Develop 21st Century Leaders

Develop 21st Century Leaders

In today’s organizations, leaders are needed at all levels. From emerging leaders all the way to the C suite, Evergreen Leadership partners with you to develop collaborative, creative, connected leaders. Our customized programs are co-designed with you to ensure programming that is timely, relevant and delivered in ways that work with your organization.

We draw from a large library of tested curriculum that addresses the skills most in demand today. We adapt our delivery method to meet your needs, your leaders and your budget. A typical program will use a variety of learning formats including Evergreen Circles (face to face peer group learning), webinars, individual or group coaching, and action learning projects.

Developing Your Leaders

Evergreen programs are designed with the following philosophical framework – which builds the foundation for agility in on your teams and in your organization.

Relationships Matter

We create deep and trusted relationships in our programs between participants with the goal of nurturing sustainable networks that endure over time.

Leadership Starts on the Inside

Leadership is the deepest reflection of who you are as a human. All our programs are grounded in self discovery and helping leaders operate from their core values and strengths.

Agility in Action

We teach and model the processes of agility - quick learning and adaptation. Our programs include a calibration process, in which we assess and adjust multiple times throughout the program to deliver the results you are looking for.

Guide Not Lecture

We are not “sages on the stage” - we are partners who walk by your side, creating facilitated learning environments in which learning is interactive and the wisdom of all it tapped into.

Learn Over Time

Robust skill development does not happen in one miraculous moment. Our programs are designed to engage leaders over time, enabling deeper and more, longer lasting changes.

Take Action

To learn, one must do. Our programs insist on a growth cycle that includes continuously cycles between practice, application, reflection & learning.

Build your team with a custom Evergreen program.

I have found that my coaching with Kris Taylor has been extremely helpful in both my professional and personal life. Her ability to grasp the critical business and organizational aspects of my job, along with my personal leadership style, its strengths and weaknesses was critical in establishing an professional action plan that has greatly improved my ability to manage and lead. Her ability to quickly identify differences between my style and the company’s culture, identify action steps, and provide honest and insightful feedback has provided a clear path to improving my ability to lead my organization forward. Kris is always very personable to work with.

Kris worked with me on organizational and personal growth and development. What sets Kris apart from other companies or service providers is her overall commitment to excellence, timeliness on providing feedback, professionalism, and her ability to personally take ownership in working to develop your leadership capabilities. She's able to focus on opportunities proactively and present improvement plans that are proven to work. She has a personality that continuously projects a positive image. I would highly recommend Kris to any organization that seeks to improve their organizational leadership and capability.

Participating in an Evergreen Leadership Circle gave me a safe environment to explore and play, friends I didn’t know I lacked, and the catalyst and accountability to pursue my dreams.
BeckyIT Director Fortune 200 Company
I consider myself a seasoned expert in the OD space, and then I I attended a women’s Evergreen circle and was amazed at Kris’s quiet strength and ability to create a meaningful experience. I walked away floored by the personal revelations I experienced.
AngelaTalent & Org Development Director, Fortune 200 Company
Kris is a phenomenal change management expert, and I’ve been fortunate to work with her directly. She brings her whole self to her writing and work. Her writing on Gratitude was life changing for me, and arrived just when I needed it. Kris doesn’t separate personal life experiences from her work. She finds a way to fold them in – something not many people can do – and it makes her work that much more powerful.
