Celebrating Success: Stories of Transformation

Feedback from Leading For Success© (LFS), Our Leader Development Program

Our Programs & the Company

“I would love for everyone to have the chance to go through this program”
“I cannot believe how much I got out of these sessions . . . The combination of my peer's openness and the coaching and guidance from the Connected Approach team really allowed me to get so much more than I could have imagined out of those three days.”
“I have always found that being emotionally intelligent is crucial. . . [and being] taught that there's so much more to it - leading yourself is just as important to leading others as leading circumstances all while doing it positively!”

Connected Approach Partners

Authenticity. Empathy. Curiosity.

As we coach, partner with, and advise leaders, we realize that the most effective leaders share three key traits:

1) authentic to their “true selves”

2) empathetic to others

3) curious to the circumstances

In observing these qualities, we understand that each of these leaders possess and exhibit a curated “leader approach” – a positive mindset about who they are, and must be, to themselves, others, and the circumstances.  That is why we developed our Leader Approach Model© (or LAM) with elements that include and require authenticity, empathy and curiosity.
