, you will not only learn how to coach and empower your followers to achieve what you know they are capable of achieving...you'll actually be puting into action what you learn during the program so that the people around you grow before your very eyes.  I give this program 5 stars!  * * * * *"
