Why Choose Us for Senior Leadership Development
More than just a 5-day training program for senior leaders, Leading for Organizational Impact is a developmental learning journey that offers insights, tools, and support.
The heart of this journey is The Looking Glass, Inc.® Experience: a research-driven business simulation that serves as a live case study of relational leadership. The Looking Glass, Inc. simulation provides hands-on learning, critical skills practice, and a clear view of how individual leaders work across boundaries, adopt a strategic perspective, and impact organizational outcomes.
The intensive also features HiFi Conversation Analytics™, our wearable tech that transforms leadership development by measuring communication dynamics to give leaders powerful, data-driven insights that elevate their influence and impact.
While other simulations prime senior leaders for the business cases of the past, ours prepares them to face the business challenges of the future — with the executive mindsets, skillsets, and tools they will need to successfully navigate the road ahead.
