The Influential Leader
Radically improve your performance and influence
The Influential Leader™ is an integrative coaching program that helps leaders develop and perfect the nine essential influencing competencies of an integrative leader.
The Influential Leader™ is centred around three questions: How you See yourself, How you Sell yourself and How you Serve others.
The Influential Leader™ program has three development tracks consisting of three competencies each:
1. SEE – How you See yourself, engaging Self and analysing Synaptic relationships - Discovery
2. SELL – How you Sell yourself, what deeply Satisfies you and capitalizing on your Strengths – Design
3. SERVE – How you Serve others, your Strategy and your compelling Story – Destiny
The Influential Leader™ follows an integrative approach – Integrative comes from the Latin; integrātus – to renew, restore, make things whole. Thus an integrative leader is well grounded, authentic, congruent and focused.
The Influential Leader™ can live with ambiguity yet always seeks a return on engagement that is creative, a solution that is not pre-determined. An integrative leader believes dialogue creates a new destiny – the art of synthesizing ideas and viewpoints to make things better in a crucible of authentic engagement.
Integrative leaders are self-aware of the influence of their own fixed mindsets and models of reality and are able to park them, be curious and embrace ambiguity as they assertively lean towards finding innovative and integrative solutions to challenges at work and home.
The way you see yourself and engage others has an impact on the results you get with colleagues and customers. It’s also a reflection of the story you tell yourself and your articulation of who you are.
When you change your story as an integrative leader, you change your results. And when you get better results, you experience a greater sense of purpose, more fulfillment and quality of life.

You will recognize and acknowledge beliefs and patterns that limit or cloud your success, interrupt old patterns of engagement and let go of beliefs and stories that drain your energy and detract you from your clarity and sense of purpose. Coaching tools and methods are great assets for your leadership toolbox: More coaching tool here. You will meet others who have struggled and found their niche in the world and learn from their experience and processes. You will explore and embrace new ways of thinking, ways of being and taking action using a future backwards model that drives your new story. Dene exhibited an ability to pick up on my strengths and demonstrated how I could use them to my advantage in both my career and my speaking style. It was evident through my interactions with Dene that he has a solid theoretical and practical understanding of interpersonal relations within the business environment. He taught me several frameworks that will be instrumental in overcoming personal challenges and team conflicts. Dene was very accommodating to my needs and was a pleasure to work with. – Jacob Goranson The Influential Leader™ is a transformative and integrative coaching program that will provide you with the tools to create your preferred destiny and a greater sense of authenticity, purpose and influence in the workplace and at home.
