Impact partnered with Hilton Worldwide to create two dynamic programs that leverage creative behavioral simulations and practical skills to build an ‘executive presence’ for high potentials and high performers. 

Hilton Worldwide wanted these programs to develop their executives’ ability to lead effectively in the hospitality industry’s ever-changing business environment.

These strategically anchored programs needed to develop:

  • Mindsets and behaviors around executive presence
  • Confidence to influence in high-change environments
  • Authentic leadership skills.  

Impact created two Executive Presence programs that engaged participants though a series of behavioral simulations that increased their capabilities utilising real-life, high pressure situations. Participants were required to collaborate and address real business challenges, while practicing the creation and delivery of critical leadership messages. 

The results were outstanding, with all key metrics scoring greater than 4.5 out of 5. This program was also awarded the 2015 CLO Learning in Practice Award for Excellence in Gaming and Simulations.

"The day was very, very inspiring. We were able to make a real difference to our community partner: SMart, by delivering some really tangible benefits - including sourcing and mentoring admin support, developing a business plan to attract the right calibre of trustees and helping them to source office and gallery/storage space... It was a day of truly appreciating and celebrating life.”

“Engaging the managers in the process was integral to the programme's success. They played an important role by providing on-going career coaching discussions with their staff.”

If you view leadership development as a cost, it can be hard to justify. But when you see it as an investment in people, in the organisation, and in shaping the culture - leading to a better colleague experience and, ultimately, a better customer experience – it becomes clear that investing in leadership development isn’t just justifiable, it’s essential.
