Sounds too good to be true? These methods were successfully used by Aflac, Entergy, Honda, Jones Lang LaSalle, IBM, Reckitt, and Wells Fargo to dramatically improve the skills of their top executives, senior VPs, middle managers, and lower level supervisors in leading hybrid teams. Over the last few months, I trained the leaders at these Fortune 500 companies, as well as at numerous middle market companies and quickly growing startups, on hybrid team leadership. More broadly, I served for over 20 years as the CEO of the boutique future proofing consultancy Disaster Avoidance Experts. Below are sample testimonials from my training on hybrid team leadership.
Here is a recent testimonial from Dan Rooney, Senior Vice President at Jones Lang LaSalle, a company ranked #186 by Fortune, speaking about the impact of my training:
- “Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to present to our Consulting team last week. The content was spot on and provided a unique perspective into building culture, driving innovation and brainstorming across hybrid teams (among other things). I appreciate your willingness to partner leading up to the presentation to ensure the content was tailored for the audience – it made the discussion that much more impactful. I have received positive feedback from a number of team members and look forward to collaborating more in the future!”
