Talent Development
Designing and delivering a framework for exponential growth
We thoughtfully leverage proven approaches to build custom solutions for developing talent.
BUILDING ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY
Maximizing the impact of your development investment
High-performers create competitive advantage, and it takes great leaders to sustain that advantage. You need innovative ideas and proven approaches to develop leaders at every stage in your organization—and the leaders’ growth must keep pace with the exponential rate of change in the marketplace.
Over the past 25 years, we have worked with hundreds of companies to create talent development programs that transform individuals at all levels and equip leaders to lead for growth.
Unlocking Potential
Equipping your leaders to bring out the best in others
Transitioning from individual contributor to leader begins with a choice, and scaling a leader’s impact requires an ever-evolving development journey. Shifting focus from “me” to others requires looking inside, reflecting on strengths and having ambition to take on more. Leaders then must continually recommit to help others become their best selves, benefiting and strengthening the team.
When Choosing to Lead, leaders connect with their authentic and purpose-filled selves to create team culture that connects individuals to the organization’s vision. When Leading from Within, they hone their unique leadership style and philosophy. And, as they focus on Committing to Lead, they fully embrace the leader they want to be, gain clarity on what they must do and take ownership of their ongoing growth as a leader. The cycle enables a magical transformation at every level of responsibility.
Shaping Your Future
Charting the unique roadmap for organizational success
Your needs are distinctive. Your professional and leadership development agenda should be too. Our experience and expertise have guided us to create a collection of high-impact approaches, and we curate both content and methodology to design and deliver professional and leadership programs to achieve your development goals. Together, we ensure you have the right people in the right roles with the right capabilities to produce unprecedented levels of success.
A portfolio of proven approaches
Formal Mentoring
High-impact mentoring that develops talent requires structure. Our process combines proprietary matching methodology with rich professional development content and powerful peer exchange to unleash mentee potential. We work with clients to build custom mentoring programs that accelerate the right talent at the right time.
Structured Sponsorships
A sponsor puts their personal political capital on the line to advocate for someone—that is a choice. Our proven approach engenders sponsorship by enabling substantive dialogue that uncovers the amazing diverse talent that is hidden in plain sight. Connecting your top talent with the leaders who can move them forward can change the dynamics of your succession plans.
Advisor Networks
Your leaders have a wealth of knowledge, but not always the time to commit to formal mentoring. Our advisor network framework enables your high-performers to tap into those leaders’ superpowers and equips those leaders with tools and techniques that make it easy to share their wisdom.
Live Workshops
Development relies on experiential learning. Our live workshops blend proven concepts with real-life experiences and interactive exercises, so that your top performers can put new concepts and actionable tools into practice right away. We work with each client to design a series of workshops to achieve their development goals.
Online Workshops
Pathbuilders has defined a new standard for interactive online talent development programming. Engaging facilitators, small and full-group interaction, exercise time and a blend of proven concepts and real-life experiences combine to move participants out of comfort zones and into action in the real world. We work with each client to design a series of workshops to achieve their development goals.
Facilitated Discussions
Research shows that learnings are more “sticky” if we take time to reflect on them. Facilitated group discussion is a powerful tool for stimulating reflection. Our guides and facilitator training equip your people with the tools and the confidence to drive meaningful conversations that build connection and deepen learning.
Resource Group Accelerators
Employee resource groups are often led by already-busy people with a passion for growth and connection. Our turnkey accelerator packages provide group leaders with the content, insights, techniques and materials to create the environment for rich exchange that elevates a meeting to a development experience.
Pathbuilders creates an environment of partnership and trust with their clients.
