Leadership assessment

Receiving valuable feedback from a variety of sources is the cornerstone of personal development. We use a number of assessments to help you better understand your skills and heighten your self-awareness.

One-on-one coaching conversations

Your executive leadership coach will help you explore key areas of your personal leadership development plan and focus your attention on what is working well and what needs to change, based on your individual assessment, leadership goals and team feedback.

Team effectiveness

Learning through your study teams is integral to your overall development of interpersonal acumen and emotional awareness. Gain critical knowledge and experience in team dynamics, and discover the actions you can take to achieve success as a high-performing team.

Leadership retreat

See yourself and your world through new lenses, recognizing that complexity, ambiguity and challenge are opportunities for innovation, reinvention and renewal. This experiential off-site workshop allows you to gain insight into your patterns of behaviour and take a courageous step towards achieving personal and professional transformation.

“It’s a privilege to have this time to self-reflect, to consider what you really want and what drives you. The experience is made more profound by being offsite in an atmosphere of trust and sharing.”
