Simply put, Cork’s excellent work to develop and implement Passport GROW leadership training and coaching is making a meaningful difference organization wide. Cork’s keen focus on the importance of “soft skills” development is noble and needed, and we’re proud to be their partners in this effort.

Madison’s coaching really challenged me to think through the process of becoming an effective corporate spokesperson. Her patience and willingness to engage intently with her clients is refreshing which made for an easy learning environment. Her approach was very thorough and developed me into a better public speaker!

Cork’s approach to leadership development is unlike anything I have experienced in my role as Chief Human Resources Officer. Our firm tried various approaches to training and coaching before we partnered with Cork – all of which felt impersonal, confusing, and as we were failing across the board. Working with Cork has been so refreshing in comparison. They have proven time and again that they care about our company, our people, and our mission and they partner with us to be our highest and best in all aspects of leadership. The encouraging, thought provoking, and timely approach Cork uses to help move leaders forward yields tangible results that have a powerful effect enterprise wide.

Cork’s training style is enthusiastic, informative and entertaining. As a result, all participants were highly engaged and learned how to better communicate their ideas, listen to others, and successfully respond to the needs of our patients, co-workers and referring physicians. Cork has exceeded all of our expectations and we will continue to utilize them for all of our on-going communications and interpersonal training needs.

Humana is an enormous organization with many different important initiatives – making communications – both internally and externally – challenging and super important. Cork helped my team and me rise above the noise with compelling stories and impactful presentations. Our work resonated like never before, and as a result my team’s confidence has grown immeasurably. Madison and her team at Cork are rockstars!

GoNoodle is the fastest growing digital media company focused on kids, providing activity based programs that are used by over 13 million kids every month. With our meteoric growth, we have been consumed with blocking and tackling, executing on our business plan, and adapting to rapid changes. Madison stepped in and learned our business quickly and felt like part of our team from day one, resulting in measurably better external communications and storytelling from the sales team through the C-suite. As Founder, I couldn’t be happier about our work with Cork.

Madison and her team have been instrumental in training and coaching our employees on the soft skills we believe are needed to succeed in today’s workplace. Employees are excited to learn how to build and nurture relationships, collaborate effectively, create and deliver meaningful presentations, and communicate better with each other and with our clients. The trainers bring a passion and professionalism to the classes that we can all emulate. You receive a lot of practical, easy-to-use tools in each class that can be put into practice right away. After you complete one class, you can’t wait to attend another one!

Appriss is a fast growing, private equity backed information services company with nearly 1,000 people globally.

Our talented team has benefited enormously from this program and its impact on them as individual contributors, managers of others, and leaders of the organization overall. We’re proud of our partnership with Cork.
