WHY Swivel

Leadership is Influence... and anyone can be influential. That’s why we believe in A Leader in Every Chair™. The fastest way to get A Leader in Every Chair®? Through the managers responsible for them!

Managing and leading humans is the toughest role in any organization today. Managers exist to keep productivity moving and engagement high for your organization. That’s the job. Full Stop.

Today’s managers need to move or “SWIVEL”, between managing the work (productivity) and keeping employees engaged in the work. Organizations have struggled to find a comprehensive solution that teaches, coaches, and develops Managers to do both well... until now.

SwivelIS...

More than a course. Swivel is a comprehensive development system designed to turn learning into lasting leadership habits.

Swivel offers Managers:

  • actionable lessons explored methodically over a 12-week series
  • comprehensive self & 360 assessments across 6 Essential Dimensions, plus report with development recommendations
  • live practice within a community of other managers
  • live group coaching to help participants resolve their own productivity or engagement challenges
  • live webinars to enhance career and life skills
  • a library of digital downloadable tools, templates, activities, and best practices.

Swivel IS FOR
Experienced People Managers

I avoid giving tough feedback because it always goes badly.

I’ve been doing this for years, but it still feels like I’m winging it.

I spend most of my time putting out fires instead of building the team.

New People Managers

I’m now leading people who used to be my peers. I’m nervous about that.

How do I give feedback without hurting someone’s feelings?

I don’t want to micromanage, but if I don’t check in, will things fall apart?

Swivel SUCCESS STORIES

I learned to be more intentional with how I delegated tasks according to what my team’s strengths were and what areas they wanted to grow in. My confidence has grown significantly. 

Rachel R.

It’s ok to manage people differently based on their personality traits and work skills. 

Steve S.

Being able to understand all sides of a situation and think more critically has been a big area where I have seen my leadership skills improve. 

Becky S.

A great guidance to growing as a leader.  

Nick W.

Swivel has been an incredibly valuable learning experience. It provides practical tools and strategies that help managers improve their leadership skills and develop their teams effectively. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their ability to lead and support employees.

William G.

The Swivel program gave me a practical framework to strengthen my role as a leader, directly supporting my goal of fostering a collaborative, high-performing team. The situational leadership feedback offered clear, unbiased insights that are helping me grow as a trusted and supportive leader. I also really valued the chance to connect with colleagues across departments and gain a broader perspective.

Matthew S.

Swivel is exceptionally well-structured and thoughtfully designed. Its systematic approach and practical applications make it highly effective and relevant. I highly recommended it!

Ginger X.

The Swivel program was very valuable.  The breakout sessions were very helpful.  Sharing experiences with each other was also very valuable.

Robyn M.

Best leadership program I have taken throughout my 40yr career! For me one of the most valuable asset in the Swivel Program was having an armchair coach to ask questions about current management issues and getting coached on how to properly handle them. All people leaders should be required to take this course. 

Doug P.

Swivel is a great tool for leaders to adapt in the new world were living in and also change their approach on certain topics. It has given me the ability to discuss and guide my team through times of change. I gave me the opportunity to improve my leadership skills, coaching skills, and mentoring skills. I can better support the change happening within our organization and industry. 

Larry E.

Most of the topics covered in Swivel are not foreign to the type of employees the program attracts.  I think what Swivel does well is to hone in on the importance of these topics and deep-dive into the importance of leadership across these topics.  Leadership is not something to be taken for granted, and the way you lead has a major role in the quality of your team, and your organization.

Glenn R.

Keep on the move, and open your eyes and your ears, and watch, learn and change for better.

Javier B.

The Swivel leadership program has been a transformative experience, significantly enhancing my leadership skills and professional growth. The program's practical approach, including interactive workshops and hands-on projects, has equipped me with the tools to excel in my role. The mentorship from experienced leaders and the collaborative environment have been invaluable, providing personalized feedback and a strong professional network. I highly recommend the Swivel leadership program to anyone looking to elevate their leadership capabilities and make a meaningful impact in their career.

Shivam S.

I came into this Swivel training with no prior leadership training. I was blown away by how practical, insightful, and empowering the content was. The training not only gave me the tools to lead effectively, but also the confidence to apply them right away. I've learned how to communicate more clearly, manage conflict, and motivate my team in ways I never thought possible. This program has truly transformed the way I see myself as a leader. I can't recommend it enough!

Jennifer K.

Swivel gave me tools and confidence to move into the next level of my career. Reaching the goals of the leader I want to become, helping my peers and team members be successful in their roles. I often wondered some of the decisions I should take and/or would this benefit them in a positive way, I don't have to wonder anymore.  Looking forward to being a top leader that will inspire, help others grow in our fast-paced environment.

Emanuel R.

Swivel will make you realize that there are 50 different ways to be a manager.  You need to read and digest every page, because there are nuggets everywhere.

Sean F.

Swivel was a great program to both teach this old dog some new tricks and reinforce the mangerial learnings of my 40 years in industry.  The content is current and relevent is a great stepping stone regardless of your managerial level.

Bill A.

KKL is practical, thoughtful, and her coaching changed the way I interact with my employees. Thank you!

Joan S.

It's solid and practical advice on how to become a better manager/leader.  I'm sure many people think this is intuitive but when you get into it you see that that's not necessarily the case.
