Build Exceptional Engineering Leaders with EMI’s Tailored ELA Program

Or, you could keep things status quo.

Your successful leaders will leave for better opportunities.

Your underdeveloped leaders will stagnate.

Testimonials

“The Engineering Leadership Accelerator™ program was a great way to train a group of managers, from different disciplines and office locations, without incurring travel costs. They learned how to collaborate and solve business problems by utilizing technology, which can be a huge benefit in a multi-locational company. Our managers enjoyed the project challenge part of the training because “it was a real life issue that we had to solve” and will take the skills they developed in the workshops and “apply them to their everyday interactions.”

Sarah Paul

Director of Learning & Development at Pennoni

“Taking part in ELA was a very valuable experience to me. Initially I was skeptical about signing up for the program because of my busy schedule, but I’m glad I did! Finding a coach with a similar background, who has an understanding of where we (engineers) come from and has knowledge about the industry made the experience truly unique. ELA is well designed to initiate and accelerate management techniques such as team building, decision making, communication and networking skills. We may possess the technical knowledge to grow, but Anthony’s program and tips helps develop the much needed soft skills to become better engineering managers and leaders.”

“ELA has forced me to consider not only how I can purposefully spend my own time, but also how I can empower others to do their best work. Our group challenge has given me the opportunity to be a leader among my peers and to make an impact on our company beyond my usual realm of influence.”

“One of my biggest challenges in learning to be an engineering manager has been balancing managing projects versus managing people.

“The ELA course taught me new skills and approaches to situations/topics that I did not have before. It helped me become more of an “expert” in certain fields and helped me develop more professionally.”

“When a company prioritizes and makes this course available, Anthony in turn provides a framework for the employee to pause, consider, and bolster their ability to focus on what matters most for productivity and effectiveness. This yields benefit within the company, for clients, and the individual employee’s career development in present and future roles. The implementation and follow- through will ultimately be up to the employee and company, but additional tools to succeed are in-place as a result of intentional time with the EMI Team.”
