Coaching programs for Emerging & Advancing Leaders

Every leadership transition is difficult ... whether from emerging leader to first time leading people, or from leading leaders to leading a unit or business. And as we all know, traditional training simply doesn't work very well.

The Tom Giberson Leadership Institute offers two uniquely powerful solutions for emerging and advancing leaders. Each program meets coachees 'where they are' and empowers participants to build their unique leadership practice and teams and organization of accountability, engagement, and inclusion.

Regardless of where you are now in your leadership journey, these coaching programs can make a fundamental change in your leadership and life.

To date,  leaders representing 31 organizations and 4 countries have completed the program. Program features, pricing, and design was influenced by the feedback from these Aspiring Leaders. Here's just a few of their comments:

• This is so much more than training! I realized that each of us had a similar experience and built upon the same foundation, but we each left with an experience, learning, and development plan unique to us--just like working with a coach! 
• This program feels more like a holistic whole-self development program that applies very clearly to leadership.
• I felt more and more empowered after each session, and confident in my ability to learn to lead ... especially in the aspects of leadership I might struggle with in my first Leading People role.
• I have tools to use right away 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 help me stand out from other applications.

The leadership and leadership development principles behind these program and the 'coaching style' approach ensures the Aspiring & Advancing Coaching Series ®  work in any industry, culture, organization, and discipline. If you have 15 or more leaders to develop, these programs can also be uniquely customized to your organization's values, competencies, training programs, etc.

Through self-paced videos, cases, high-impact assessments, expert models, practical application throughout the program, and weekly Leadership LIVE MasterClasses with Tom, leaders will not only look like they know what they're doing leading others, but they will know precisely what they're doing and why.

Tom crafted the Aspiring Leader® Series based upon:

• 25 years of coaching, consulting, and advising  upper management through the CEO levels
• Working 1/1 with over 3000 leaders
• Award-winning leadership researcher and author
• 20 years as a leadership professor

• Feedback intensive: Coachees complete three high-impact leadership assessments that connect their leader personality and motives to the unique Leader Impact they will have on others. Interactive exercises in their environment provide a clear framework and tools for getting additional insights and feedback from others.
• Encourages self-reflection: Through feedback & journaling, coachees learn NOT to point fingers.  You will learn to take responsibility for yourself,  reflect on the impact you have on others, the choices that you make, and plan for how you can foster your own growth as a leader and person.
• Growth-oriented: Coachees leave with a clear leadership growth  plan specifically related to their strengths and growth needs in a leadership role.
• Proactive: Coachees know exactly what they need to develop--and why--to successfully Lead. 
• Accountability-based: Coachees understand that their leadership growth and development is THEIR responsibility; the organization and their manager are supports.
• Strategic:  Coachees leave with a 90 Day Leadership Launch Plan®  that outlines their first day, day 30, day 60, and day 90 to fundamentally change their leadership impact or to strategically onboard to a new leadership role.
