What if your leadership development programs fostered sustained habit change, instead of just teaching a framework?
What if it was founded on adult learning principles, psychology and change models to maximize insights and initiate action?
A study conducted by the Harvard Business Review reported that...
70%
of employees claim they don't have the skills needed to do their jobs.
25%
believe training measurably improves performance
12%
apply new skills learned in learning and development programs to their jobs.
Here's the problem.
You know that in order for development programs to stick,
participants need more than just one burst of content and
motivation...

Case Study
Background
To retain and engage a highly valued leader within a financial institution, Ama La Vida was called in to provide 1:1 executive coaching to the VP of Marketing.
Problem
The VP of Marketing did not feel like she was given the proper coaching and investment required for her growth. She expressed concerns of being stagnant and wanting a new opportunity.
Coaching Approach
Through 1:1 coaching, it was discovered early on that the VP of Marketing was frustrated due to a lack of career progression. As part of the coaching program, there were discussions with the VP of Marketing and the CMO to identify a career path based on need, strengths, and fit for the organization. This led to the VP getting more exposure to strategic opportunities and more face time with the CEO.
Since then, this leader has been promoted to SVP and is thriving within her new role. It was also identified through 360 feedback that the VP of Marketing was not an effective communicator. As part of the coaching, the leader identified several blindspots regarding effective communication and made tremendous progress to influence change and gain buy-in. As a recent win, the leader was invited to present her 2020 marketing strategy for the whole organization.

Foram is an incredibly engaging facilitator. In addition to the timeliness of our subject, Change Management is also a broad topic that could have been overwhelming, especially for a group with many new people leaders. Foram did a fantastic job tailoring the material to be relevant, so that our discussions were pertinent, and the core principles were absorbed. I'm confident we'll all incorporate the RISE approach to change management to improve our leadership through transitions of any kind.
