Jay helped me to identify and appreciate my innate core strengths and work to play to those strengths instead of focusing on trying to improve my weaker qualities.
The coursework, coupled with Jays ability to challenge my perceptions, has helped me develop a more refined and connected view of who I am and how to best interact with others to get the best from each situation. This has been invaluable not only in my professional life but also at home with my wife and kids.
I have always enjoyed taking assessments and analyzing the results, however, this program took it to a whole new level. Once a week over a 6 month period, I worked directly with a coach who gave me weekly assignments to apply different techniques. The focus was always about applying my strengths – not focusing on my weaknesses. The real life application made all the difference. I am also pleased with how the course improved the understanding amongst our leadership team and opened up conversations about each of our styles and why we act and communicate the way we do. Thank you for leading our company in the right direction!
Having the benefit of a long career on the "client" side building business and on the "agency" side building brands and global market share, I have been involved in countless programs designed to elevate individual and team performance. The Leadership Development Program from Ally Business Coaching is simply one of the best I have ever experienced. What sets it apart is the breadth of practical knowledge to elevate leadership skills and the easily manageable program cadence. The 26-week format allows the participate to truly internalize, apply and create new lasting habits which build capabilities and confidence. The team at Ally are exceedingly gifted at engaging you and validating your comprehension. Beyond the regular sessions, your coach is available for follow-up and problem-solving should the need arise. I would (and have) recommended this program to colleagues and business associates who are looking to add to their own toolbox, as well as grow the next level of leaders in their organization. The insights and skills gained are well worth the investment.
I have been through a lot of leadership training in my life, some of which I did not see the value in but always kept an open mind, The leadership training with Ally business coaching was top notch, learned a lot about myself and have been able to use what I have learned immediately in my day to day life. I looked forward to my time with my coach and always felt that I had learned something after every session. The process is very easy to fit in to a busy lifestyle and well worth every minute. My hats off to this group and I am proud to say that I was given the opportunity to better my leadership skills, lessons learned from true professionals at what they do!
I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed and more importantly learned and understand more about myself and how I can best add to my Leadership role for our company. Jay and Kim are amazing people with huge insight personally and professionally. I looked forward to our weekly calls and really was sad when it was over. I will continue to reflect and work on my strengths as a Leader thanks to Jay and Kim. Outstanding!!!
Knowing more about yourself is the first step to understanding how to interact in both the personal and business environment. The Leadership Development Course delivers amazing results that provide you with the opportunity to learn more about yourself and then being able to apply what you learned in your work environment and maybe even apply what you learn at home! The approach of one hour one on one coaching sessions with a little “homework” each week over the twenty-six weeks of the course, is exactly what most of us can manage. Limited impact with your work commitments with maximum impact on your ability to implement. Regardless of your industry or the role you have in your organization, you need to check this out. I am a believer.
We have worked with Jay and Ally Business Coaching for several years and wish we would have done it sooner. We have had many staff is all areas of our business go thru the program. It has improved lives inside the business and personally as well. This is not something you go thru and forget...... this is instilled with in each of us forever. I would recommend this to any company or individual if you are wanting to change your lives forever!
