About

It was about five years ago that I recognized key issues that limited almost every leadership development and coaching program I had witnessed – programs I saw dozens of other trainers running, and programs that I was running as a seasoned Executive Coach at 5.12 Solutions – a leadership development firm that I founded almost 20 years ago in Boulder, Colorado.

  • Leaders were constrained by old style workbooks. Not that workbooks were bad – but as a toolset, they were never available where and when a leader needed them most. Workbooks weren’t fulfilling the “just in time” need that leaders have in their fast-changing, high-tech work environment.
  • Discipline and accountability were hard to maintain. We’ve all seen the paper-based action plans in coaching and leadership development programs. They are well intended. But, they are put on a shelf and almost never reviewed and revisited. Unfortunately, most action plans are also rarely calibrated with a coachee’s manager to ensure the learning process is aligned with business needs.
  • Tracking and reporting outcomes were difficult to measure. Most trainers utilize the typical workshop evaluations, commonly referred to as “smiley sheets”, at the end of a workshop or coaching session.  But measuring and understanding actual behavior change created as a result of a training or coaching engagement was almost non-existent.

Sparked from our desire to innovate, we set out to create a coaching assessment tool that goes beyond traditional leadership programs to build in accountability, transparency and measurement.  What I didn’t know, and could never have imaged, was that the solution would take me on a path that has challenged the status quo in leadership training and pushed me to new heights as a leadership coach.
