Lead Boldly is designed around your team's specific needs.
We engage leaders and participants in the curriculum-development process from the beginning, ensuring that the material is directly relevant and specific to participants’ work – and that they complete the program knowing themselves, team, and role more clearly. The program also offers one-on-one and group coaching to ensure new skills are retained and integrated into the participants’ work.
What People Are Saying
The program that WB Consulting created was thoughtfully curated to our organization’s specific needs. Sessions were connected with repeating themes and presented in an interactive, skill-building manner. This program has been more successful than I dared to dream, as staffers immediately reported on the benefits to themselves and to others throughout our organization. They learned the ‘why’ along with the ‘how-to’ and in the process are stronger leaders of our work culture.

“As someone who has never had any direct reports, I found it very informative. Instead of someday having to learn the hard way, I was able to learn in a comfortable environment. I found these trainings to be very helpful and I would love to continue them if given the opportunity. Whitney did an amazing job at choosing people to come speak to us, but she also was amazing with explaining things in a way we could understand. It is one thing to find someone knowledgeable on a topic, but finding someone who is able to convey a concept to an audience in a way that they can understand is something else entirely. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn from Whitney and all the great people she brought in to speak with us.”
