LMAP is used at Harvard Business School’s premier Advanced Management Program, Yale School of Management’s Executive Education, Global Leader, and CEO College Programs, over 30 healthcare systems in the US and in leadership development programs around the world.As a Principal at LMAP, I expanded our client base by building the sales and marketing function. I created the sales funnel, sales process, installed a CRM system, and led outbound sales with a 70% closing ratio by helping clients design leadership development programs that fit their needs. I built inbound marketing with a new website, SEO, social media, thought leadership, and PR firm. At LMAP, we help HR/OD clients implement evidence-based leadership development using the LMAP 360. Whereas most 360s are competency based, the LMAP 360 is personality based, raising a leader's self awareness of which behaviors are effective vs. ineffective based on significant and validated research data, not anecdotes or marketing.
