Red and orange rocks

About

The Catalyst and Leading@ CUNA Mutual Group programs are fully custom-designed solutions delivering targeted business outcomes for selected senior vice president, director, and manager populations. They offer transformative learning journeys of self-discovery, shaping mindsets and developing the skills and abilities required to drive the business into the future.

CATALYST objectives:

  • enhance self-awareness
  • amplify leadership reach and impact
  • apply new insights and skills through immersive, transformational learning experiences
  • identify commitments and construct an accountability ecosystem

Leading@ objectives:

  • provide leaders with the skills to empower their people
  • create an inclusive environment with growth opportunities and recognition
  • foster adaptivity and lead with integrity

The solutions combine powerful, multi-modular, face-to-face and virtual blended leadership development modules. This includes horizontal/peer networking and real business projects with exposure to vertical/senior leadership. Participants are challenged to nurture deeper self-awareness and a collaborative, innovative, agile and growth mindset. Strong emphasis is placed on feedback, experiential learning and networking.

The development programs were all successfully delivered virtually throughout 2020-21 and are now back to their original blended design.

The programs have supported a cultural shift towards enterprise leadership and created an environment of agency and inclusion. Many promotions are attributed to the value of the programs, including participants who now answer directly to the CEO.

“I learned a lot about myself as a person. All of which helps me to be a better mom, better spouse and better leader.”

"The success of the Emerging Leaders Programme has exceeded my expectations. The content is relevant, the selection process is rigorous - and it delivers. We are seeing a clear increase in leadership capability within this talent population. This is now coming to fruition as we see more and more individuals who attend the programme going on to take on more demanding roles - be that within their current level or to more senior roles. The programme is recognised by our Executive Team as talent enabler."

"Focusing on our principals, this programme was to be dynamic and challenging, featuring leadership and business development elements aswell as opportunities to drive our strategy, mission and values. For this reason, we decided to partner with the team at Impact and The Talea Group to collaboratively scheme this long-term programme we now call Apex."
