LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

LEADERS CREATE THE CONDITIONS FOR EVERYONE ELSE’S SUCCESS — OR FAILURE

Developing your leaders is critical. Path Forward’s programs grow leaders sustainably, so they can best help your organization thrive.  We employ a coaching (rather than teaching) approach, in which participants…

  • consistently apply the concepts learned to current work challenges

  • flesh out the learning through iterative cycles of reflection and practice

  • sustain their professional development with the support — and challenge – of a trusted cohort that shares challenges, successes, and best practices

OUR APPROACH IS HONEST, TIME-TESTED, AND UNIQUELY EFFECTIVE

We don’t “train” leaders, we offer them a compelling vision of great leadership, then we coach in small, intact groups over time, to apply the learning to real work challenges to show up in more effective ways—for good.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP

In this foundational 15-month program, leaders at any level of the organization:

  • Meet each month to explore a different strategic leadership focus area

  • apply what they’ve learned in disciplined, self-chosen, real-work situations between meetings

  • meet with each other and with their supervisors between sessions to further momentum and deepen reflection and practice

  • Dialogue on what they’re learning at each meeting, to receive feedback, and make course corrections to further their growth as a leader

This is the recipe for sustainable leadership growth:  applying new insights to real-world situations over time, engaging in reflection and dialogue around these applied insights, and thus learning from the results. We follow the acclaimed Leadership Platform model, as outlined in our book, Land On Your Feet, Not On Your Face.

COACHING

We work effectively with leaders at all stages of their careers by offering a fusion of mentoring and coaching. Our mentoring value comes from decades of practical business experience that we offer in ways that help you gain perspective and craft new ideas and approaches. Our coaching value comes from our decades of experience as facilitators, teachers, and students of human behavior. In this work, we strive always for measurable commitments to action, accountability, and change. Mentor Coaching is the best possible combination of practical business support and personal exploration.
