Feedback from individuals who have utilized the Thoughtleader Development Model.
“I learned so many things, but most of all that is okay to be the critical thinker, and use that skill to spot opportunities and foresee potential problems before they happen.”

“The program helped me to grow in so many ways : not being afraid to be vulnerable, I learned this can be a strength! It also gave me a push to make bold statements and to make room for silence during presentations.
And last but not least : the way I present myself (posture, stance) can make a big difference in getting my message across.”

“Professionally it started by defining myself as a Subject Matter Expert by discovering my personal capabilities and expertise. This journey was both insightful and exciting, and fun!
Also, it expanded my network, and by that see what I can bring end-to-end to our clients, by meeting and discussing with other experts.
On a personal level this program helped me understand my strengths and weakness and how to use these in personal engagements. ”

“Most programs focus putting square pegs in round holes to make you fit to the companies leadership model, but none of them look at your strength. Don’t forget leadership is not a title, if no one follows you or they follow you for the wrong reasons it is just management.
Fo me “Listening with empathy” was my biggest learning! Leadership is about communication. It is about getting you message across in a way that everyone can understand it. But what everyone forgets to include is “Listning”! If you don’t listen, you have no idea how if you message is received and understood! It wasn’t that I didn’t listen, but I didn’t always listen with empathy, to really understand! ”
