It's high summer in this part of the world... Hope this is a rejuvenating season for you! Thanks to the following for recent GreenLeaf Projects: Welcome! to Mermet and Greenville Hospital System (GHS), the newest GreenLeaf clients. Our 11th LDP! Bausch & Lomb leaders from around the world participated in the July 2008 Leadership Development Program in Oxford, England. It was a pleasure working together! We look forward to our 12th LDP in October. Gracious feedback... "We hired Cynthia Radford through GreenLeaf Consulting to assist us in rallying two very distinct teams within our company together around a high profile business objective. Cynthia did an amazing job of getting all the information she needed up front about our company, the culture and our pressing business needs. Cynthia utilized this information throughout our session to make our HBDI session very personalized and focused on our company's and teams' objectives versus just feeling like we were in a training class. The skills and tools we took away from that session are still be used amongst the teams' and its been a year and a half since the session. Cynthia is an amazing facilitor, planful and impeccably prepared. I will use her services again and again to bring teams together and get them to move their individual differences aside so that they can move the business forward together." ~ Tawni Cranz, Director of HR, Netflix Inc., Beverly Hills, California (Client list & more comments) Must-Read Recommendation: A Leader's Legacy by Jim Kouzes & Barry Posner (a collection of relevant and insightful essays grouped into four categories: Significance, Relationships, Aspirations, and Courage) By asking ourselves how we want to be remembered, we plant the seeds for living our lives as if we matter...
