YLO Program Description

Customized individual leadership development using experiential, classical and peer coaching/learning with each group. This is facilitated by a proven senior leadership coach with extraordinary delivery results in similar settings. Vance will lead each 2010 & 2011 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 and a half day 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.
