The Potential Group has been supporting leaders to lead profound change for over 30 years. Our generative approach to change leadership has been leveraged by health and academic organizations across Canada. As we do our work, we have noticed that leaders across these sectors have capacity for initiating and launching change; the challenge often occurs around sustaining engagement and maintaining momentum. Sustainable change in a complex system is a dance between reinforcing a galvanizing vision, implementing concrete and measurable goals, and adapting to changing environment and emerging ideas.

Leading Strategic Change and Innovation (LSCI) is a 9 month coaching and learning program for leaders who are looking to enhance their effectiveness in leading strategy and change through relevant, practical and timely learning and thought partnership with peers and highly skilled leadership coaches/consultants. The program is especially meaningful for clients who want to build upon and leverage planning work already done to bring key initiatives to life.

Our flagship learning program is our 9 month Leading Strategic Change and Innovation Leadership program.

Program Elements:

  • 7 individual coaching sessions for each participant

  • Opportunity to engage additional coaching at a discounted

The Potential Group teaches and develops with you tools to leverage the strengths, intentions and successes your teams already have to create momentum (aka enthusiasm) to move your projects forward. Whether it is patient and staff safety, team resilience or a new initiative, the skills I learned help me and the team recognize what is working well and how to use that knowledge to direct and energize all for the work ahead.
