CORK DELIVERS

Organizations that invest in talent development see an increase in performance by up to 7x.
-PWC and Deloitte
Leadership matters – whether it’s applied to oneself, others, or an entire organization. And leaders are made, not born. Effective leaders develop many skills, but tops among them are superior interpersonal and communication skills, to complement strong technical skills. We call these 21st Century Leadership Skills™. But don’t just take our word for it. Google’s internal Project Oxygen discovered that the “top seven characteristics of successful leaders at Google are all soft skills, including communication and emotional intelligence.”
To that end, Cork develops actionable, engaging, and tailored talent development programs, delivered principally via virtual group facilitations and executive coaching.
Our core areas of focus include…
WHY WORK WITH US
Learn how to navigate rapidly changing environments
Globalization, regulatory change, the rise and influence of social media, and dynamic competition are just a few of the complex challenges for institutions and their leaders to navigate. We specialize in developing ongoing talent development plans for organizations big and small.
Ongoing talent development is essential to success
Traditional education focuses on developing a technically proficient workforce. Unfortunately, it largely fails to prepare people to excel in other important areas that impact results, including leadership development, relationship building, emotional intelligence, effective communication, storytelling, and presentation skills. Organizations that invest in developing these important competencies outperform peers by seven times – producing a significant return on investment.
Save time and resources
While most organizations understand the value of talent development, they often underinvest because it’s time consuming and challenging to administer in-house. Cork Leadership provides turnkey programs specific to each organization. Our Cork Certified™ trainers and coaches are subject matter experts and our sessions and materials are actionable, engaging, and research-based.
