High-Potential Leadership Development Program

Our High-Potential Leadership Development Program is a comprehensive coaching engagement, tailored to the unique context and needs of your aspiring leaders. Spanning a period of three to six months our program is meticulously designed to enhance preparedness for new and upcoming career opportunities. We align our approach to this program with the organization's Talent Management Process to ensure a cohesive and strategic approach to professional development.

  • 1. Sponsor Alignment

    The first step in our program involves a conversation with the leader and their direct supervisor to align on the goals of the program. This is critical to ensure everyone’s working towards the same end. We design this alignment such that it allows for flexibility for the leader within the context of the organization’s goals.

  • 2. Leadership Assessment

    Understanding where you are now is crucial for knowing where to go next. We help leaders understand the results of their chosen assessment and explore how they might take action on what they’re learning about themselves.

  • 3. Leadership Skills Training

    One-on-one or small group sessions focused on skills that leaders in the program have yet to fully develop. We deliver workshops from time management to goal setting to living your values and coaching team members.

  • 4. Leader's Agenda Coaching

    A series of coaching sessions with the leader based on their agenda and what they want to work on during the program. There are often areas identified in their assessment, goals co-created with their leader, and 360 degree feedback that the leader may choose to explore with their coach.

  • 5. Business Impact Project

    The program culminates in a business impact project, where each leader involved in the program chooses a project that will further the organization’s interests while allowing the leader to practice the new leadership skills they are learning during the program.

Our Approach to Leadership Development.

An image depicting growth through the levels of vertical development. On the right is text that contrasts vertical development to horizontal development.

  • Vertical development is different from “horizontal” growth. Horizontal growth is defined as acquiring experience and knowledge, as well as new skills and competencies. While important, horizontal growth does not lead to new ways of interpreting oneself and the world, or transform one’s ability to take new perspectives. Vertical development fosters the growth of new perspectives and a greater ability to handle challenging dilemmas. In today’s increasingly complex work and life contexts, vertical development is essential - and the good news is how an individual grows through these stages of maturity can be measured. Evidence gathered through research over the last four decades shows that vertical development can be traced as a logical sequence of eight stages of increasing maturity. Our approach tailors coaching to the unique stage of development of each leader, creating the conditions for growth towards what is next in each leader’s developmental journey.
