Leadership Institute
Testimonials
Kris
Britton, Xcel Energy - I did not realize the true value
of inspiring vision until the Institute. 'Inspiring Vision'
helped me to align activities with those I work with. I learned
the importance of documenting and re-visiting vision, but
most importantly, sharing it constantly.
Networking is a skill that was non-existent for me until the
Institute helped me demystify it. In less than one year, my
professional and personal network has increased dramatically.
Because of my newfound network, I get things accomplished
more effectively by tapping into the network and plugging
others into my network of resources to help them with their
needs. Networking has also allowed me to give back to others.
Barbara
Beckner, Qwest Communications - Others observed changes
in me including how I drive the team to accountable results,
set clear objectives that are tied to measurable results,
and how I networked within the company to identify individuals
or teams that can help us achieve our goals. From my mentor
I gained a totally new perspective, new resource pool and
professional guidance that has proven to be invaluable.
Sandra
Kong, TIAA-CREF - I have become more focused and determined.
I no longer walk away from uncomfortable situations. I am
bolder about addressing issues. What I attained from THE INSTITUTE
is the confidence I needed to be a more effective leader.
Deb
Morton, McDATA - One of the greatest gifts I received
from THE INSTITUTE was getting myself back. Maybe a better
way to say it is, I can be myself and succeed. I'm aware of
so many more options in terms of dealing with conflict, entering
a conference room, facilitating agreement, understanding the
importance of vision, and making connections. I feel like
I have choices and options in charting my course.
Monica
Hahn, Aramark - I looked around and there was no other
program out there that offered the same combination of content,
application, and coaching. THE INSTITUTE spread it over a
year, giving me a chance to apply what I'd learned (with my
coach's help) in between sessions. For me the professional
development planning done with my Coach was the most important
and valuable part of the program!! The coaching really enabled
me to customize the program to my individual and corporate
needs. On another front, it can be lonely at the top - the
further you move up the corporate ladder, the fewer people
you know who are at your own level. THE INSTITUTE and the
Women's Vision Foundation offered me a network of professionals
to learn, grow and laugh with.
