  • Development Planning: Guide leaders in identifying 1–3 key development priorities based on their assessment outcomes.
  • Project Advisement: Provide expertise on pacing and rollout best practices for a staggered cohort approach (e.g., groups of ~5 leaders at a time).
  • Synthesis & Reporting: Conduct light preparation and follow-up for each executive, including data analysis and summary notes.

  • Executive Presence: Proven experience delivering leadership assessments and debriefs to VP and C-suite level executives.
  • Coaching Expertise: A strong background in leadership coaching with the ability to synthesize complex 360-degree feedback.
  • Project Management: Ability to independently manage a staggered rollout for multiple participants while maintaining high engagement.
  • Communication: Exceptional facilitation and interpersonal communication skills.
