The Challenge

The bridge between strategy and execution

You’ve been working to mature your organization through strategy, process, and systems, but your leaders and managers seem to be making things harder, not easier. That’s because they aren’t properly prepared for what you’re asking of them.

You expect them to translate the strategy, cascade accountability, develop their people, and model the culture. But you haven’t identified the skills, support, or even a shared understanding of what “good management” looks like.

How We Help

Three modes of engagement

Every organization is different. We work in ways that fit your context, your timeline, and your goals.

Programs

Sustained development for cohorts of managers and leaders. 3-9 months of blended learning, coaching, and real application.

About Bevel Talent

Built from the practitioner’s seat

Bevel Talent was founded by Dan Lawner, a facilitator, coach, and learning experience designer who spent over 10 years inside organizations as a Learning & Talent leader. Dan has built and facilitated transformative manager and leader development programs at growing organizations like DT Global, PSI, Pathfinder International, and Federated Wireless.

Dan realized that managers and leaders in mid-sized organizations badly need guidance and support long before those organizations hire their first Learning & Development leader. That’s why he founded Bevel Talent. To give mid-sized organizations in-house quality support with the flexibility of an outside partner.
