Leadership Workshops
7 Powerful Choices
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." – Abraham Lincoln.
Leadership is all about choice, and the choices leaders make are powerful, impacting the lives of many people and often the futures of their organizations. During this half-day highly interactive workshop we unpack the seven most powerful choices a leader makes and participants are given several break-outs to consider the power of their choices and examples of leaders who have made the right and wrong choices.
Workshop overview, the seven choices:
- Team or self: the leader's focus
- Close or distant: the way we approach relationships
- Build up or tear down: the way we choose words
- Confront or avoid: the leader's interventions
- Control or set free: the leader's grip
- Accept or resist: the willingness to follow well
- Sincerity or hypocrisy: the leader's example
This is one workshop that often has a powerful and lasting effect on participants. Don't miss this opportunity to understand the choices leaders make and often don't think much about. This topic is also presented as a keynote address, ideal for retreats, large group meetings or conventions.

"In 2007 following the acquisition of the Osprey Newspaper organization, Sun Media's newly formed Senior Leadership team saw a significant need for Leadership Development. As we began to look for a business partner it quickly became apparent that Dan Gaynor was the logical choice. Dan's ability to communicate in a clear and concise manner creates an environment of open and frank dialogue which is critical to the learning experience. Dan draws on his own personal experience from a wide variety of Senior Management roles to present content in a practical and non-theoretical manner. Over 400 leaders attended Dan's sessions. The feedback and comments from the participants has been nothing short of extraordinary. To a person they have commented that they enjoyed the sessions and were able to take what they learned and apply it quickly and effectively."
