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.”

A lot has changed within my leadership style. I question my actions much more. I always try something new, I am much more courageous! I observe more consciously what is happening around me. I think about what I can improve and adjust details. I try to involve staff more in issues that concern them. In discussions, I listen actively and hopefully better, ask open questions, and to do all this much more consciously.
