Distinguished Leadership Program
Gallup research tells us that managers account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement. Currently, 85% of managers believe they are doing a good job, yet only 30% of the workforce is engaged. We need to address this gap.
Managers in entry-level roles have the tough job of balancing demands coming down from senior leaders with the needs boiling up from their direct reports.
They are expected to continue functioning as operators while also managing and leading people. These are two very different skill sets that require specific development.
Are you short on time, resources, and expertise to develop the leaders in your organization? That’s where I come in!
Leading people is hard. It can be easier. I can help!
Being promoted into leadership is a significant step in someone’s career, and one that doesn’t often come with warning labels, though it should. Without proper resources and support, your new leaders are likely to find themselves stumbling from one day to the next, wondering if they are cut out for the role they are in and the stress can be overwhelming.
Remaining stuck in this position for too long leads to feelings of inability and can destroy their confidence causing them to step backwards towards comfort and stagnation.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Now, imagine going to work each day, knowing you have a team of leaders who don’t shy away from the difficult conversations, keep a balanced workload allowing them to prioritize the most important business initiatives, build a highly engaged and motivated team, and deliver superior business results.
With the right tools in hand, the mindset of a leader, and a professional support system in place, they can effectively shift from being the subject matter expert to being the leader people want to work with, the leader people remember and talk about for years to come.
They can be DISTINGUISHED.
It’s nice to meet you!
I’m a professional, certified leadership and career coach and I can help make leadership easier for your key leaders.
I was promoted into leadership early in my career and definitely before I was ready. After a couple years of struggling and hoping people would follow me because of my title, I learned there was so much more to leadership than the title and pay raise. For the past 20 years, I have been a student of leadership development, helping hundreds of leaders maximize their potential, develop their teams, and lead with distinction.
Will your leaders be next?

The Investment: $6,000
Organizations come to me because their leaders are:
struggling to balance their workload and often appear overwhelmed
stuck in a cycle of being short staffed, with high employee turnover
avoiding difficult conversations, leading to unproductive conflict within the team or employees to continue to under-perform
having trouble shifting from a “doer” mindset to a leadership mindset
Organizations that hire me see these results:
Leaders feel more confident, less stressed, and have increased job satisfaction
Retention of key leaders and a stronger pipeline of high potentials who are ready to successfully step into leadership
Improved employee engagement and retention
FAQs

Six months seems like a long time, but gosh does it fly by. The only required meeting time is 1.5 hours per month so the program is generally considered low touch and high impact! The work I’ve done with clients around time management and prioritization generally finds them between 5-10 hours per week of time back in their schedule, so the ROI is there.
-
Executive leadership coaching can cost upwards of $30,000-$50,000 per year, so relatively speaking, this is a great deal! However, I can understand the sticker shock and encourage you to do your research to find the RIGHT program for your team members.

No problem! We truly appreciate your growth mindset and desire to invest in your leaders. We kick off this program with a hearty self-assessment process that has proven enlightening for our clients. We also do a Leadership Capability 360 assessment to source feedback from those that work closest with them. Even the most season leaders have come away with areas to grow and develop.
