”Because  of  the  Executive  Roundtable  I  bring  my  best,  authentic  self  to  provide  leadership  for  the  organization  in  a  way  that  encourages  and  empowers  the  people  around  me  while  accomplishing  business  goals.  I’ve  learned  to  trust  myself  more;  knowing  and  owning  the  strength  of  the  contributions  I  bring,  which  results  in  a  better  outcome  for  the  company,  increased  utilization  of  my  abilities,  added  confidence  and  strength,  and  in  knowing  I’m  making  a  difference.    I  have  become  much  better  at  creating  boundaries  so  that  my  work  is  better  aligned  with  my  strengths  and  interests,  goals  and  values.”-­‐  VP  Marketing,  Medical  Device  Company    

 

“The  surprise  was  that  I  thought  I  already  had  everything  down  regarding  my  leadership  skills  and  style,  but  I  have  never  worked  harder  or  thought  more  seriously  about  how  I  lead  and  who  I  am  when  I  am  with  other  people  than  I  did  during  the  leadership  roundtable  and  since  then.”  -­‐  VP  Marketing,  Financial  Services    

 

”The  leadership  roundtable  became  my  anchor  in  the  storms.  For  so  long  I  felt  like  an  imposter  in  my  roles,  and  I  now  know  what  an  effective,  innovative,  and  inspiring  executive  I  have  become.  This  program  gave  me  courage,  strength,  and  the  platform  from  which  I  take  greater  risks,  step  forward,  and  am  leading  on  a  new  level.”    -­‐  CEO    

Comments  from  current    

and  past  roundtable  participants:  

”The  executive  leadership  roundtable  experience  enabled  me  to  meet,  learn  from,  and  be  supported  through  challenges  and  opportunities  by  7  other  amazing  leaders,  whom  I  otherwise  would  never  have  met.  One  of  the  most  important  lessons  I  learned  is  that  we  are  not  alone.  It  is  very  easy  to  feel  like  we  are  on  an  island  and  have  to  find  our  own  way  by  ourselves.    This  experience  has  provided  me  with  the  substance  needed  to  be  even  more  successful.”      -­‐  Manufacturing  Business  Unit  General  Manager

Why  Executive  Coaching+  Coached  Leadership  Roundtables?  

“With  today’s  fast-­‐changing  technology,  increasingly  global,  multicultural,  and  team-­‐based  work  environments,  no  one  mentor  can  possibly  provide  the  guidance,  exposure,  and  opportunities  that  are  so  essential  to  effectively   managing   current   job   challenges   or   preparing   for   future   leadership   roles.”   –   MIT   Sloan  Management  Review  

 

"More   than   50%   of   Fortune   500   companies   use   executive   coaches   and   six   out   of   ten   companies   offer  coaching  to  mid  and  senior  level  managers.  ROI  from  the  study  is  529%."  -­‐  The  Hay  Group  

 Coached   Leadership   Roundtables   typically   meet  for   6-­‐8   sessions   complemented   by   individual  coaching   between   each   session.   We   have   had  great  success  with  virtual  circles  when  participants  meet  in  person  for  a  full  day  and  again  the  end  of  the   program.       Each   month   new   insights   are  embedded  in  action,  culminating  in  final  individual  ROI  impact  presentations.  

Relationships   are   created   that   continue   to  enhance  growth  through  mentoring  and  feedback.  Sustained  authentic   engagement   grows  as  people  share  experiences,  meet  commitments,  build  trust  and   support   each   other   to   do   their   best   work.  Collaboration  grows  into  value  creation.
