Our Coach has worked with us over several years and they continue to exceed my expectations. He has worked effectively with all types of executives and helps bring out the best in them. He has a unique open style which makes people comfortable and gets them to really think hard on what they need to do to become better managers and leaders and, to a great extent better people. He’s thoughtful and serious with a light touch when required. Most importantly, he cares and those he works with know it.

Our EngagedLeadership Coach has been a dream. His coaching is direct and insightful, yet very empathetic. His insights into leading at the executive level were very valuable in supporting my transition into a new and challenging role. I can’t imagine a better coaching combination for someone leading at a senior role.

Our Coach makes effective communication seem like a natural art form. He has the ability to communicate effectively in any situation whether it’s friendly or confrontational. I have taken pages of notes trying to emulate our Coach’s talent for communicating.

The Engaged Leadership team were excellent thought partners when it came time to launch our very first coaching cohort program for senior leaders. The team is easy to work with, extremely collaborative, and always kept an open line of communication with us as we crossed major program milestones across our entire engagement with them. They have a very robust group of coaches and a unique approach to 360s that goes much deeper in gathering specific feedback than most other 360 assessment tools out there. I would highly recommend their services to any company thinking of launching a coaching program. By the end of our engagement, we had supported and developed our leaders, had insights into future development themes to focus on and had our leaders asking for more!

Great content & coach. Coach Justin Harris was wonderful to work with! He took time to understand our team’s culture, and felt really like an extension of our team while he was with us. The content of the trainings were very useful for our team. I loved the flow of the sessions, and the trainings were relevant and felt customized to our needs.

I met my EngagedLeadership Coach shortly after I was promoted to the role of President at Kabam. In our first session, I was struck by his passion, energy, and enthusiasm; all of which is awe-inspiring and infectious. Over the next 12 months, our work together was transformative. I have gained a very clear understanding of my personal and professional strengths and weaknesses. I have access to a substantially expanded tool kit of battle tested leadership strategies and tactics. I also have expanded confidence in my ability to own and drive results to maximum scale. In short, I look back on my time with my coach and question why I didn’t sign up to work with him sooner.

My EngagedLeadership Coach seems to have a natural gift to bring out the best in people. Our conversations are rich in content and deeply thought provoking. I have found myself growing in ways that I did not think possible. He has proven to be a trusted, respected, and insightful mentor for me in areas of personal growth and leadership development. I enthusiastically looked forward to our interactions & feel that I walk away from these conversations knowing myself more thoroughly and being prepared to lead more effectively. My Coach  has achieved “speed dial” status on my trusted advisers list!

Engaged Leadership created a youth leadership training for underserved high school students at one of our partner schools. Our work together was a true collaboration, and centered on the skills our youth need to become leaders in their school community. Engaged Leadership was introduced to us by one of our corporate partners and they instantly got excited about providing key elements of their training program to high school students. For the last two years, Engaged Leadership has invested time and expertise in our students at no cost, bringing their leadership development expertise to South LA teens. Melanie and her team are outstanding, responsive and in tune with the skills our youth need to work in teams, communicate effectively and problem-solve. We started the partnership during the pandemic and all the initial programs were conducted on Zoom. Nevertheless, the students gained a great deal and the partnership is now continuing with both virtual and in-person sessions. This is a wonderful program and team, and we feel very grateful that our students are receiving the same expert training as successful household name companies!

Best-in-class training partner offering experienced and enthusiastic support each step of the way. Engaged Leadership is an organized, professional and experienced partner and that is reflected in every aspect of the work they do. Their out-of-box Emerging Leadership program is well thought out, from the topics included, to the materials presented and provided. We received positive feedback from our attendees who ended the course feeling prepared and engaged to manage their teams. Emerging Leadership partnered with us to customize our Executive Coaching approach, providing a selection of coaches for employees to select from to ensure compatibility. As the team has become more familiar with our company’s profile and people, they’ve provided thoughtful recommendations and have continued to work with us to hone in our offerings to ensure continued success. Every representative of the company has been professional and enthusiastic about offering best-in-class services to our employees. We look forward to growing this relationship for years to come.

Zen and the art of management — Larry’s coaching has left an indelible mark on my work. He listens, he cares, he provides deep and meaningful feedback, and concrete ways to “up your game.” If you’re the type of person who doesn’t like to be challenged, Larry isn’t for you. But, if you’re the type of person who is intensely curious about honing leadership qualities that extend beyond the boardroom and your directly managed team, then Larry is your coach.

My EngagedLeadership Coach was instrumental to my professional development as a leader. Traits that set her apart from other Coaches I’ve interacted with are: (a) high EQ and gauge of company and organizational culture (b) understanding of self-awareness and energy management (c) valuing cultural differences and adapting communication styles to both the coached employee and the organization. She was able to learn the leadership styles of my peers and upper management and crystalize how to effectively communicate with these stakeholders. In parallel, she invested time in understanding my team’s needs a d work/communication styles, helping me in managing both up, down and laterally.

