The Problem This Solves

Most Organizations Do Not Have a Talent Problem. They Have a Leadership Alignment Problem.

When leaders default to blame instead of solutions, it creates a culture where people protect themselves instead of executing. As a result, accountability becomes a word in the mission statement instead of a daily operating standard, teams slow down, decisions stall, and performance becomes inconsistent.

This is exactly the gap that corporate leadership training is meant to close. The Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop is grounded in the principles of Rick's best-selling book and built for organizations that are ready to change that. Rather than a seminar, it is a leadership transformation experience that produces leaders who own outcomes, build solutions-focused teams, and execute with clarity regardless of what the environment throws at them.

Program Overview

Two Days. One Leadership Training Workshop.

Day One

Building the Solutions Oriented Mindset

  • The core principles of solutions oriented leadership and why blame culture is a performance killer
  • Leadership styles for the modern workplace and how to adapt your approach to different team dynamics
  • Cultivating emotional intelligence to navigate difficult conversations and build genuine trust
  • Aligning vision with action by translating organizational objectives into clear, executable strategies your team can own

Day Two

Applying Solutions Oriented Strategies

  • Leading through change and uncertainty by embracing volatility as an opportunity to differentiate your leadership
  • Communication and influence frameworks that build trust and drive alignment across teams and departments
  • Developing high performance teams through accountability, individual strengths, and shared standards
  • Building the habits and systems that sustain solutions oriented leadership long after the workshop ends
What Participants Gain

The Measurable Results Organizations Book This Workshop For

A Solutions First Decision Framework

Leaders leave with a replicable process for moving from problem identification to solution execution. Because it is built for pressure, the framework works at every level of complexity.

Accountability That Sticks

Rather than hoping people follow through, this replaces that hope with structures that make accountability the default. As a result, teams deliver because the system supports it.

Communication That Builds Trust

Leaders develop the language and habits that create psychological safety. Consequently, defensive behavior drops and teams surface problems early enough to solve them.

Change Confidence

Participants leave equipped to lead through organizational change, market volatility, and operational disruption without losing team alignment or execution momentum.

Team Culture Ownership

Because culture is not built by HR, it is built by the behavior modeled every day in every team interaction. Leaders leave with a concrete plan to change it.

Sustainable Leadership Habits

The workshop builds in accountability checkpoints and follow up structures, so the behavior change that starts on day two does not evaporate by the following Monday.

The Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop is a two day leadership training workshop built on the principles of Dr. Rick Goodman's best-selling book. It replaces blame culture with accountability and gives leaders a decision-making framework that holds up under real pressure, not just in the training room.

A keynote is a high-energy presentation, typically 45 to 90 minutes, that plants the seed of a new mindset. Because the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop runs across two full days, it goes deeper: interactive exercises, role plays, and group discussion produce measurable behavior change rather than a single moment of inspiration.

The workshop is built for every leadership level, from first-time managers to senior executives. Since the frameworks scale and the content is customized to the audience, mid-level managers, HR and people leaders, and C-suite executives all get material relevant to their specific challenges.

Yes. The workshop is delivered in person, fully virtual, or as a hybrid engagement, so distributed leadership teams get the same two-day framework and outcomes regardless of location.

Organizations get a documented solutions-first decision framework, accountability structures that hold after the training ends, communication habits that build psychological safety, and a concrete plan for changing team culture, since culture is built by daily behavior, not a mission statement.

Every engagement begins with a discovery conversation. Because Dr. Rick Goodman builds the examples, language, and frameworks around each organization's specific challenges and culture, no two workshops are delivered identically.

The workshop builds in accountability checkpoints and follow-up structures so behavior change does not fade after the first Monday back. Many organizations report measurable shifts in communication and decision-making within the first quarter following the engagement.

Yes. Because the frameworks are designed to complement Dr. Rick Goodman's other corporate training programs, many organizations pair the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop with a session such as Dealing with Difficult People or Communication Mastery to build a full-day or multi-day leadership event.

Corporate leadership training is a structured program that builds decision-making, communication, and accountability skills in an organization's managers and executives. Unlike a single lecture, it uses interactive exercises and follow-up structures so the skills carry into daily work, not just the training room.

Cost depends on group size, duration, and customization scope, since every Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop is built around a discovery conversation rather than a fixed package. Most organizations find that a single well-executed engagement pays for itself through reduced turnover and faster decision-making.

Leadership training is most effective when it includes practical exercises, accountability follow-up, and content customized to the organization, rather than a generic lecture. Because the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop builds in checkpoints after the session, clients report measurable behavior change months later, not just immediate enthusiasm.

Leadership development is important because unresolved leadership gaps show up as inconsistent decisions, stalled accountability, and cultures where people protect themselves instead of executing. Since these problems compound over time, addressing them directly prevents far more expensive turnover and performance issues later.

Both. The Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop works as leadership training for managers and supervisors as much as it does for senior executives, since the frameworks scale to the audience. Frontline supervisors get practical accountability tools, while executives get the strategic decision-making framework, all from the same two-day program.

It works when it includes practical exercises, follow-up accountability, and content built around real challenges rather than generic theory. Because the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop is structured this way, clients report measurable shifts in communication and decision-making months after the session, not just a temporary boost in morale.

Yes. Leadership is not a fixed trait some people have and others do not. It is a set of skills, decision-making, accountability, and communication, that develops through deliberate practice and honest feedback, which is exactly what a structured workshop provides instead of leaving development to chance.

Leadership skills are important because they determine whether a team executes consistently or drifts into confusion and blame. Since weak leadership skills compound into missed deadlines, turnover, and stalled decisions, investing in a workshop that builds them directly protects performance across the entire organization, not just at the top.
