An ULTRA LEADERSHIP Development Experience 

You gain competitive advantage when your people are engaged, empowered, and activated. Teams of engaged, empowered, and activated people don’t need managers; they need coaches.

Based on the concepts, frameworks, and tools laid out in Greg Giuliano’s newest book to be released December 2024, Coaching for (a) Change: How to Engage, Empower, and Activate People, the Be a GR8 Coach program offers personalized learning and development in a communal environment over six months. We engage leaders on a learning journey to grow their capacity to engage people through coaching and to empower and activate them to shape their work and achieve their best results.

The Be a GR8 Coach program can shift organizational culture by turning managers accustomed to acting as expert problem-solvers into coaches who align people, build bench strength, and coordinate action - transforming and creating a leadership culture that engages and empowers people, activating them to shape their work and achieve their best results.

Why Be a GR8 Coach™

When it comes to leading people and teams, the traditional command-and-control style is giving way to a more engaging, empowering and collaborative approach. The shift towards coaching as a leadership style is reshaping how teams function, interact, and deliver on their objectives.

Growing collective capacity for coaching people and teams:

  • Improves engagement. People who are coached are more engaged and committed than people with managers who don't coach.

  • Increases retention. People who are coached are more likely to stay than people with managers who don't coach.

  • Improves development. People who are coached work to develop themselves more than people with managers who don't coach.

Our experience and research in leadership development and adult learning demonstrate that learning is most impactful when it has a strong business context, takes a multi-dimensional approach, and is a self-directed and communal experience that happens over time with coaching support.

The Be a GR8 Coach™ program is designed as an immediately applicable experience with strong and sustained involvement of leaders in the learning process.
