6. The Need for a Coached Leadership Exchange!
“With todayʼs fast-changing technology, increasingly global,
multi-cultural, and team-based work environments, no one
mentor can possibly provide the guidance, exposure, and
opportunities that are so essential to effectively managing
current job challenges or preparing for future leadership roles.”
" " " " " " " " " " "- MIT Sloan Management Review"
Research demonstrates an exponentially large return
on investment when you receive personalized
professional coaching alongside the learning, peer
mentoring and connections that come from
participating in a coach-led leadership exchange. !
