Work Style Assessment
Participants go through an assessment and debrief session (Default: TypeCoach – Temperaments & Change) to understand how their work and communication style impacts their ability to drive change in the organization.
Case Study
With guidance from expert faculty, participants analyze a leadership case study. Through Socratic discussion format, they will unpack learnings from the story and connect them to their own experiences in working collaboratively across functions.
Finance Challenge
Capstone Simulation in which participants are tasked with running a business in a fast-paced, competitive marketplace. They will form a strategy, make critical personnel decisions, set operational capacities, and design effective sales campaigns while working within complex organizational dynamics.

I was able to bring formulas and models directly from the program to shine a light on problems my client was having (and talk them out of a less-than-advisable investment).
