Case Study

B&L Pipeco

Program
Description

Manager to leader training program for twelve managers to develop individual leadership plans based on results from the Korn Ferry 360 assessment. Over six months, participants attended monthly skills development sessions, practiced leadership tasks, and met with a professional coach for guidance. Accountability groups of three participants also met monthly to support goal progress and goal attainment.

We’ve worked with Deb for years and are confident that her programs are making a difference. Deb understands how important it is to preserve our company culture through our future leaders. Because our people have different strengths, skills and ambitions, I believe that Deb’s customized approach is not only effective but highly appreciated. I am proud that she is woven into the fabric of our organization and is seen by our team as a valuable resource when someone is seeking advice, guidance or just needing a sounding board.”
