About

We build 5 key outcomes into every transformational leadership program

We’re different. Our transformational leadership trainings are carefully designed to produce 5 key wins simultaneously: (1) Individual Transformation (2) Skill Building (3) Team Building (4) Power for Everyone and (5) Vibrant Workplace Cultures.

With us, there’s no need to choose between skill-building, team building or exciting transformational leadership events. Our events are polished, transformational, skill-building and profoundly team building. And, these set the foundation for a top-performance workplace culture that attracts, retains and motivates todays top talent.

Win-Win-Win-Win-Win: Each winning outcome is baked into every Cream of the Crop Leaders’ transformational leadership program. We stand behind it. We’ve been designing and facilitating transformational leadership trainings for over 25 years (some under a former company name).

Learn about each.

SKILL BUILDING

After creating and facilitating top-rated transformational leadership curriculum for over 25 years, we hand-selected only 6 of our most essential skill-building programs. These are the leadership trainings that everyone thanks us for, from C-Suite to Aspiring leaders.

Participants apply our training tools to REAL workplace scenarios, then reinforce their learning through immediate post-training application. This is true skill-building.

TRANSFORMATIONAL

Transformational learning is inside-out learning. Our learning credo is Learn by Doing™. We all learn best through active application and practice, not passive listening.

Our events are 80-90% interactive, feedback-rich, and each participant leaves with personal feedback. These create uber engagement. Transformational, yet relevant to everyday life.

TEAM BUILDING

We believe so strongly in the power of human connection that we’ve intentionally build team building into every single skill building program we create. Here’s why: Connection creates engagement. In turn, engagement deepens learning. Even more, connection and belonging are the fuel for top performance and employee retention.

POWER FOR EVERYONE

It’s obvious that all people are equal. After all, we all originate from the same source. We believe in the equality of all races, genders, religions, nationalities, sexual orientations (all categories) – and the empowerment of all people. Power for Everyone™ is a key value and guiding principle. Even more, employee empowerment is good for business.  The word power comes from the Latin posse, which means ‘to be able’. Learn more about what our founder, Sioux Messinger, says about power.

WORKPLACE CULTURE

Workplace culture initiatives are often misunderstood as ‘soft’, as goodies to pass out. Therefore, many companies pay only perfunctory attention to workplace culture (through free food, cool art, inclusive sounding language); these aren’t enough. Since a truly healthy workplace culture solves so many serious problems faced by organizations, our transformational leadership trainings intentionally set the foundation for your healthy workplace culture.

WE BUILD VIBRANT WORKPLACE CULTURES

To attract, retain and motivate top talent

Transformational workplace cultures are rare, intentional – and hugely beneficial. The data is clear: Today’s top talent prioritizes workplace culture. Therefore, organizations that invest in workplace culture as ESSENTIAL will attract, retain + MOTIVATE top talent – while improving employees’ lives.

It’s the ultimate win-win. Top Cultures: Innovative. Bold. Top Performing. CONNECTED.

OUR TRANSFORMATIONAL METHODS + CONTENT BUILD:

CONNECTION & BELONGING

We all long to belong, to sense that our contributions matter. It’s no different in the workplace. Therefore, belonging + connection are KEY to retaining talent and reaping top performance.

GROWTH MINDSET & HEALTHY RISK-TAKING

Growth mindsets are the fuel for top performance. In transformational workplaces, employees speak up, lean in, stretch past self-imposed limitations – and aim BIG.

EMPOWERMENT + TOP PERFORMANCE

Top-performance results from genuine empowerment. After all, when do YOU perform best: When your power is encouraged, or when you’re expected to take direction and play small?
