YLO Program Description
Objective:
- Support mid-career leader’s optimization of their work and life success.
Methodology:
- Customized individual leadership development using experiential, classical and peer coaching/learning. Each group is facilitated by Vance Caesar who will lead each 2008 & 2009 YLO with occasional assistance from proven senior associates.
- Ten full day sessions hosted by participants in myriad learning environments, including multi-cultural experiences, real-time member’s cases and best practice classroom curriculum supplemented with visiting resources. We constantly align the learning priorities with the group’s needs and interests. The year-long program is launched with a two-day/night retreat at our mountain retreat in Idyllwild.
- Another crucial component is the supportive team members who hold each other accountable for implementing actions that make their organizations better and more profitable.
