”A great opportunity to slow down, take a step back, and be thoughtful about your performance as a leader. It enabled me to reflect on the ways in which I drive positive outcomes on my team and the ways in which my behavior hinders the overall success of the team — and figure out the corrective behaviors needed to drive more positive outcomes.

The LOI
Program Experience
A High-Impact Senior Leadership Training Program That Address’s Today’s Challenges
When navigating complex global trends, unpredictable economic forces, and rapidly changing business cycles, senior leaders need more than just a list of competencies to succeed. They need proven, holistic senior leadership development that’s built around the real challenges they face at this level:
- Balancing people and task demands to create needed strategies and structures, build a future talent pipeline and transition into new responsibilities—all at the same time
- Working to lead up and across the enterprise to create new growth opportunities, improve cross-functional processes and leverage limited resources
- Enhancing personal growth to build credibility as a senior leader and become more aware of how behaviors impact others
LOI is a comprehensive three-phase approach to learning which includes pre-program assessment and executive coaching, a week of face-to-face training and coaching, innovative exercises, peer feedback, a cutting-edge simulation, post-program coaching and application back in the workplace.
Three-Phase Approach to Learning
Prepare—Getting Started
- Online Pre-work & 360-degree Feedback

In the weeks prior to the live program, participants prepare for the experience by completing the required online pre-work. This includes their 360-degree feedback raters and taking their self-assessments, as well as meeting with an executive coach to debrief their assessment results.
