Still have a few questions? Read below.
Who else will be in Lead Ignited?
The diversity of the group is one of the most interesting parts. You’ll meet both senior and mid-level managers from a variety of industries including manufacturing, healthcare, technology, human services, insurance, and education. Most importantly, the class size is small. So, you’ll get a lot of individual attention.
How do I know Lead Ignited will address my issues?
Our goal is to achieve your goals. So, we begin by meeting with you and your supervisor to understand your objectives. Then, on the first day, we’ll work with the group to develop an agenda that addresses everyone’s top priorities. We’ll use your one-on-one coaching sessions to address your unique needs and to make sure you’re applying your new skills.
How are the classes structured?
Every other Thursday from 8:30 - 10:30 Eastern Time, we hold a virtual session for a total of four months. In advance of each session, you'll complete about 30 minutes of prework. Throughout our time together, you’ll participate in various assessments, case studies, problem solving challenges, creative thinking, book reviews, and a lot of group discussion to share ideas and feedback. Even though you’ll be busy, our approach is very informal and engaging. It’s a great way to invest in yourself and re-energize for the future!
What is the cost?
At Work Ignited, we recognize that the fee for our services is your investment in anticipation of higher levels of performance and ultimately, greater financial return. So we strive to offer our high quality service at a fair value. The fee for participation is just $1297.
What if I miss a session?
Most likely, you won't want to. Previous participants have told us that this is the best part of their week. But, we understand that you might have to miss a session, especially if you're on vacation. All sessions are recorded and housed on our private course site. You can watch (or re-watch) them any time.
Can we bring Lead Ignited in house?
We're happy to facilitate Lead Ignited for a team of your high-potential leaders. We'll build a customized program to meet your unique needs. We'll even help design mentoring programs and follow-up action learning programs to keep the learning going.
The best time to ignite your leadership skills is today.
I know you're busy and perhaps feeling overwhelmed or worried about taking something like this on.
There's no doubt the world is quickly changing - hybrid workforces and today's economy are creating a lot of uncertainty and challenges. I hear you, friend, and I'm here for you.
I truly believe that there's never been a better (or more important) time to double down on building your leadership skills. Today's workforce is looking for a sense of purpose, social connections, and to feel valued for the difference they make. That takes a new set of skills that you might not have needed in the past. Not only will Lead Ignited give you those skills, it will give you the discipline to put them in place as small, daily habits. So, they are easy!
I don't want you to look back in 6 or even 12 months with those same problems sitting on your desk, wondering what could have been if you only took action.
I want you to feel proud of what you accomplished and confident in what you can achieve. Plus, I want you to have a whole bunch of new friends that share your passion for leadership and will cheer you on!

The Biggest Objections of B2B Decision Makers
Top sales people understand the most common objections they’ll hear from customers. They prepare for them, so they are ready to overcome them. So, today, let's talk about typical reasons B2B purchasers say, "no" to your training courses, coaching programs, and consulting services. This way, you'll be prepared for these objections so you can overcome them.
Often, we hear two objections coming right out of the gate. The decision maker will either say that they don’t have time for this right now or they don’t have the money for this right now. Listen, these days, it seems like people don’t have time for anything. And, money, that’s just a convenient excuse. Businesses spend a lot of time and money on things that are less important than what you have to offer.
Time and money objections are usually just masks for two bigger objections on the minds of decision makers. In fact, decision makers often miraculously find time and money for your solutions, if they overcome these two bigger objections.
Bigger Objection #1: Will I Get Results?
Every business decision maker has problems. Those problems could be things like poor teamwork, a lack of accountability, rising healthcare costs, high employee turnover, lack of sales, no succession candidates, and more.
Will your coaching or training program solve their program and get fast results? Will it make a difference? If the answer is yes, they will find the time and money to invest, particularly if they've been struggling for a long time.
Bigger Objection #2: Will I Look Good?
Decision makers can be concerned about how program will be received by the participants. No one wants to be the bearer of bad news. No one wants to implement something that will make life more difficult or stressful for the team.
Many times, I was hired by business unit managers who didn't always have the best relationship with their Human Resources team. My goal has always been to serve everyone and make everyone look good. I would never want the HR folks to feel inferior or left out. And, I would want the business unit manager to know I had their best interests at heart.
How can you show your purchasers that you aim to meet everyone's objectives and priorities? How will your solution make life easier for their teams or help them to learn and grow? How can you make the decision makers the heroes for bringing you in to save the day?
Time and money might be convenient excuses, but they often aren't the real objections. Be ready to show how your solution solves the decision maker's problem and how you'll make them look good, and they'll find the time and money to hire you in a heartbeat.
