We are influencers of change and leadership growth facilitators

Training is for dogs. GROWTH is for leaders. At HRD, we are on a mission to improve the world, one leader at a time. We believe that the improvement of a leader comes from within, through personal development from experiencing a growth journey to change, rather than skills to be obtained through training courses. Every single leader comes to your business with their own past experiences, values, fears, and desires. To improve their mindset, to want to change, to grow, and to be the best leader they can be, they must be supported and understood as an individual. This is where we differ from other leadership training and development companies. We are not coaches or trainers. We are change influencers.

88% of leaders improve in at least one of their focused behaviors.

Cohorts average 100% improvement in all practice areas of The Leadership Challenge.

Participants average 44% improvement in leadership confidence and competence in Manager Essentials.

We are strategic designers

At HRD, we know that every client need is different and that no leader is the same, so we collaborate with you to design and facilitate inspiring and practical leadership growth experiences that are tailored to strengthen your leaders and elevate your business strategy.

Each of our facilitators and coaches brings a strength or certification in the areas of executive coaching, leadership development and facilitation, succession planning, strategic planning, and diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.

Our proven leadership growth experiences, or signature solutions, are tailored to your overall team, the leaders on your team, and your goals. We believe in the highest quality service; therefore, every experience is measured at various points for success using methods such as:

Pre- and post-assessment looking at group and individual focus area progress
Post-session survey data
Participant retention
Promotability/promotion data
Team assessment – pre- and post-data
Engagement/Pulse data

We are Lesson Curators

Great leadership isn’t learned through lectures—it’s experienced. We design interactive, thought-provoking workshops that engage leaders at every level, turning insights into action. Every session we create is tailored to inspire, challenge, and equip participants with the skills they need to lead with confidence.

But real learning only happens in a space where people feel safe to speak, experiment, and grow. That’s why we cultivate an atmosphere of psychological safety, ensuring that every participant can engage fully, take risks, and discover new perspectives without fear of judgment.

Our workshops don’t just deliver content—they spark transformation.

We are keynote speakers

Our leadership mission expands throughout our leader community, and so, we share our expertise by connecting with as many leaders as we can. Our speakers have inspired and motivated employers and leaders globally. A key change element among the improved change and development of all leaders is empowerment, and therefore, we speak upon topics which empower each leader on your team!
