The number one reason most people leave a company is their immediate boss! Because of that stat, leadership development within an organizational environment has never been more critical.  However, studies show that most leadership trainings just don't "stick." The UnCommon Leadership® model will provide a continuum for focus and development for leaders that, combined with leading edge assessment tools and executive coaching, can facilitate a sustainable leadership program. Ed Chaffin, PCC will take you through an interactive workshop designed to show why so many leaders fail and what to do to fix the problem! 
Program Objectives
  • A simple, yet powerful exercise to showcase and teach what leadership attributes followers desire in their leaders
  • Learn the #1 failure most leaders make
  • Learn the #1 mistake most leaders make
  • And, learn the solution to the failure and mistake most leaders make!

Ed Chaffin, Founder and CEO                                                                            The UnCommon Leadership®Institute, LLC

Ed Chaffin, PCC is a writer, speaker, former executive and now an entrepreneur dedicating his life to creating the next generation of “uncommon leaders.” He is launching The UnCommon Leadership Institute in 2013 designed to provide a global, value-added, content driven web experience for anyone wanting to expand their leadership capabilities. Ed’s personal mission can be summed up this way: “Changing the world one person at a time.”

Ed has had a successful corporate career in many different areas. He was a number one salesman for two consecutive years and was part of an executive team that helped build an HR services company from $5 million in revenue to over $300 million. He was President of the firm’s largest division and because of an aggressive acquisition strategy, led the integration of seven disparate cultures by using the mantra of leadership starting with a servant’s heart.

As a certified Birkman Method® consultant, he believes any organizational success starts with its leader(s) becoming truly self-aware. This is the foundation for personalized leadership! The Birkman is one of the best motivational, relational assessment tools on the market and the best method to become more self-aware, and invest in yourself and your people. He is also certified in another powerful tool, Dr. Laura Belsten’s social and emotional intelligence assessment called the S+EIP. The S+EIP is both a self-assessment and a 360 review of social and emotional competencies in 26 distinct areas.  In addition, he has completed the Core Essentials Program and the Advanced Corporate Coach Training at Coach University. He is a Corporate Coach University Certified Graduate (CCUCG). From those certifications, the International Coach Federation granted him the designation of Professional Certified Coach (PCC).

In 2010, Ed began an affiliation with Dr. George Kohlrieser, the professor of leadership at the International Institute for Management and Development (IMD) located in Lausanne, Switzerland. Dr. Kohlrieser leads one of the most successful executive development programs at IMD called High Performance Leadership (HPL). Ed attended the HPL program in May of 2010 as an executive and was invited to become a coach in the program. He is now a coach in the HPL program that is delivered in Lausanne, Hong Kong, and Sao Paolo and this year for the first time, the US. HPL is based on Dr. Kohlrieser’s highly successful book Hostage At The Table; How Leaders Can Overcome Conflict, Influence Others, and Raise Performance. In addition to coaching in the HPL program, Ed has incorporated many of the philosophies and ideas into his own executive and business coaching practice.

Ed is on the Board of a Silicon Valley startup called EmpInfo. As well, he is the acting Chief Sales and Marketing Officer as the company is in its 1st round of funding.

He is also on Board of a non-profit organization The Baton Rouge Children’s Advocacy Center. BRCAC serves children who are victims of both physical and sexual abuse in the surrounding parishes of Baton Rouge.

Ed is a native of Georgia, but grew up in Charleston, SC, where he studied business administration at the College of Charleston. He has also attended and completed an Executive Development program at the Wharton School of Business.

He is married to Eva, who was born and raised in Baton Rouge, and they have a 29 year old daughter Erica, who resides in Indianapolis. Eva is an LPGA Teaching Professional who has a passion for teaching women and children the game of golf. Ed also has a daughter and son.
