We live in a world of ever-accelerating change. Competition is fierce and unrelenting with everyone being asked to do more with less. The value of strong leaders has never been greater … leaders who thrive on change, understand their personal leadership strengths and opportunities, and are committed to lifelong learning.
Tomorrow’s leaders will need even more critical thinking skills and collaborative capabilities to adapt to ever-changing technologies and organizational changes. They will also need to be clear about their values and instinctively do the right things at all times.
For more than two decades, hundreds of top national and global companies have relied on SIM’s time-tested RLF programs to transform thousands of rising, high-potential professionals into such strong, quality leaders.

Editor's Notes
RLF is committed to “charting the course for tomorrow’s leaders … and your company’s future.”
That’s more than a slogan … it’s a promise we keep each and every year.
Unlike most of those other 47 million leadership programs you can Google, RLF is not just another set of quick workshops, lectures or seminars.
It’s a long-term, life-changing journey …
RLF is … a comprehensive series of six 2-day sessions unfolding over nine months that provide rising, high-potential professionals with the set of building blocks and knowledge to lift them to the top of their profession.
Highly-interactive
Participant-driven
Renowned for highly-engaging interaction among peer and professional colleagues, who challenge each others’ ideas and assumptions in a collaborative environment encouraging “outside-the-box” thinking and a free exchange of ideas.
RLF is … learning from and dialogue with more than a dozen executive business leaders regarding challenges faced and lessons learned.
Participants also constantly and closely interact with Facilitators and each other, developing a coaching and peer support network for life.
RLF is also about challenging the mind …
We read and discuss more than 30 books and other media. This is a HUGE point of pride and a significant point of difference from other programs!
Participants discover and practice self-awareness through team-building, creative thinking, communication enhancement and expanding knowledge of business ethics and the global environment.
RLF is … enhancing the ability to connect with others in a genuine, inspiring way.
People come out of RLF with increased self-awareness and self-confidence … a more powerful connection with their belief system … and the realization of the importance of “giving back” and helping others.
Ultimately, RLF is all about genuinely understanding one’s self … understanding others … and understanding the importance and practice of true, authentic LEADERSHIP
… so that participants can continue a more successful personal and professional journey of better leading themselves, leading others, and leading their organizations.
And RLF has the winning formula … a time-tested, proven process that stands out from other leadership development programs…
