CLIENTS Are Achieving RECORD Setting Engagement Levels!

We will share our results with you ---though you might not believe them!

While most companies struggle with ENGAGEMENT, our clients are "CRUSHING IT". The Leadership Rigor Virtual Academy has provided our Client Partners a forum to enhance Cultural Cohesion and accelerate their Talent Bench development as they learn and discuss leadership skills, tools and models to apply in their day-to-day work!

We already have 3 Companies, 14 Teams and nearly 200 participants in the Academy.

In just the last 4 months here’s what they are achieving:

Video Content ENGAGEMENT----2 Companies 100% and 1 Company 98.5%

Team Meeting ENGAGEMENT---96% attendance in 75 Meetings!!

Social Platform ENGAGEMENT---Nearly 500 Quality Comments and Insights!

Team SPIRIT Challenge ENGAGEMENT----Take a Look at our Halloween Pictures

We are so Proud of our 28 Rigornauts and 21 Mentors who are facilitating meaningful conversations across their organizations that connect their unique company context to the Leadership Rigor content each month! You are AMAZING!

2024 Enterprise Enrollment in the Leadership Rigor Academy is now underway!

RE-IMAGINE vs. Simply Return to Office (RTO)

Leaders have a WONDERFUL opportunity to create a NEW WORKPLACE dynamic where Talent is engaged, collaborating, learning, and innovating together to create Future GROWTH!

Making it WONDERFUL requires including your Compassion + IMAGINATION!

Our Learning Videos below include practices to Turbo Charge your Engagement!

• Your Colleagues want to be SEEN (acknowledged + recognized)

• Your Colleagues want to be HEARD (invite all voices to weigh in)

• Your Colleagues want to be CONNECTED (create a community)

Burnout is more than a personal challenge for leaders - it is a CULTURAL PROBLEM!

Your Organization’s Culture is your SYSTEM-Based approach to “how you do things around here.” The problem in most organizations is that they lack the leadership skills, processes, language, and tools to get work done at the speed of business! So even high performers who jump through hoops—ultimately experience exhaustion!

Addressing the ROOT CAUSES of Burnout at the Cultural Level requires leadership skill building as well as putting in place Performance + Productivity structures! And this is a big part of our Leadership Learning Journey Work!

We focus on Organizational Health and WELL-BEING at an individual, team and enterprise level providing SOCIAL frameworks for accelerating your talent bench readiness to take RISKS, Make CHANGES and GROW forward with energy and momentum!

As your Change-Partner we can DESIGN a Leadership Learning Journey to take your workplace experience to another level!

Your Organizational Leaders are living in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world! This can be exhausting! We have a VUCA-SOLUTION we provide in our Leadership Journey work as we help you build Change-Ready leaders who are INSPIRATIONAL role models creating the conditions for your future success!

We go BEYOND Coaching and Consulting

Avoid Burnout

Well Being

It's a New Day

VUCA Solution

What Our Pilot Participants Shared with Us!

Testimonial

"There are many paths an organization can choose to take with a leadership development program. Where the Leadership Rigor Virtual Academy succeeds is by creating a clear pathway for shared language and understanding, the use of tools that provide frameworks to solve problems and create clarity & insights, and, most importantly, a visible individual accountability to the organization that is often the single biggest aspect missing from leadership development programs.

Organizations have personalities and what works for one organization may not work for other organizations. For the right organization with a growth mindset and a readiness and commitment to doing the work, the Leadership Rigor Virtual Academy can propel that organization forward and truly create a competitive advantage. And it does so brilliantly."

Ned Stern, Board Chair

Testimonial

"Becoming competent in the content, language and applications of Leadership Rigor is a rewarding experience, rich with opportunity to grow your coaching practice into the leadership and organizational arena.

The program is filled with clear, powerful models, tools and approaches to give coaches ways to transform how they serve organizations and their leaders in a world of uncertainty and change.

Becoming a Change Partner goes beyond coaching or consulting for a credential that qualifies you to help organizations increase their performance and productivity in a unique way."
