The Challenge
• Organization was seeking to strengthen its leadership skills and culture and to prioritize development of its internal management group
• Senior leaders had recognized the benefits of developing from within the organization versus facing the costs and risks associated with hiring leaders externally
• Engagement survey results reinforced the need for further employee and leader development
• Improved skills in conflict resolution and coaching were among the top priorities for development
Solutions Implemented
Following a needs assessment, we designed a customized leadership program spanning 6 months for current people leaders, project leaders, and aspiring leaders.
• Targeted the specific skills identified by the organization, including high-performing teams, coaching, feedback, communication, servant leadership, and trust
• Consisted of 3 one-day off-site retreats, pre-work steps, psychometric assessments, and real-life business challenges (action learning projects)
• Included sustainment activities designed to help participants embed new learning
Results Achieved
• Pre- and post-self-assessments of confidence levels showed significant improvement of every confidence indicator — an overall average increase of 12.5% in participant confidence on core skills taught in the program
• All three solutions proposed in group action learning projects were implemented by the organization — improving marketing strategy, key process flows, and culture
• 100% of participants found the concepts in the program useful

Vorum is truly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Kathy and the Cinga team for our first ever Leadership Development Program. Kathy’s tailored program design met both our practicing and aspiring leaders where they were, challenged each participant to find comfort in discomfort, and we have tangible outcomes that our whole company is carrying forward as we speak! The impact of this program has been beyond our expectations – thank you, Kathy!
