Organizations say that “having strong leadership skills” is one of the highest priorities when it comes to choosing new managers. Yet a Harvard Review study shows that, on average, most companies train their managers 9 years after they’ve been promoted. No wonder 38% of new leaders outright fail in the first 18 months!

Through her own 25-year leadership journey and ongoing research, Colleen Hauk, Founder and CEO of The Corporate Refinery, has created a unique framework, the “5-Star LeaderTM”, that will help you become the confident, effective leader you were meant to be. You’ll discover how to transform yourself while striking the balance between people and results; master the methodologies for communication, engagement and development; and unlock the power of your network to keep your career on a consistent, upward trajectory. Be prepared to be inspired and empowered to continue taking your leadership to the next level!
