Leadership Development

Our Approach

Evolve curriculum is grounded in science, not theory.

Our scientifically validated employee engagement model is the foundation of our Leadership Programs. We empirically know that more engaged teams deliver higher levels of performance. To that end, our courses teach leaders to understand and deploy engagement as a business strategy. We also include a variety of key learnings from some of the world's best minds that support the concept of engagement. Additionally, we lean on the Gallup StrengthsFinder as an important tool to help leaders discover their individual talents, the talents of their team members and the power of establishing key partnerships. We customize our curriculum to meet the needs of your organization. Our program can be delivered in specific modules, in its entirety or completely customized for your organization's needs. We recommend pre-work for every module and post module coaching to achieve application of classroom topics.
