Pipeline Learning & Personal Growth

Organizations grow and transform when their people are doing the same. In fact, change is all about people who share an organization's desire and ability to do amazing things and have an impact on the world. Personal success must be connected to the organization's success for both to win. Pipeline Learning & Personal Growth is about having a transformative development experience that serves both the individual and her or his sponsoring organization.

For Participants: No one succeeds in life or at work without well-timed development and guidance to get you there.


In our work with every kind of organization, we hear a near-unanimous frustration from both executives and emerging leaders like you: how can I grow my people/career here? What is it going to take to advance? Can I have satisfaction at work and happiness outside of it, too?

Both sides want the same thing: for you to succeed. Because when you do, the organization does, too. But it is not always that simple and cookie-cutter training and development does not always address YOUR specific developmental needs or tell you WHAT TO DO.

Our mission at Pipeline is to enable change, transformation and growth.

Pipeline Learning was created as a customized but cost effective development experience to help mid-career professionals who want to change, transform and grow. It is for people with the potential to grow and who want to gain the skills and edge to do it while having a satisfying life outside of work at the same time.

For Organizations: An investment in an emerging leader is one that will pay off for years to come.

In our experience with high performing organizations, we confront a near-unanimous dilemma: leaders grapple with how to get their highest potential talent to the next level in a way that is both customized and cost effective. A "cookie cutter" approach is too often not effective at addressing specific needs within a high growth ecosystem. Yet one-on-one coaching can be an expensive "hit and miss" experiment. Let's face it: Even some of your most promising talent needs the self-awareness and targeted development to realize the potential the organization needs from them.

Our mission at Pipeline is to enable change, transformation and growth.

Pipeline Learning & Personal Growth was created as a solution for organizations that need a customized but cost effective development solutions to help individuals change, transform and grow so their companies can, too. Our approach is to increase self-awareness, build proven success skills and create and sustain a personal plan to leverage strengths and overcome derailers once and for all.

Emerging leaders are those promising leaders in an organization who are at a crucial tipping point in his or her career. We ask ourselves: how do we provide them the development they need to address subtle issues that are holding them back and be able to successfully take on even more?
