You're only a car ride or plane ride away from a 2023 RLF program! Nine programs this year are being conveniently offered across the country in 12 major metropolitan areas.
Our incredibly complex world is filled with relentless change, unpredictable ambiguity and unexpected upheaval. That’s why the need for top-quality leaders has never been greater. In a recent survey of RLF alumni from the past 20 years, RLF graduates shared* their opinions that ...
*Data obtained from a survey of 3,000+ graduates of RLF programs from 2000 through 2019.
RLF's 2-day sessions are held weeks apart over the course of 8-9 months, resulting in continually reinforced change in critical thinking, behavior and capabilities.
Since 1993, hundreds of leading national and global companies have relied on RLF's time-tested program to transform their high-potential, top talent.
RLF's model catalyzes innovation and personal growth, instilling self-awareness, self-confidence and leadership tools to carry people to the top of their professions.
Deep knowledge is fostered through the reading and discussing of 25+ books to analyze and absorb a broad spectrum of important leadership principles.
Participants are immersed in a rich, highly engaging team environment to practice, network and grow, reaping the benefits of the experiences of everyone in the room.
Over 9 months, RLF participants become more adept at embracing and adapting to change, as a launching point to innovation, creativity and inspiration.
RLF is about discovering one’s self and a sense of mission — to assess and adjust one’s own performance and vulnerabilities to best lead other people and new situations.
“ When I was about two-thirds through RLF I was asked to take over a new team of nearly 200 people. Thanks to what I was learning and applying through RLF and the lessons learned from the book discussions, I focused on listening, understanding various points of view and receiving feedback from all of the business and technology partners. Over the next 3 years, I was able to help change the culture and business partner relationships, as well as increase the trust level and foster a more positive tone and higher energy level throughout the team. The RLF experience truly made me pause, reflect, and consider the way I take on any new assignment -- including another new recent promotion to Vice President. Without RLF, I know I wouldn't be where I am today. “
"RLF certainly changed the trajectory of my career, with my promotion to VP the following year and all subsequent opportunities a direct result of my participation in the program. The RLF experience instilled the business, networking, and strategic thinking skills that continue to be my guiding principles of authentic leadership. The practices of self awareness, and taking the time to ponder and reflect, developed a core attachment to and understanding of my own values and life goals. I continue to recommend and send others to RLF -- both IT and Operations professionals -- and watch with delight as they're transformed into greater leaders, as they give back to their teams and the organization, and blossom into their potential as human beings. RLF truly is a refreshingly hopeful and positively-focused experience."
“At a pivotal place in my career, a mentor and friend recommended me to participate in SIM's RLF program. After completing the final session, I walked out with a fresh view on leadership, relationships -- and, most importantly, myself. The books, activities and discussions were great ... but what I learned from the people (facilitators and fellow RLF attendees) was incredible. The foundational principals and concepts I absorbed during RLF have definitely enhanced my professional opportunities. More importantly, they have enhanced my ability to enjoy my career."
"RLF helped me to reaffirm the type of leader I am – giving me my leadership compass – and confirmed my belief in the type of legacy I wanted to create from my career. It also provided a renewed interest in lifelong learning, which I continue today. Shortly after RLF, I was promoted to VP – Information Technology, leading a global IT team through strategic and tactical activities. Today, I’m fortunate to be able to continue to send my company’s high-performing IT leaders to RLF every year.
