Learner value and investments are often misaligned

Much of the value of learning comes from pre-work and follow-up, but most organizations invest disproportionately in the event itself.

Continuous Leadership Journey

A 12 month guided solution delivers a high impact and time efficient learning process

into the workflow of any busy manager.


What Leaders Are Saying…Turning Leaders into Teachers – Scalable Impact Each month I try and watch/read all the info as soon as possible. I then try to reference it during

my visits with GMs either as a tool for them or if they have used something with their team.

A Tool for One-on-One Coaching I have been working with one of my managers… who was struggling with how to lead their

team. I asked the manager to read through the abbreviated books and report back to me on what

they learned … to help lead their team. The results have been visible with the manager involved

as well as the team they lead.

The Importance of Continuous Learning I open up the video offerings and again realize that the short videos are

quick lessons that provide long lasting returns on a brief investment of

time. I’ve learned that you can’t just listen to one or two lessons and

expect them to change who you are, you have to continue to get through

the full library of short lessons and allow them to be the building blocks of

a solid foundation for growth.
