The Leadership Room
Group Coaching + Leadership Development
The DILEMMA
For top leaders, measurably effective development opportunities are elusive – individual coaching is expensive, classroom learning is limited or too junior, and stretch assignments are not always available.
The SOLUTION
The Leadership Room (TLR) is an intensive hands-on group coaching program that improves leaders’ effectiveness and accelerates their development by appreciably changing leadership behavior and challenging old assumptions. The payoff is stronger business performance, higher team engagement, and effective succession planning.

THE TLR ADVANTAGES
-
Only 10 – 12 participants, allowing for significant individual attention
-
Eight full-day meetings with about 6 weeks between sessions provides time to develop self-awareness and practice new behaviors
-
Group work, peer coaching, and individual meetings + phone calls translate to more than 80 hours of development support
-
Time between meetings allows participants to test new ideas and insights on-the-job and return to the group for “fine-tuning”
-
Expert-facilitators/executive coaches steer the learning agenda, provide thinking and insights, and point out opportunities for participants to model different behaviors. This is complemented by peer coaching, fostering independent and agile learning & encouraging collaboration
-
Each participant presents and solves a current business issue with the group’s active participation. Working on business challenges with peers from other companies or across your company dramatically expands each participant’s business perspective
