How it Works
1 | Assess & Aspire
Each month at Ceresa Academy serves a distinct purpose. Participants kick off each module by completing assessments before the live coaching session. These assessments not only reassure the coach that everyone is ready but also ensure that each participant knows what to anticipate for the month ahead.
2 | Grow & Achieve
After completing their assessments, participants will attend a live coaching session with their assigned coach and cohort. This session serves as an opportunity for participants to learn from each other, with the conversation guided by their executive coach.
3 | Reflect
To conclude each month, participants will be prompted with a series of questions to reflect on their major takeaways, any questions they may have, and to provide an overall update on their progress. These responses will be available to supervisors on an anonymous basis.
