What Alumni Are Saying

“[I] enrolled to gain an understanding of [the] CLO’s role and org value. Experience-driven insights from both the teachers and speakers provided a good understanding of the value creation and challenges. Overall the course provided an end-to-end framework on how to build a CLO-driven competency, especially in a large, complex organization.” — Sudhakar Ravada

“Thank you so much for sharing your expertise during the CLO Accelerator course. I learned so much in a three-month window that I wish I would’ve known five years ago prior to stepping into L&D Leadership. I’m already applying aspects of my plan and excited to keep growing! Thanks again!” — Kelly Barefoot

“I often think of myself as the plumber who isn’t fixing one’s own plumbing, and the Accelerator was a perfect way to make time for my development and increase my knowledge, influence and strategy from an executive viewpoint. My learning partners are senior- to executive-level, and this was deeply valuable to better understand how my partners think and how to be an influencer at a broader, higher level. In fact, I’ve already passed on strategy learned in this program to one partner to help her to have more of a voice with her C-suite leaders and speak their language. It has also led to increased consulting opportunities for me, just within a few months of this program. Thank you for the well-thought-out topics and numerous resources to equip all of us to be better business leaders while still being focused on the people.” — Tonya Tiggett

“Thanks for sharing your expertise in the recent CLO Accelerator program — I learned a lot and, excitingly, I have already won my first CLO role with a startup here in Melbourne. I’m looking forward to continuing to apply my learnings. All the best.” — Katy McDevit
