Executive talent development for the hospitality industry at Hilton Worldwide

About

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

Hilton Worldwide wanted these programs to develop their executives’ ability to lead effectively in the hospitality industry’s ever-changing business environment.

These strategically anchored programs needed to develop:

  • Mindsets and behaviors around executive presence
  • Confidence to influence in high-change environments
  • Authentic leadership skills.  

Impact created two Executive Presence programs that engaged participants though a series of behavioral simulations that increased their capabilities utilising real-life, high pressure situations. Participants were required to collaborate and address real business challenges, while practicing the creation and delivery of critical leadership messages. 

The results were outstanding, with all key metrics scoring greater than 4.5 out of 5. This program was also awarded the 2015 CLO Learning in Practice Award for Excellence in Gaming and Simulations.

“The Hogan assessment was of great benefit; it opened a new set of conversations with my leader and my team that has been improving my ability to be an effective leader. I also found where I needed to change the conversation in my personal relationships as well, becoming a better spouse, parent, and friend. Overall, I’m deeply honored I had the opportunity to be a part of such a great cohort and a well-designed, thoughtful programme."
