In todays economy, more and more employees are leaving their organisations because of a lack of leadership and career development.
Our virtual leadership and career development program works well with individuals who are high potential employees who are looking to grow to the next level and potentially want to move into a leadership position with their company.
At GeoBlue, their CEO and leadership team really value the development of their employees and are making the investment to take their employees to the next level.
Our leadership and career development program has three primary components. In the first component, every employee takes a leadership assessment. That leadership assessment identifies gaps in behavior competencies.
In the second part of that is they are assigned to a personal coach. Over the course of six months, that employee will meet monthly with their coach and work on those behavior competencies that are going to help them accelerate to their next level.
Finally, the program is completely virtual. Employees can log into the career management system whenever it’s convenient for them and they can schedule their monthly calls with their coach when it fits their schedule.
“I think that the improvement that I made does not stop within the company’s building. It’s not only making me a better employee, I think it also makes me a better father, a better husband, too. I really feel that it’s proven to not only benefit me professionally, it also benefited me personally.”

“I’m just thrilled that we were able to develop this partnership with Careerminds. They’ve been terrific in customising things with us to meet our needs and they didn’t come in with kind of a cookie-cutter approach to development. And even next time we’re doing things a little bit differently, because you learn as you go, they bring a lot of the ideas, we listen, we tweak, we bounce it past them, and it comes together. It’s been a pleasure.
We’ve worked with a lot of vendors and they’re really at the top of the list. And that’s what it’s about – when you have a medium sized company without tons of resources, you have to find the right partners and Careerminds is that right partner for us. And we’ll continue our work.
