LEADER AS COACH
Lead with confidence
Leader as Coach is an executive leadership development group coaching program designed for long-term success, behavior change, and growth.
This is not your traditional one-size-fits-all leadership development. We will scale up or down to meet your organization’s needs, and we manage the entire process. And we mean everything – from internal communication templates, scheduling, and tracking attendance – we take care of it all.
We use scaffolding practices to ensure participants bridge the gap between what they know and what they’re learning – topics are broken down into digestible sections that build over the course into multilayered concepts. We engage individuals where they are and learning is applied in real-time to effectively develop lasting habits and thought patterns.
TimingΒ Β |Β 40 hours over 9 months, 1 hour/week
We know that application and repetition over an extended period of time are key to developing new neural pathways that turn leadership skills into behaviors that are second nature. That's why Leader as Coach is one hour per week for 39 weeks.

Bold Font’s program is totally unlike anything I’ve experienced in executive coaching and leadership training. They don’t have a view of success that they attempt to overlay onto everyone – they take an individual approach to learn about and understand you first at a very deep level. I thought that I had mastered everything needed to thrive in the corporate world, but uncovered aspects of how I work and thought that were holding me back. And we didn’t just learn what these shortcomings were – we learned why they were important and how to overcome them. Bold Font helped associate all of this within a business context – always applied it to how I worked with both staff and executives. But what were the results? I felt like I had a completely new and positive outlook of my career. It was that dramatic. I recommend this program to anyone at all levels!

As someone that has been leading teams for almost 30 years, this program provided a great opportunity for me to continue to evolve my skills through improved communication and feedback, not only with those that report to me, but with those that I report to. Proper communication is the key to staying relevant in the ever-changing employee climate, and this program has helped me implement more concise skills to understand that.

I've had the pleasure of working with Lauran Arledge and Bold Font for almost four years, and it has been one of the most rewarding relationships of my life. Lauran's coaching has helped me become a better leader, and a calmer, more confident, and person. I genuinely believe I am a better human being for having worked with Lauran. She has had an enormous positive impact on my life, and I would recommend her and Bold Font to anyone.

We have partnered with Lauran and her team on several projects including performance management and coaching & team development. Their knowledge and insight have been invaluable in strengthening our employee culture and effectiveness.

Much of the leadership team at our Inc. 500 small business, including myself, are young in our careers and lack extensive management experience - none of us has more than 10 years’ experience leading teams of full-time staff, and most have fewer than five. Bold Font is very valuable in guiding our team through many of the day-to-day communication and organizational challenges faced by our fast-growing company...thanks to Bold Font’s help, [we] find ourselves in a place where we've got the right people in the right seats, doing the right things. Traffic to our website is up, revenue is up, and we see far less employee turnover. It goes without saying that we plan to continue our relationship. Thank you Bold Font!

Working with Bold Font has been my first experience with executive coaching. My coach is exceptionally personable, actively engaged in our coaching sessions and has made a connection and effort to understand the scope of my job. She has helped me to drive improved inner perspective about what really matters – in turn, I’m able to translate that into being a better leader and manager for my team. I appreciate my coach’s candor and the way she gives me feedback in a constructive way. Bold Font truly takes a partnership-oriented approach to coaching and I really value my time with my coach each week.

VP and General Manager, Xanterra, Yellowstone
I have worked for very large organizations that each had development programs for their staff, but most were one and done. The expectation is always, you went through the class and now you know better… get to it. However, life is really not like that. Good development programs are a process not a function, and that is where is differentiate Bold font with the others - It’s a process. My Bold Font coach is an exceptional coach and my teammates take the process seriously. I believe we were all a bit skeptical at the beginning, but we were pleasantly surprised how much fun and also how insightful the program is.
