Helping the BMO Team Build the Real Skills They Need

One of the most challenging aspects of leading and managing successful teams is engaging with colleagues at critical moments. Traditional training provides a framework for communication and managing conflict but often lacks the opportunity to apply lessons learned in a safe, realistic, and impactful way.

Our Delivering Tough Feedback Program will help the members of your team reach their true potential as managers and leaders and maximize the positive impact they have on BMO’s culture. pelotonRPM will help them develop the critical skills, competence, and confidence they need to navigate critical workplace conversations and thrive in their role.

We calibrate our coaching to the specific individual to maximize impact. When it comes to coaching, there is no one-size fits all solution. Each learner comes to the table with different roles, strengths, weaknesses, and potential for growth. We have a well-defined coaching roadmap, but we allow the learner to drive the direction of the experience as well.

DIRECTOR, BMO CAPITAL MARKETS

I would like to convey my deep appreciation for the opportunity to have been part of this program. I really enjoyed it and was definitely enriched by the experience. I really appreciate the feedback and will commit to improving the areas in which I’m strong, as well as, more importantly, the areas that require strengthening.

It's time to change the way we engage, communicate, and learn.
