About the Academies
Summer 2022 Graduate
Incorporating coaching into my day-to-day work has allowed me to serve as a more effective thought partner and sounding board to my colleagues. Coaching has also provided me with new tools for supporting my direct reports and their growth as leaders and problem-solvers. I highly recommend this course for senior leaders who want to grow or stretch their teams.
