Sounding Board is changing leadership development with our tech-driven approach that delivers high-impact, 1:1 personalized development at all levels – from your frontline managers to your senior executives.
That’s where Sounding Board comes in. Research has shown that coaching is one of the most effective training modalities, yet it has been one of the least-used due to cost and lack of scalability. Our coaching is customized to each of your leaders with coach curated content supplementing individual sessions.
Coaching is a highly personalized form of professional leadership development, with an action-oriented approach. Coaches partner with employees to increase self-awareness and generate insights that can lead to lasting mindset shifts and behavior change shifts.
Coaches may use a combination of questions, tools, frameworks and content to personalize the learning experience for each employee.
We don’t just take any coach. Our coaches go through a vigorous 3-step vetting process, that includes a live coaching session to demonstrate their coaching skills. They are required to have the highest level of professional leadership coach certification, 10+ years of experience, background in organizational learning/psychology, and real-world leadership, operational expertise, and experience at companies like Genentech, Google and Lyft, to name a few.
The coaches are also supported by a virtual community which provides a sharing of information and insights. We exercise our commitment to development every day, and it’s a great model for success…our coach retention rate is 92%. That means that you’re not going to be switching out coaches in mid-stream through an engagement. Our own investment in Leadership Development is core to why we are able to offer our clients the highest caliber of coaches in the industry who provide consistent quality coaching across all tiers of leadership.
We start by analyzing your corporate vision, values, culture, structure and more to gain a deep understanding of how a leadership development program can help meet your goals.
Next we help identify the right leaders for enrollment, aligning each individual to their ideal coach using a 6-point matching system based on cultural fit, functional area, management level, experience, social style and our proprietary matching algorithms.
We incorporate key learnings from our analytics model to create a continuous feedback loop that drives individual progress and corporate ROI.
