Communicate leadership and Professional Development strategies to senior leaders and key customers to gain feedback and buy-in. Modify the strategies based on feedback.
Programming

Deliver leadership/Professional Development programs, coaching programs and comprehensive evaluation strategies aligned to key metrics that help our leaders and individual contributors develop and grow.
Stakeholder Management

Influence how our senior leaders view the role that leadership and Professional Development play in executing GM’s business strategy and how that translates into development initiatives.
Coach and support senior leaders in addressing team-related issues and opportunities.
