“We selected the Blanchard coaches for AARP Leaders because we believe in an integrated approach to talent development. The Blanchard coaches have an unrivaled ability to weave the concepts of SLII^® into the coaching engagements. Additionally, we were able to select Blanchard coaches who were extremely experienced and who were certified in our competency framework.”

“Coaching has helped my organization in a number of ways. One of the biggest is the morale shift of my whole team. People on my team were interviewing (thinking of leaving), and are no longer interviewing. Now I’m having four one-on-ones per month with each team member, and these meetings are organized around the results and professional development of the team.”

“My coaching has created a positive change between me and my boss. I went from D2 to high D3 during my coaching, and now I’m at D4. My boss doesn’t run calls for me anymore. His silence tells me what a great job I’ve done.”

“Overall, I am thoroughly thrilled with my coach. The most obvious effect coaching has had for me is that I now feel I am much more aggressive, assertive, and confident. I had trouble ‘flexing my muscles’ as a manager. My coach is very professional and allows me to see the world through new eyes.”

“I have found the coaching experience: helpful, rewarding, motivating, empowering, and ‘development focused.’ I would like to continue sessions! My coach is terrific!”
