“Working with Bates has had a significant impact on my effectiveness at communicating at the senior leadership level. I am now more confident, better prepared, and have increased impact when presenting to audiences such as our Board of Directors, industry groups and strategic partners. The coach quickly dove into my business during a time of transformative change, identifying opportunities for me to rapidly demonstrate greater impact, motivate my workforce and successfully launch highly visible strategic initiatives.”

- President, Major Health Insurance Company

“The greatest benefit Bates has delivered is in helping me develop ‘executive presence.’ Unlike many of the other programs I've been through, Bates provided intensive, one-to-one coaching on real-life, critical issues that I was facing at that very moment. I've learned the finesse that has helped me become much more effective in dealing with colleagues, direct reports, and senior management. This translates into significantly improved productivity, an increased ability to sell my ideas in the organization, and most importantly, increased responsibility over time.”

- SVP, Major Financial Services Company

“My experience with the ExPI certification program was outstanding. The ExPI assessment is potentially very helpful to all leaders, and the tool is rich and nuanced.  To get the most out of it, certification is essential. The Bates team has a thorough and well thought-through approach to skilling up coaches. The certification program gives you the necessary grounding to really appreciate and help people get full benefit from their ExPI feedback. In addition to the effective teaching component, the certification program provides opportunity to practice, role-play and network with other users, all of which accelerate and deepen understanding of the tool. The certification has proven its value as I’ve started to coach leaders with the help of the ExPI.“

“I’ve never seen an assessment that defines executive presence with such depth and precision. It’s opened my eyes to how a high potential can be developed into an influential leader. I can also see how it actually complements other leadership assessments.”
