Ramona and her Leadership Accelerator program have been a huge help in developing more effective leadership habits and in discovering a career path that I feel passionate about and is effective with my personal leadership style. With that, I’m now able to feel more confident, develop better relationships, and overall be more successful in my role as a manager. She is incredibly resourceful and her arsenal of tools and frameworks will help me for years or even decades to come. Ramona has recently helped me work through a challenging situation and I was so grateful to have had her on my side as a partner and guide the entire way through. I highly recommend Ramona and her programs to anyone who is eager to learn and grow as a leader.

Ramona is the first coach I’ve worked with, and I feel extremely fortunate to have had her guidance and support during my transition to a Director-level role in marketing in a fast-growing software company.

Prior to joining the Leadership Accelerator and working with Ramona, I was getting by on intuition alone – but very quickly I realized the benefits of adopting and using frameworks in my approach to leadership.

The program is transformative, and I’m now much better equipped to delegate effectively, coach and inspire success in others, have the tough conversations, and more. I definitely recommend Ramona to existing and future leaders who aspire to bring out the best in their teams.

I would want someone to know how much this program has helped me as a new manager to build up my confidence and help me manage difficult conversations and situations. I would mention all the tools and resources available to them in this program including the weekly small group meetings with likeminded people in similar situations. I only have positive, great things to say about the program.

This program will encourage you to reconsider your perception of leadership and its positive impact on your approach to it. It's not only educational but also an enjoyable and immersive experience, enriched with comprehensive course material. Moreover, it encourages you to step out of your comfort zone, promoting personal and professional growth.

The Leadership Accelerator program was hugely beneficial in helping me clearly identify which areas I was deficient in and provided tools to better communicate and increase my productivity.

The program was a great resource while I navigated my new management role and the weekly calls were a great opportunity to talk with others who were experiencing similar situations and find new ways to solve problems. I would highly suggest this program to any new manager, or even veteran managers who need fresh insight into leading your team effectively.

I have absolutely loved the Leadership Accelerator program. Ramona’s guidance and coaching have been fantastic. I am so glad I invested in this course so early in my management career. I cannot imagine what managing my team would have been like without this education and Ramona by my side. It was money well spent! I recommend it for any new manager!

Ramona and her Leadership Accelerator program have been tremendously helpful in providing the resources and framework for me to hone my leadership skills and develop new habits. Ramona is a supportive and thoughtful coach whose insightful advice has been invaluable in helping me identify my blind spots, navigate a number of challenges, and gain more confidence. I highly recommend Ramona and her program to anyone who is looking to grow as a leader.

The course material was very thorough and gives great tips for becoming an effective leader. Ramona is very knowledgeable and has great tips on how to navigate the challenges that a leader will face over the lifetime of their career. The group sessions were very helpful and facilitated information sharing and relationship building with other new leaders. It was really helpful to be able to share scenarios with each other and obtain objective feedback not only from Ramona but the other group members as well. I would definitely recommend the Leadership Accelerator to any new leaders and to more seasoned professionals as well for a fresh perspective.

The Leadership Accelerator is the best experience I have had with any class or program. It was extensive in the subjects that were covered, while at the same time, giving time to process each subject presented. It was so respectful of learning styles because there are videos and worksheets, so it covers any way you learn. And you get to practice as well as talk things through.

Because of this class, I see myself in a new way. I feel so much more confident in the way I lead as well as the decisions I make with regard to the people I lead. I cannot say enough great things about this program. I will continue to sign up for more classes because this has been such a valuable experience.

I am so grateful I had the opportunity to participate in the 12-week Leadership Accelerator program offered by Ramona Shaw. This was certainly a journey of leadership development and career growth for me. Every week, I watched the pre-recorded videos, completed some hands-on activities, attended a coaching call with 2 other fellows, and took actions on the prompts and followed through. From the beginning of the program, we were encouraged to keep our long-term perspectives in mind, which was very helpful to stay focused and maximize the learning from the program.

During the weekly group coaching calls, we discussed our successes and some ongoing challenges each of us were facing at work, which helped us gain different perspectives and broaden our understanding of the challenges other people were dealing with. We also learned how to coach by observing others being coached, which was quite helpful. The coaching calls were very engaging and dynamic. Through the program, I was able to engage with my colleagues at work (including my manager and direct reports) by bringing some of the materials from the Leadership Accelerator program back to them and sharing what I had learned. Some of the topics we discussed in the program included: Roles & Expectations, Delegate Effectively & Improve Productivity, Coaching as a Manager, Giving & Receiving Feedback, Navigating Conflict, Managing Up & Across, Executive, Meeting Management & Presentation Skills, Employee Motivation, and Influence & Persuasion.

Ramona is an excellent career coach and an expert in leadership development. It was a privilege and pleasure working with her in the Leadership Accelerator program.

I joined the Leadership Accelerator when I stepped into my first official leadership role and had to lead my former peers. This program helped me have a successful start and gave me a panoply of useful toolkits that will benefit me throughout my leadership career. It covered all essential questions and topics that might come to my head as a new leader, including important topics that are often neglected such as how to deal with emotions and presentation skills. I have become notably more confident and skilled as a leader with the help of Ramona’s Leadership Accelerator program and highly recommend it to anyone who is new to leadership.

I found the Leadership Accelerator to be insightful and timely related to issues that I encountered as a manager within their first year in the role. It allowed me to understand my leadership style, and also to grow to meet my team’s and my organization’s unique challenges. This mentorship and training in the Leadership Accelerator were essential for me to fully step into my role and laid the groundwork for regular improvement.

As a new first-time manager, I was worried about making the new decisions and being appropriately assertive. Speaking through scenarios with Ramona and the group in the Leadership Accelerator helped me more than I can describe!

The Leadership Accelerator Program touched on the topics that I needed to learn as a new manager. I’m just truly grateful for the opportunity given to me to join this program. The timing was really perfect – this is the perfect training for emerging leaders and even existing managers can benefit from this training. I really couldn’t think of a topic about leadership that we have not covered in this program. If only I could, I would choose to have this training longer. But with continued access to the Members Area’s videos, worksheets, and bonus tools, I can be comforted that if the time comes that I need to apply what I have learned, I can go back to the videos, tools, and even my personal notes to help me get through my leadership journey.

I love Ramona Shaw’s method of coaching! The Leadership Accelerator was easy to follow. It gave me a chance to interact with leaders outside of my organization and learned that you’re not alone. I consider myself an introvert and this course opened up my mind and enabled me to challenge my thinking. It also assisted me in doing my mid-evaluation with my team on how to give feedback and provide motivation.

Navien has now seen participants move from supervisory level to a Management position, overseeing a larger team since completing the program. This has helped us to change departmental structures, giving the Director more time for strategic planning with the supporting management roles in place and more training and 1:1s with their team managers.

How would it feel to get unsolicited(!) compliments from your colleagues and subordinates about your improvements as a leader? 

That's been my experience multiple times since participating in the Leadership Accelerator. Our team cohesion is up, which has allowed me to get more "above" my business and build more of the systems my subordinates need. I've improved in how I structure my meetings, engage in opposition/resolve conflict, communicate with clients, and laid the foundation for so much more. 

Ramona's program is the real deal, and if the future is anything like the present, it's going to continue to pay off for the rest of my life.
