“If they don’t have opportunities to learn and there is no purpose, they are probably going to move on. And that’s part of that Great Resignation and quiet quitting that people talk about today,” saysTimHuff, President,TLG.

“I engaged with TLG about 4 years ago for my own executive coaching,” said Scott Deviney, President & CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. “We were growing very rapidly, and I was looking for my personal growth to become a level-5 leader. I was able to dive into myself and understand what would help me be a stronger leader, but also where my potential pitfalls were as a leader. For me personally, being very aware to force myself to be even more vulnerable than before has helped me become a better leader.”

“Looking back on my time with TLG over the past twenty years, it’s been a remarkable addition to my life, as a professional and somewhat as a person, and it has shaped the way I think about people in their interactions with other people. My clinical practice early on was the primary influence on how I approached coaching. And coaching has significantly altered, in some ways, the way I think about clinical practice.”

“Something I enjoy about coaching is the trusted relationships that I can build with my clients,” saysPatricia. “They gain an outlet to be able to open up to an objective party whose goal is to simply help them reach their goals and to grow. I also really like seeing people get wins as they accomplish their goals and the confidence that they can gain as a result.”

“I’ve grown up with leadership character to the point it’s a part of my DNA and how I think about leadership,” explainsBarb.
“So much so, it’s like a second language to me. You might say I speak another language like German or French; I speak leadership. The specific dialect I speak is leadership character. When people say the values that are important to them as a leader like accountability, integrity, or kindness – I will immediately dissect that and place it into the Leadership Character Model. It’s the way I frame the world as people talk about leadership and how they show up as a leader. The Leadership Character Model is a grounding framework in my life.”
