Connecting the concepts of emotional and cultural intelligence, Springboard understands that today’s most influential and innovative leaders are both collaborative and inclusive in their approach to leading teams and organizations.
“Springboard coaches were valuable to me because they have faced similar challenges as senior managers. I could run through scenarios and gain a perspective unavailable from most coaches. They helped me develop more effective options for the way I manage my team.”
