How the Predictable Promotion® is Implemented
We work with our clients in a variety of ways through corporate consulting, executive coaching, professional development programs, and our public speaking series.
Corporate Clients
Executive Coaching:
We work with senior management and top talent executives to develop the succession pipeline and make sure that career promotion candidates are fully prepared, positioned, and trained for higher level leadership responsibility and accountability. Upon completion of coaching they are ready to hit the ground running.
Corporate Consulting:
We review your organization’s leadership competencies and assess them against an overlay of our core Predictable Promotion® competencies. In that way we diagnose any specific leadership gaps that represent opportunities to fine-tune your organizational talent pipeline. That also reveals where to most effectively boost the equity of human capital while retaining top talent and accelerating their careers. We also help evaluate your talent triage through an objective perspective with a wealth of knowledge and insight. In that way, you can more readily determine which high performers will make it to the next level with minimal leadership development. The second tier is identifying leaders who will possess those leadership capabilities if they receive targeted development. Thirdly, we help identify ineffective leaders detrimental to performance and productivity.
Company Leadership Professional Development:
We provide high impact programs for leaders and high potentials, and these seminars focus on practical, critical business challenges faced by those promoted to higher levels. The program covers leadership mindset and vision; inclusive leadership style; influential and inspirational executive communication; building of powerfully sustainable rapport; and effective team design for greater innovation and collaboration. Sarah Hathorn is also available as a guest speaker within your own professional development programs, and provides that service for many Fortune 500s and their leadership.
Keynote Speaker:
Sarah Hathorn is also available for keynote speeches and break-out sessions for large organizations and trade association conferences. She is in high demand as an inspiring, engaging, energetic and thought-provoking presenter. Audiences come away from her events with actionable solutions and new tools and resources for overcoming their challenges while discovering otherwise unseen opportunities of value to themselves and those they lead. An active member of the National Speakers Association, Sarah constantly travels and speaks throughout the world…and has captivated audiences across the United States as well as in Japan, Australia, Singapore and Mexico.
