Invest in Your Next Generation of Leaders
Developing your leadership bench represents a critical priority as many organizations confront leadership retirements and open positions without succession plans to promote existing staff into those essential roles. This vulnerability threatens continuity and limits growth potential. Through our programs, participants learn the characteristics that define exceptional leaders while engaging in coaching sessions with experienced mentors who offer practical guidance. They develop personal leadership philosophies that transform their approach, bringing innovative thinking and strengthened dedication back to their work. Employers regularly share how they notice significant improvements in skills and engagement after their people complete Lyon Coaching Group training.
Our Approach to Corporate Training
We begin every engagement with thorough needs assessment to understand your organization‘s specific challenges, goals, and context. This diagnostic phase ensures training addresses real needs rather than assumed ones. We review performance data, interview stakeholders, and assess current capabilities to identify priority development areas.
From there, we design customized training solutions that blend multiple learning modalities. Programs might include classroom-style workshops, experiential activities, small group discussions, individual reflection, peer learning, and on-the-job application assignments. This variety accommodates different learning styles while promoting retention and application.
Throughout delivery, we emphasize practical application. Participants don’t just learn concepts—they practice applying them to real situations they face. Between training sessions, they implement skills at work and receive coaching support. This approach ensures training produces behavior change, not just knowledge acquisition.
