Growth is internally motivated.
Individuals and teams indicate which growth areas are a priority for them. They also get input from people they trust—but have the final say over which skills to build.
Development is self-directed.
Employees take the lead in their own development, with their managers playing a coaching role. E-learning is broken into manageable pieces that individuals complete at their own pace.
Learning is experiential and relevant.
Interactive workshops and e-learning make concepts tangible and give people practice with new skills. These skills translate directly to work, and solve real problems for individuals and teams.

7 growth areas that drive performance
The best leaders take time to work on themselves. In this growth area, leaders learn how their instincts drive their behavior. They also build core capabilities such as leading with purpose, engaging others, reframing challenges, and staying energized.
Team members develop skills to collaborate effectively and innovate. They learn to spot behaviors that aren’t working, and change course. They build purpose, trust, role clarity, accountability, and psychological safety on their teams.
Managers learn core coaching skills. They become adept at holding one-on-one development conversations and coaching teams. This creates a culture of learning and growth, and empowers team members to act independently and innovatively.
Team members become more aware of their personalities, values, emotions, and work styles. They discover how their behavior affects teammates. They see how differences can cause conflict, and learn how to harness this creative friction.
Leaders learn how to attract and hire more diverse teams, and foster belonging on their teams. Team members ensure that individuals of diverse identities are treated fairly and fully included. Diverse perspectives lead to new and valuable insights.
Individuals sharpen their understanding of the value they bring customers, and communicate this value more clearly. They learn to design with customers’ needs at the fore. And they pick up agile team practices to deliver more value, more quickly.
Individuals use techniques to make the most of their time—from structuring their day, to staying focused, to leading better meetings. They also increase their effectiveness—becoming more proactive, sharpening critical thinking, and negotiating better.
