Leader Profile

The Senior Leader Forum is for experienced leaders who are responsible for significant initiatives within their organizations. They are charged with accomplishing those results with and through other leaders who are positioned in a variety of functions, groups, and in some cases, other organizations,  locally and/or globally. 

The Forum is for leaders seeking to optimize their performance as well as that of those under them in pivotal leadership areas that include but aren't limited to: executive presence, leadership style, leadership brand, managing teams, effectively working the power and political dynamics at the higher levels, exercising influence for optimal results, building sound communication and conflict-handling skills, leading change initiatives, progressing on a career path according to plan, and integrating meaningful work with a healthful and fulfilling personal life.

Leaders who join the Forum not only plan to be fully engaged in the process, they are willing to freely give as much as they get along the way.  They believe that they will greatly benefit from colleagues who may be experiencing leadership challenges and opportunities similar to their own and are anticipating contributing to and learning from those peers.

Those who match these criteria generally vice presidents, managing directors, executive directors, C-level leaders, senior vice presidents not yet in the C-Suite, and a select group of senior directors overseeing broad-based, people-intensive, multi-level programs and initiatives.
