All About Them Leadership Lab: Turning Insight Into Action
This interactive four-part workshop series takes transportation leaders deeper into the All
About Them framework and shows them how to apply it to the real challenges they face
every day. Each session focuses on a specific skill that strengthens communication,
alignment, and leadership impact. Participants walk away with practical tools they can use
immediately to improve team performance and create stronger connections across their
organizations.
1. Session One: Seeing Through Their Eyes
Outcome: Leaders learn how to understand what their people, communities, and
stakeholders truly value. They discover how shifting perspective clarifies decisions,
reduces conflict, and opens the door to more ejective conversations.
2. Session Two: Communicating With Clarity and Purpose
Outcome: Participants learn how to craft messages that land. They practice turning
complex information into simple, meaningful communication that team members
can grasp, trust, and act on.
3. Session Three: Building Trust Through Connection
Outcome: Leaders develop the tools to create environments where people feel
seen, supported, and engaged. They learn how to strengthen relationships, improve
collaboration, and increase team accountability.
4. Session Four: Leading Change the All About Them Way
Outcome: Participants learn how to guide teams through uncertainty. They practice
applying the All About Them mindset to problem-solving, motivation, and decisionmaking so change becomes easier, faster, and more successful
