Effectively Communicate … With Anyone and Everyone
-Are you doing well in your career but know that you have another level in you?
-Is much of your time spent solving other people’s problems?
-Do you take on extra tasks because no one else can do them as well as you?
-Is getting your point across to certain co-workers a challenge?
-Do you put off having difficult conversations because they are so stressful?
-Are your ideas not embraced because people don’t truly understand them?
Welcome to Leadership … A Whole New Skillset
Your career success speaks volumes about your abilities, but stepping into leadership requires a fundamental mindset shift that catches many high performers off guard.
The Core Challenge
As an individual contributor, you succeeded through personal expertise and direct execution. Leadership flips this entirely–your results now come through others. You’ll need to master delegation, strategic thinking, and developing people rather than completing tasks yourself.
Now, the focus needs to be on coaching your team rather than doing the job you spent years getting good at. Leadership doesn’t necessarily come naturally, but just like you learned how to succeed in your previous position, you can learn to excel in your new role.
Thankfully, you can accelerate your learning curve!
Don’t go it alone
You’ve already proven you can master new challenges. With patience and the right development approach, leadership will become your next area of excellence.
Being in engineering, finance or any of the STEM fields is challenging. To be successful you had to focus on specialized skills and knowledge. Now that you are managing and leading, you have to have very different kinds of conversations. Many of the people you will interact with now do not process information and communicate their ideas the same way you do.
At NeuroConversant Leadership, we specialize in making this transition. It is our focus because we have struggled through the same challenges. It took years of trial and error to figure it out. Now that we have, we like to share what we learned and accelerate your learning curve. We have helped thousands of engineers transition into leadership roles and have created a signature training just for people just like you.
Whether you are an engineer, entrepreneur, or financial professional, you can stop struggling and be the impactful leader you were meant to be!
Why NeuroConversant®
As a leader, you interact with a very diverse array of people. This diversity makes communication a challenge. Because that is so important in leadership, I combined two words and coined the term NeuroConversant.
NeuroDiversity – The range of differences in individual brain function and behavioral traits as part of normal variation in the human population
Conversant – Familiar with or knowledgeable about something
NeuroConversant – Understanding of the range of differences in brain function and behavioral traits of the human population
Engineers
You have spent somewhere between 10,000 and 30,000 hours of learning and on the job training to become an excellent engineer. Now you got promoted to a management or customer facing role, and all of the rules have changed. I understand. Having received my degree in Mechanical Engineering and then needing to interact with sales, marketing, clients and executives, I have lived your struggle! As a result, I developed a signature program specifically designed to help technical people like you succeed in your new role.
Individual Coaching for Engineers
Start-Ups
You built the thing. Now you have to lead the people building it with you.
The instincts that got you here, moving fast, doing it yourself, knowing every detail, are exactly what got you funded. But as your company grows past those first hires, those same instincts start working against you. The shift from doing the work to leading the people doing the work is where technical founders most often stumble, not because the product fails, but because the skills that built the company aren’t the skills that scale it.
That’s the transition I help founders navigate, from your first non-founder hires through building out a real leadership team.
Individual Coaching for Founders
Financial Professionals
Are some clients easy to deal with and some a constant challenge? Do you form a connection with some but not others? Do you dread asking them personal questions or discussing fees?
In addition to my training as an engineer and leadership coach, I spent 13 years as a financial advisor. I experienced first hand the challenges of explaining complex solutions, making people feel comfortable, and discussing sensitive topics. Developing a team and focusing on your strengths will allow you to deliver the best possible solutions to clients…and make them rave about you to others.