Working with EngagedLeadership felt like having an invested partner in our leadership goals. In working with EngagedLeadership, we felt we had found a true partner who was as invested as we were in the project and who genuinely connected with our employees. They went above and beyond to meet us where were for a leadership development program, investing substantial time in getting to know our company, culture, and leadership needs. They tailored materials to fit our brand and framework and provided the utmost flexibility in scheduling and structuring the program. They matched us with a facilitator who we couldn’t have been happier with. He adapted facilitation to fit our company culture and did so in a way that personally resonated with participants. Feedback from our participating leaders was overwhelmingly positive!

Highly impactful executive coaching resource. Engaged Leadership has many resources for leadership development, all of which are highly customized to solve the situation at hand. I have the most experience with their individual executive coaching resources and really appreciate their thoughtful approach to providing the right coach for each particular client, and the fact that they offer a variety of packages since not every person requires the same exact duration or depth. They provide a spectrum of options and have partnered with me over the years to find the right one for each and every executive.

Look no further when it comes to leadership training/development. Well I think first off it starts with the people, and for me/us that means Melanie and Shannon. They are such a pleasure to work with. I’ve had the opportunity to work with them for the past 4 years and I can honestly say it becomes more and more pleasurable. They have an uncanny ability to read your mind and lay out what you’re thinking. They can take half of your idea and turn it into a fully baked out program. They do all of this with the utmost professionalism while also displaying an easy bedside manner which just makes the process that much easier. I also love and appreciate their flexibility and patience. It’s never a hard sell and they will work around your schedule every time. I can’t imagine working with anyone else when it comes to leadership programs!

Unlocking Excellence: A Transformative Leadership Skills Training Experience. Our Operations and Executive Teams recently had the privilege of participating in a leadership skills training program offered by Engaged Leadership, and I cannot express how profoundly it has impacted our personal growth as leaders. Engaged Leadership stands head and shoulders above the rest. Our coach Michael Ian Cedar shared his wealth of real-world experience and knowledge, making every session engaging, informative, and inspiring. Engaged Leadership skills training program exceeded our expectations in every way, equipping us with the tools and confidence to excel as leaders. They are, without a doubt, the gold standard in leadership training.

Engaged Leadership has been an incredible partner, seamlessly connecting expertise to individuals receiving coaching and driving impactful growth. Our experience with Engaged Leadership has been outstanding. While providing quality coaches with a wealth of expertise and insights, they have shown nothing but professionalism, flexibility, and genuine commitment to our success that has made the entire coaching process seamless, highly impactful, and enjoyable. No challenges to date.

THANK YOU! Engaged Leadership has helped us to be more efficient by streamlining some of our processes. It has made a massive contribution towards improving communication between our team members and helped us to build a greater sense of cohesiveness in our people. This has translated to a more positive, productive, and happy work environment!

A solid foundation for our leadership development efforts. We’ve partnered with Engaged Leadership to launch a substantial leadership development effort, and the experience has been outstanding. They’ve helped us establish a clearly defined development path, and the impact has been immediate and meaningful. No challenges.

Amazing Coaches. I’ve worked with EngagedLeadership at a couple of different companies over the years. Larry Seal and Melanie Bernstein have built a great company! Whether it’s executive coaching or other leadership training, they collaborate to ensure their client’s needs are being met so their sessions can have the greatest impact. I would highly recommend them to any organization that wants to develop their leaders and create a high performing culture.

Very professional and a great support for our business! We have worked with EngagedLeadership for our company twice now and we have really enjoyed the experiences. The coaches have been very responsive and proactive in updating us about our employees’ progress. We have also seen a lot of growth in some of our employees and will definitely work with them again if coaching is needed! The challenges we have faced have been with our employees cooperation and participation, not with the program. Thank you!

True partnership between client and vendor! Our favorite part about working with EngagedLeadership was Dr. Samuel Jones, our speaker for our Leadership Seminar. He was exactly what we needed in April of 2023. Our team members rated Dr. Jones 5 out of 5 and shared that he was very engaging, amazing, and relevant. They listened to our feedback and created an amazing experience specific for our Leadership Seminar!

Leadership development that is life changing. The EngagedLeadership Leadership Mastery Series is transformational! The training and development workshops and continued coaching provided me with some critical areas of my leadership style that I wanted to improve. It also provided me with best practices to develop my skills in Maximizing Group Productivity with Improved Delegation Skills, Working Effectively with Conflict, and serving as a player-coach (Leader as Coach). People leaders I’ve worked with from previous organizations that participated in the Leadership Mastery Series as far back as 2016 still talk about how empowering and positively impactful their learning experience was and that they refer back to best practices from the series daily. I have brought EngagedLeadership programs with me to every possible client and employer I’ve worked with since 2016, and I couldn’t be more proud to call their coaches and founders my mentors and friends. They are flexible and reasonably priced. EngagedLeadership programs’ ROI is backed by feedback from past and current clients.
