Outward Leadership


The Outward Mindset Skills for Leaders (OMSL) workshop has been updated and renamed!
This course is now Outward Leadership. If you have completed OMSL, please contact us for information about updating your certification.

Content and Tools

This one-day program is designed to significantly advance leaders’ abilities to implement outward mindset ways of working within their teams and organizations.

It equips leaders with a suite of 38 practical tools to ensure they and their employees are working with an outward mindset. Participants are equipped to use all 38 tools and leave the workshop with a specific plan for implementing the tools to address their pressing organizational issues.

So that leaders can quickly reference and apply the tools, they are grouped into four categories and listed in a Workplace Situations Index containing 30 common situations faced by leaders and their teams.
