About

Hilton Worldwide is an American multinational hospitality company that manages and franchises a broad portfolio of hotels and resorts.

Objective

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

Solution

The Executive Presence programs develop executives’ ability to lead effectively in the hospitality industry’s ever-changing business environment. They are strategically anchored programs that develop mindsets and behaviors around executive presence; influence in high-change environments; and authentic leadership. Participants collaborate and address real business challenges, while practicing the creation and delivery of critical leadership messages. Both programs engage participants though a series of behavioral simulations that increase their capabilities in real-life, high pressure situations.

Result

The results to date have been outstanding with all key metrics achieving greater than a 4.5 out of 5. This program was also awarded the 2015 CLO Learning in Practice Award for Excellence in Gaming and Simulations.

"I was quite sceptical about the merits of a programme like this so approached it with some reservations. However, right from the start I enjoyed the whole experience. It was challenging mentally, physically and emotionally and I found I was stretched in every direction. As a result, I learned a lot about myself but also about my colleagues, most of whom I was meeting for the first time."

"The involvement of Impact has been hugely valuable to us not only for the crucial professional insights and recommendations they were able to offer the training process and the programme as a whole, but also as their consultants bring such great energy and enthusiasm with them. It is uplifting and exciting to have them on board.”
