PIVOT is the leadership development program that companies have been searching for – a customizable, practical and hands-on learning experience with immediate application. Organizations too often invest in ineffective one-and-done workshops, or standardized, cookie-cutter programs that fail to reflect their organization’s specific needs or make a lasting impact on their culture. Pivot is here to change this.
The design of PIVOT is based on our combined experience of over 50 years of client service, including 4,400 hours of executive coaching, leadership development and team facilitation. PIVOT integrates a variety of tools and techniques that work in the fast-paced environments in which high-performing leaders operate. Stop investing in programs that have no lasting impact. Connect with us to learn more about how this program will give your leaders the tools and support they require to pivot and elevate their leadership for lasting and sustainable impact.
Each session focuses on just one powerful concept so the learning sticks. Exploring one tool or framework ensures participants can quickly apply their learning and make an impact on how they lead their teams.
A leader’s time is limited so action items are woven into participants’ daily work rather than adding to their plates. After learning a new concept, leaders will be asked to use it, notice the impact, and adjust as needed.
Personalized reminders, delivered in anticipation of the need and with the participant’s involvement, are used to help leaders apply their learning on the job when it matters most to them and to their teams.
PIVOT’s sessions flow in three phases to develop the most impactful competencies that agile leaders need. To meet the specific development objectives of your organization, we can further customize the mix of topics within each phase below to create a bespoke yet grounded experience for your leaders.
If you were to PIVOT how you perceive and lead yourself to focus on strengths, what would change?
How might you PIVOT the way you lead, coach and develop high-performing teams?
What’s the PIVOT you want to take to achieve your vision and drive organizational results?
A strengths-based lens focuses on positive mindsets and desired outcomes.
Program design aligns to your organization to help advance company goals.
A blend of in-person and virtual group sessions maximize impact.
Content is tailored to the specific needs and interests of your organization.
The three-phase design can be delivered over a 6-month or 9-month period.
Sessions balance individual reflection, peer learning and group discussion.
Participants apply each concept to their own challenges and opportunities.
Structured check-ins foster continuous development and sustained learning.
Every aspect of the PIVOT leadership development program is intentional. We’ve made design choices based on insights gleaned from deep experience working with cohort programs, individual clients, and L&D executives. Through our collective careers, we have had an array of responsibilities related to development, including selecting and investing in external vendor programs, leading teams of facilitators to deliver client services, and refining the designs of programs to ensure they hit the mark for a given target audience.
We have provided 1-on-1 coaching to over 450 clients and delivered programs to over 100 organizations. From all of these vantage points, we have observed, listened and sought feedback to understand the components that make programs impactful for organizations, and how to design them in a way that engages participants and fosters
sustainable growth.
