Celebrating Success: Stories of Transformation

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

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.

Your coaching inspires me to be my best self through your thought-provoking questions.  You are there, not to judge, but to walk the journey with me.  Through our process, you have helped me become a better version of myself – acknowledging and respecting all that I am.
