Leaders & Trainers ❤️ Lighthouse Lessons
"Lighthouse Lessons is a lot more actionable than other programs we've tried; it deals with real world, everyday stuff our managers face.
When I came across Lighthouse Lessons, it really met a need that we were looking for to expand on how we cover feedback in our in-person training.
We see coaching as fundamental for leaders in developing other leaders. The Coach’s Clinic helps us to nurture and emphasize the importance of the role of the coach as a leader with Textron."
- Sean Riffenburg, Global Leadership Development Facilitator at Textron
"We were looking for a program to help our managers improve their 1 on 1s, and Lighthouse Lessons was a great fit. I've been doing 1 on 1s for years, and teaching managers how to lead efficient 1 on 1s as well, and even I found golden nuggets in the lessons to improve my 1 on 1s.
We also had great group discussions where we shared what we tried, the surprising results, and supported each other as we shared our struggles.
I highly recommend the 1 on 1 Master Class to any company looking to improve how their managers have 1 on 1s.”
- Christine Landry, Director of Talent & Culture at SeedBox Technologies
"This program is full of valuable and actionable lessons on how to be a better leader and manager.
It also offered our managers, across departments and teams, the opportunity to build camaraderie and grow together as a peer group.”
- Nathan Broslawsky, VP Engineering, SmugMug
