Emerging and first-time managers' development needs are unique and complex--arguably more complex than senior leaders. They haven't had learning experiences as managers to understand the role, learn their own strengths and weaknesses, and get feedback to grow.

Emerging and first-time managers' development needs are unique and complex--arguably more complex than senior leaders. They haven't had learning experiences as managers to understand the role, learn their own strengths and weaknesses, and get feedback to grow.
But what do we do? We give them off-the shelf training events and push them through like cattle!
We offer coaching to senior leaders exactly because we know that event-style training doesn't work!
Why LGC?
Emerging Leader Development
Why LGC?
Rather than tick-the-box day-long training events, what if you could offer a developmental experience to your emerging and first-time managers to help them develop the mindset, skills, and behaviors of effective, skilled leaders?
What if you could offer the kind of expert coaching support typically reserved for senior-level leaders to your emerging and first-time managers?

Here are just a few comments from leader participants:
- This program taught me everything about leadership that my executive MBA program did--and more! This is the best leadership development program I've completed.
- This is so much more than training! I realized that each of us has a similar experience in the program and built upon the same foundation, but we each left with an experience, self-insights, learning about ourselves as leaders, and development plan unique to us.
- This program feels like a holistic leadership development program that applies very clearly to every aspect of my life.
- I felt more and more empowered after each session, and more confident in my ability to lead ... especially in the aspects of leadership I might struggle with in my first Leading People role.
- I have new leadership and relationship-building tools that I've used already in my current role, and a Growth Plan designed specifically around my natural strengths and challenges--specifically for my first Leading People role.
- I really appreciate Tom's advice on how to leverage what I'm learning in a job interview. This program helped me stand out from other applications.
- The weekly Leadership LIVE Masterclasses are great! Tom prepares content in various aspects of leadership to add to our learning--it is also great to hear other Emerging Leaders and Advancing Leaders share their experiences. I learn a lot from hearing others' questions and discussions. It really has changed the way I think about leadership!
