Kolb’s Model for Experiential Learning honors the fact that people not only learn differently, but that they only learn effectively through a process that begins with a real experience.
Leading in a VUCA world isn’t simple. But, by becoming agile and solutions-focused, leaders can keep their staff engaged and their companies successful.
The pandemic unveiled new challenges for organizations, including how they develop their people. Now it’s time to discard the old approach to learning & development and embrace agility.
Sounding Board has been diligent in gathering an incredible group of individuals. These coaches have a genuine, deep-seated desire to help leaders grow to their full potential and an unrelenting thirst to continue their own professional growth. Earning more accolades, more certifications, more knowledge, and experience in so many ways.

We all need career development help from time to time–even the most self-sufficient entrepreneurs can’t go it alone. That’s where our 2018 Fellow Christine Tao comes in.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as a founder & CEO is that scale is a function of your team. Without a strong team, no matter how hard you work, your company will simply not grow. As we look to the future towards our mission of creating the world’s most impactful leaders, Lori and I feel so fortunate to have had an incredible leadership team surrounding us.
