Leadership at Every Level:
The 360° Approach for Effective Learning

​“Leadership is not a position at the top –
it is a conscious commitment to personal excellence at every level of the enterprise.”
– Patti Cotton

You know that personal leadership at all levels of your business is critical. But how can you be sure your training dollars really pay off?

Every year, the United States marketplace spends almost $200 billion to train and develop their employee base in new and advanced skills. Yet, participants in most traditional training programs retain only up to 23% of the learning imparted because they lack support in integrating the learning through practical application.

Patti uses a “coach approach” in her curriculum design and delivery for much greater results.

This highly effective training method has shown to nearly quadruple participants’ ability to retain their learning and actually apply it on the job.

A coach approach reinforces formal knowledge with practical exercises and a way to track progress and assess for next steps. As participants apply their learning to the workplace, they can thus take responsibility for their progress, and you will see results from your investment.

“If you expect to be in business tomorrow, you must cultivate your future leaders, today.”
– Patti Cotton

The programs outlined below are designed with the coach approach so that facilitating the professional development of your company’s talent is best supported.

Patti delivers these as live workshops and as corporate training programs, both live and online, to facilitate your needs.
