Stewart Leadership
For over four decades, Stewart Leadership has been equipping leaders with the tools to reach their full potential. Their tried-and-true approach provides leaders with practical tools and reliable strategies that enable them to achieve maximum results. Rooted in sectors like aerospace engineering, government contracting, and advanced manufacturing they have developed practical, down-to-earth approaches that are perfectly aligned to meet the needs of ASMC membership.

LEAD Like Never Before
As business leaders, we are tasked with an important mission: deliver results no matter the circumstances. But success isn't just about executing tasks - it's also about implementing a culture of high-performance within our teams and developing relationships that enable achievement across the organization.

Drawing on over 45 years of experience in the government contracting space and developed to meet the needs of busy leaders, Lead Like Never before introduces a practical, pragmatic approach to leadership development designed to harness the cumulative impact of small actions.

In this half-day, highly participative workshop, you will be introduced to a fresh way of thinking about the role of a complete leader. You’ll discover a framework for navigating the complex professional relationships leaders must effectively manage to deliver mission-critical business and people results and build an awareness of key leadership behaviors you must cultivate to reach your next level.

Along the way, you’ll take part in hands-on activities that immerse you in the learning process along with peer learning opportunities that will develop your ability to apply key principles and share best practices.

By the end of the workshop, you will have a completed individual action plan with specific, personalized steps you can take to continue your leadership journey and leave the course with several resources to guide your continued development including LEAD NOW! A Personal Leadership Coaching Guide for Results-Driven Leaders, LEAD NOW Coaching Cards, and an Individual Action Planning Workbook.

DRIVE CHANGE Like Never Before
Drive Change Like Never Before is the perfect workshop for leaders who want to be better prepared for uncertain and complex challenges. Organizations know that the leaders of tomorrow are those who can disrupt their own leadership approach as they stretch and apply new ways of thinking, inspiring, and leading.

This highly participative workshop will transform the way you lead change. You'll learn practical tools that will enable you to immediately improve adoption, productivity, and engagement during times of change.

Drawing on years of consulting experience with thousands of leaders just like you and relying on research-based insights, this workshop will provide you with an understanding of key change concepts and principles in the context of a modern workplace. You’ll identify the primary drivers and derailers of change and how to create a foundation for sustainable change that reduces resistance.

During our time together, you’ll experience multiple break-out sessions where you will learn from fellow ASMC members as you work together to apply the tools and insights from the session. By the end of the workshop, you will leave with a change toolkit and a partially completed set of change tools that will move your specific change effort forward.

Don't be caught off guard when faced with unpredictable changes - attend this workshop and equip yourself with the skills needed to thrive during chaotic times. You'll leave feeling confident in your ability to lead your team through whatever comes their way.

PERFORM Like Never Before
Does this sound like you? You're working hard, but you feel like you are always behind, and you don’t have enough time. You find yourself thinking about work all the time, including evenings and weekends. No matter how many hours you put in to keep up, it feels like you will never catch up - much less get ahead!

If so, you’re far from alone. Our work lives have become increasingly demanding, presenting ever more complex challenges at a near relentless pace. And as you have unfortunately discovered, working harder, and putting in those extra hours can’t resolve the challenge.

Instead of making yourself insane by doing the same thing over and over again until you wear out, join ASMC and Stewart Leadership and learn a new approach to managing your performance that will maximize your results without the threat of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion.

This is an opportunity to change the way you work for the better. You’ll participate in engaging activities and peer learning opportunities that will show you how to manage your workload, reduce feelings of frustration, and achieve new levels of personal performance. You’ll leave with proven tools for managing your calendar, email, and meetings along with strategies you can implement to become more effective all while balancing the demands of your personal and professional life.
