    BROADSWORD Leadership provides executive advising and coaching that recognizes a leader's most powerful tool – who he or she is. Through BROADSWORD’s executive advising approach of focused one-on-one sessions, we enhance an executive's strategic vision, interpersonal and communication skills, ability to drive organizational change, and manage risk – all designed to propel performance to the highest levels.

    Leadership development recognizes that leadership is a journey, not a destination. BROADSWORD's approach assists leaders at all levels navigate their personal leadership journey by focusing first on self-leadership, with an emphasis on the power of reflection; addressing new and unfamiliar situations; leading teams; and developing the next generation of leaders.

    People will give you an honest effort because they have to; they will give you their fullest effort when they are truly "with you." Igniting that reservoir of "intellectual capital" is what sets highly successful leaders apart. BROADSWORD's “town hall” engagements deliver motivation that focuses on an organization's competitive advantage – its people – through interactive sessions to build a winning culture.
