Reaching Higher for Organizations (RH360)

Reaching Higher for Organizations (RH360) is a person-centered leadership development approach for organizations to invest in the well-being of their people. Through RH360, your employees will discover the power of adopting a growth mindset personally and professionally. 

Why a person-centered approach to leadership development?

  • A “way of life” mindset means sustained growth professionally.
  • A person-centered approach communicates care — that you view your team members as more than an employee; you view them as a person. The person is greater than the professional.

“(Before Reaching Higher) Daily I would battle with negative thoughts that would hold me back at work. I lacked self-confidence and felt I did not have the ability to go beyond what I am currently doing. Through this fantastic session I learned and fought. The phrase ‘It may be difficult, but it is possible’ has really made a difference and I fight every day to take small steps forward. I want to thank Reaching Higher for offering this class. It really has changed my perspective of life and myself. “

– Kennedy Industries employee Dane Bullen, who received a promotion following his involvement in the RH360 course

“I would recommend Reaching Higher to all professionals. I think there’s a lot of need in terms of our own self-exploration, our own willingness to be vulnerable, our own willingness to share our stories. When we do this work, we show up as ourselves in more meaningful and authentic ways. At the end of the day, it’s who we are, how we show up and what we share as ourselves.”

— Nancy Finazzo, Ph.D., Lightcast, director of education success

Why RH360 for your organization?

You can’t afford to NOT invest in the development and well-being of your people!

  • According to to a study by the Society for Human Resource Management, the average cost to replace a salaried employee is six to nine months’ salary.
  • A survey by Monster found that 49 percent of employees would leave their current job for a company that values employee well-being, even if it means taking a pay cut.
  • A study by the Harvard Business Review found that employees who feel that their company cares about their personal and professional development are 20 percent more likely to stay with the company.
  •  A survey by the American Psychological Association found that more than half of employees who feel valued by their employer report feeling less stressed, and 89 percent of those employees report better overall well-being.

What Reaching Higher can provide for organizations:

  • Develop your people personally and professionally by enrolling them in the Reaching Higher six-session course for adults: This is a live online course facilitated by a RH instructor and mentors.
  • Executive coaching: After an initial assessment to gauge your organization’s strengths and gaps, a three-month series of one-on-one coaching sessions will be held, designed to build on existing strengths, identify blind spots and maximize the leader’s impact.
  • Identify ROI opportunities: Our coaches will collaborate with the company leader to design a brief, customized, anonymous company survey to establish current attitudes about the companies’ culture. 
  • Deliver a variety of workshops designed to engage and develop employees: These include topics such as Positive Life Choices, AHA: Attitude-Happiness-Achievement, The Ethical Organization, Building Core Communication Skills and Giving, Receiving and Seeking Feedback.
  • Create a Company Strategic Plan with company leadership.
