What Our Clients Are Saying

"We had the honor of working with Thayer Leadership on both individual and team leadership development. Sending our emerging leaders to their Open Enrollment has become standard practice and is an integral part of our program. Most recently, BG (Ret.) Becky Halstead spoke with our Senior Managers about the key principles of leadership and the importance of leading yourself first. Using her Army and West Point experiences, her message was direct, humorous, and extremely inspiring! We had our team read her book, “24/7: The First Person You Must Lead Is You” beforehand, which set the stage for her dynamic presentation. Atlantic Broadband’s focus is on leadership with an emphasis on teamwork and innovation - Becky's message spoke to the importance of that. Working with Thayer has truly been invaluable to our team!"

"I highly recommend Thayer Leadership, specifically their Battle Tested Leadership program. It is a unique opportunity to experience West Point with faculty who reflect the philosophies, values, and tools the Army has developed. The program meaningfully connects military leadership experiences with how to translate those learnings into a corporate team environment. The faculty also encourages you to focus on personal leadership philosophies and how they can impact the team and ultimately the bottom-line results."

"It was an absolute honor to be able to attend Thayer’s Open Enrollment program at West Point. I can speak for my entire team, we all left with a better understanding of how to be better leaders, and with a greater sense of self. The energy and enthusiasm of the faculty became infectious. I truly appreciated their efforts to make it personal to every member of my team and provide them an opportunity to look in the mirror and reflect on themselves as leaders. I for myself left with a much greater appreciation for the level of professionalism the faculty clearly have given to countless under their command."
