Testimonials

Katherine Andersen

Market Manager, Head of Life Science and Healthcare, HSBC

My expectations of LSI were sky high and I was still blown away. My fellow participants were a diverse group of high performers, and the sessions were highly interactive. Since LSI I’ve been focusing primarily on just one thing: to pause, listen, and reflect more. It’s had a profoundly positive impact. Rather than immediately jumping in when faced with a challenge, I instead provide encouragement to my teams to identify their own solutions. The result is they're both energized and highly engaged while I’m less harried. LSI helped me realize a broader definition of leadership.

Daryl Byrne

Head of Regulation, Irish Stock Exchange

The program uniquely delivers to both strategic and leadership matters, and the combination of superb professors, hands-on case studies, and an insightful and engaged peer group really helped me to refine my own leadership style, strategic thinking, and perspective.

Chris Chang

CIO, Darden Restaurants

Tuck’s Leadership and Strategic Impact program offers a stimulating environment with access to world-class faculty and content, which opened my mind around leadership and overall business strategy. The formal case studies, coupled with the classroom discussion and activities, provided a great learning platform that I still draw from today.

Samantha Davies

SVP Marketing, City National Bank

I was a completely different leader after LSI. I have a greater strategic approach to decision making. I listen more actively, and I’m more open to new approaches, which was particularly important during a recent merger. We lived strategy at Tuck.

Brian Fritz

Manager of Technical Support at IGT

I knew of this program and was excited to attend but upon arrival I began to struggle with impostor syndrome. However, I soon realized that every leader faces similar types of issues and that we were all able to help each other—regardless of current title, education, or other. This course gave me increased confidence in my more natural strengths, as well as insight into improving certain areas to become a more effective leader.

Irene Green

Managing Director of Northern Stage Company

Make time for this course. Busy executives never have extra time but honestly, you can't afford not to level up your leadership skills. This course delivers the tools needed to move the dial on your leadership style and approach to visioning and strategy. And it's presented in a way that allows you to immediately begin activating what you learn. Can't recommend strongly enough!

This program will speak to you on both a professional and personal level if you are willing to let your guard down, and just be a part of the class.

Eileen Mastrio

Head of Financial Advisors Strategic Initiatives Marketing, MassMutual

During the program we were challenged as leaders to have the courage to move way beyond our comfort zone. It’s about striking a balance to be true to yourself, to reconcile our yearning for authenticity in how we work and lead with an equally powerful desire to grow. I revisit my action plan often and even have small reminders around my workspace about what I need to be more aware of and work on. Even after the program, my cohort has been able to check in as a peer group to see how we are doing on our plan. We help each other point out where we've grown and where we need to continue to work on our leadership styles.

Leadership and Strategic Impact added a new dimension to my understanding of leadership. The professors crafted a simplified meaning of leadership from our regular daily engagements with colleagues, both juniors and peers in our professional relationships. Without a doubt, LSI is a program that every organization's aspiring leaders need in their professional development.

The Tuck Leadership and Strategic Impact program totally exceeded my expectations. The instructors, the content and the participants were all exceptional. Not only did I learn and grow from the experience in the classroom I also formed meaningful relationships with a diverse group of peers.

Vice President, Media Relations, Novo Nordisk A/S

I can highly recommend the Leadership and Strategic Impact Program. Learning about the intersection of strategy, leadership, and communication was highly relevant, and the focus on how you develop a strategic mind-set, coupled with sessions on personal leadership and personal responsibility, has helped me develop in my job.

Ben Watkins

Vice President of Operations, McCarthy Building Companies

The Leadership and Strategic Impact Program was an eye-opening experience for me in my journey to become a successful leader. The content was excellent and it was delivered in a way that was both thought-provoking and insightful. I am no doubt improved as a leader, and perhaps more importantly as a person, as a result of actively participating in this program.

Janet Joy Wilson

Sr. Executive Sales Director and Director, The Sustainability Team, Penguin Random House Canada

I selected LSI because I was looking for inspiration, new skills, a classroom with colleagues from around the world, and top notch professors. I found it! It was a challenging and intensive week on campus and truly exhausting and exhilarating. A fantastic group of participants from eight countries reinforced the lessons and we became a united nation in and outside of the classroom. I have a completely new repertoire of skills to engage my team so that they can be the best they can be.
