The Conversant team is authentic, guiding us by example. They ARE what they are asking us to be, and they DO what they are asking us to do.
The Emerging Leader program was great. Every meeting we had, I left feeling refreshed and motivated for my day. The structure was extremely valuable. It was helpful to have the forum to speak with others facing the same challenges as myself.
The CII Program changed my entire field of vision, providing me an invaluable foundation from which to support my team in building their connection and partnership with each other so as to collaborate effectively in solving much larger, more complex problems, and achieve much greater impact for our mission.

Learning alongside peers helped me realize that leadership challenges are shared; and there’s so much value in seeing how others navigate them.
The coach staff was amazing. You can tell they are there for you and want you to take the most out of the training.
We help you navigate challenges and offer new perspectives.
