As leaders pivot from managing to leading, they have to think about their leadership differently. Signature Select helps them see new paths to growth and prepares them to succeed on their journey.
Prospective Candidates
Ideal candidates for our professional development program have reached the critical point where they must pivot from doing and achieving to leading and influencing their organization. They are typically managing teams and have titles such as Director, Senior Manager, or Manager with fast-track potential to the next level.
Peer-to-Peer Experience
Participants are invited to 3 days of an immersive professional development program taught by executive role models from Signature Select. They join a peer group of multi-discipline, cross-industry leaders from around the world in candid group discussions, one-on-ones, panel sessions, and networking dinners. An invitation from an executive sponsor and post-session calls with executive faculty are used to recognize these participants as key future leaders.

I can honestly say this was the best program I have attended! The materials and activities were very relevant and extremely insightful. I enjoyed meeting the other participants and realizing that we all are faced with many of the same challenges in both our professional and personal lives. We all shared our experiences and what "tips" and "tricks" we have used to work through situations. I feel a renewed sense of direction and focus; I look forward to continued learning within this wonderful network of amazing professionals.

I needed the pointers and guidance to see that it is not always the BIG things that need to change but that a few small changes can have a big impact. Every single topic was so appropriate and applicable to my personal development. I met some amazing people and cannot remember when last I laughed as much. As predicted it has given me the fresh energy that was so needed and missing. Now I will make the necessary changes to be true to myself.

I love how Signature keeps everything positive and helps us focus on the choices each of us has. External factors will always push at us, but I have a new sense of calm and less stress when dealing with obstacles. There is power in owning your position. I’d rather fight for ideas to move the company forward than fight to get my voice heard.
