“We have enjoyed a long and impactful relationship with Kathy Pearson through our work with the Wharton Executive Education program as well as directly with ELS. Kathy and her team have been great partners in helping us design and implement custom programs that meet our immediate and long term needs. In addition to focusing on the content and learning experience we prioritize understanding the impact to our organization and ensure we have ways to measure the impact and ultimate outcomes. Most importantly the work has helped us retain our top talent and invest in our future leaders in a meaningful way. Kathy has vast experience in our industry and outside so not only does she bring credibility in being able to speak our industry language she brings a fresh perspective and new ideas from her interactions with other top clients.”

“In 2018 we hired Kathy Pearson and her firm ELS to develop and deliver an integrated development intervention for my leadership team. The purpose of the program was to enhance key strategic leadership capabilities customized to our leaders’ specific needs and also allow them the opportunity to apply these skills to our business unit. Kathy and her firm expertly managed the entire project which involved many complex components, including content selection, overall design of a multi-modular intervention, external company visits/learning journeys, and action learning. ELS secured an external site visit that gave our leadership team the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas/best practices with organizations outside our industry through learning journey visits. Faculty provided mentoring for internal action learning groups. The impact for the team has been seen through improved brand and business planning processes along with holding each other aware/accountable in decision making assumptions. The content, learning, and quality of the courses was excellent. The fun learning environment was what kept engagement high and what separated the learning from other similar course content.”
