“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.”
Lyndon B. Johnson

The future success of today’s enterprise is greatly dependent on developing tomorrow’s leaders.
- Is your organization struggling in this fast-paced environment – more than you think it should?
- Is your company fully equipped to ensure leadership continuity, smooth succession and long-term growth?
- Are your leaders skilled communicators – ready and willing to have difficult conversations and make an impact?
- Are you, as an external change agent, looking for a new model to provide the managers and leaders in your client organizations with the critical skills necessary to move ideas forward and achieve greater success?
Survey after survey suggests that we are not doing well in the area of developing tomorrow’s leaders. It’s no surprise that staff development – preparing the next generation of leaders and supporting skill development at all levels – is a top issue for business leaders around the globe.
The 2-Day Essential Conversations for Developing Others™ (ECDO) provides the answers to leadership development.
One of the core competencies that successful organizations now require is that managers focus on developing others to ensure continuity, smooth succession and sustained growth.Corporate Coach U’s newest program is designed to equip leaders to address this key competency.
The 2-day Essential Conversations for Developing Others™ leadership development program builds on the skills and tools introduced in The Coaching Clinic™. The core of the ECDO program is the belief that managers can successfully initiate developmental conversations through a coach approach. This exciting new program trains participants to recognize and create opportunities for developmental conversations and teaches how to maximize these opportunities for leadership development.
