Coaching & Consulting

Develop high-performers into high-performing leaders.

Your best employees are often your best candidates for leadership.

But being great at the job doesn’t automatically mean someone is prepared to lead people.

Audible Coaching & Consulting bridges the gap.

We equip high-performing employees and emerging leaders with the skills, confidence, and accountability they need to lead effectively.

Great Performance Gets People Promoted.
Great Leadership Helps Them Succeed.

When a high performer moves into leadership, everything changes.
They’re no longer responsible only for their own results. Now they’re responsible for helping other people succeed.

That requires a new skill set:
Audible Coaching and Consulting helps leaders make that transition successfully.

Turning High-Performing Employees Into High-Performing Leaders

12-MONTH LEADERSHIP ACCELERATOR PROGRAM

Most organizations don’t have a shortage of talented people.

They have a shortage of prepared leaders.

The people who know the work best are often promoted into leadership because they’ve proven they can perform. But leading people requires a different set of skills.

The Audible Leadership Development System helps companies bridge that gap.

It’s a practical leadership-development system designed to move high-performing employees from individual performance to leadership performance, and ultimately develop leaders who can build stronger teams and help the business grow.

The System

The system follows the leadership journey from identifying the right people to creating measurable organizational impact.

Find the People Worth Developing
Not every high performer is ready to lead.

Before investing in development, organizations need to identify the employees who have the potential, desire, character, and capacity to become effective leaders.

We look at:

  • Performance
  • Leadership potential
  • Self-awareness
  • Communication
  • Accountability
  • Initiative
  • Influence
  • Emotional intelligence
  • Desire to lead
  • Readiness for greater responsibility

 

The objective:

Identify the people who are worth investing in, and understand where they need to grow.

 

Business Impact:

A more intentional leadership pipeline.

Instead of promoting people simply because they’re good at their jobs, the organization begins making leadership decisions based on readiness and potential.

Create the Leadership Mindset

High performers have to understand that leadership is a different job.

Nate’s speaking and keynotes create the mindset shift required to make that transition.

The message is simple:

What made you successful as an employee isn’t necessarily what will make you successful as a leader.

 

Leaders learn to think differently about:

  • Ownership
  • Accountability
  • Communication
  • Trust
  • Team performance
  • Decision-making
  • Their influence on others

 

The objective:

Create a shared understanding of what leadership means in your organization.

 

Business Impact:

Your leaders begin speaking the same language and understanding that their responsibility has changed from doing the work to leading the people who do the work.

Build the Skills Leaders Need

Awareness isn’t enough.

Leaders need practical skills they can use on the floor, in the shop, in the field, and in the office.

Nate’s workshops and leadership-development experiences focus on the competencies that have the greatest impact on day-to-day leadership.

Core Leadership Competencies:

LEAD SELF

  • Self-awareness
  • Personal accountability
  • Confidence
  • Adaptability
  • Emotional intelligence

 

LEAD OTHERS

  • Communication
  • Trust
  • Coaching
  • Delegation
  • Feedback
  • Accountability
  • Conflict management

 

LEAD THE BUSINESS

  • Decision-making
  • Problem-solving
  • Ownership
  • Strategic thinking
  • Leading through change
  • Developing other leaders

 

The objective:

Give leaders a practical leadership toolkit they can immediately apply.

 

Business Impact:

Leaders become more capable of handling the conversations, decisions, conflicts, and people challenges that come with leadership.

Turn Leadership Skills Into Leadership Habits

A workshop can teach a skill.

It can’t guarantee that someone will use it six months later.

That’s why coaching is a critical part of the system.

Nate works individually with leaders to apply what they’re learning to real situations happening inside the business.

Coaching helps leaders:

  • Identify blind spots
  • Work through difficult situations
  • Strengthen communication
  • Improve accountability
  • Build confidence
  • Navigate conflict
  • Develop their own employees
  • Create measurable leadership goals
  • Stay accountable for changing their behavior

 

The objective:

Move leadership development from something leaders attend to something leaders practice.

 

Business Impact:

New leadership behaviors become habits.

And those habits begin influencing teams, culture, performance, and retention.

Connect Leadership Development to Business Results

Leadership development should ultimately improve the business.

The final stage of the Audible Leadership Development System is measuring whether leadership development is creating the desired organizational impact.

Depending on the organization, we may track:

PEOPLE

  • Employee retention
  • Internal promotions
  • Leadership readiness
  • Employee engagement
  • Leadership bench strength

  • Leadership effectiveness
  • Accountability
  • Communication
  • Manager confidence
  • Leadership competency development

  • Safety
  • Quality
  • Turnover
  • Absenteeism
  • Execution

 

BUSINESS

  • Team performance
  • Customer experience
  • Growth capacity

  • Improved operational results

 

The objective:

Connect better leadership to measurable business outcomes.

The Audible Leadership Development Journey

The Audible Leadership Development System creates a clear and efficient progression for you to consistently have a healthy leadership pipeline:

HIGH-PERFORMING EMPLOYEE
"I know how to do the job."
EMERGING LEADER
"I'm learning how to lead myself and others."
HIGH-PERFORMING LEADER
"I can consistently lead people and produce results through others."
LEADER OF LEADERS
"I develop leaders who can develop others."

The Goal

The goal isn’t to create more managers.

It’s to create more leaders.

Leaders who can:
Lead themselves.
Lead their people.
Lead through change.
Lead for results.
And develop the next generation of leaders.

Because your company’s next great leaders are probably already on your team.

What is the Audible Impact?

As a leader, HOW we show up and deliver on our promises speaks volumes. Customize a game plan to help you emerge as the quarterback of your own personal and professional journey along with that of your team.

The most dynamic leaders and teams have a heightened level of awareness of the challenges they need to overcome. Clearly define the gap between where you are and where you are fully capable of being, uncover why it still exists, then develop a winning strategy to defeat it.

In sports, and in business, the greatest ability is often availability. Gain clarity around how your unique skill and passion align with the mission of your organization, then consistently bring your "A" game into the workplace!

"Balance" can often give off the illusion that everything in our work and personal lives is capable of getting equal amounts of attention. Rhythm makes room for us to make necessary sacrifices depending on the season of life we are currently in. Identify ways to strategically make plays that help you inch towards your goals.

Ironically enough, LEADERSHIP roles are often filled based primarily on PERFORMANCE. This approach frequently places top performers in leadership roles they haven't been equipped to succeed in. Create a unique game plan that stretches you beyond your comfort zone and into your full potential as a leader.

A space for leaders to show up as their most authentic selves. Be heard, encouraged, and challenged to practice exemplary leadership in your personal AND professional life.
