When you’re on the verge of a career breakthrough, sometimes you just need a bit of guidance. That’s the idea behind this professional services firm’s Emerging Leaders Development Program, an eight-month initiative for high-potential multicultural managers and senior managers, which utilizes private coaching, executive sponsorship and career workshops to propel participants to the next level. Women who are in line to become partners, principals or directors might also be selected for the WINning New Business Initiative, which finds senior leaders sharing what they’ve learned about client negotiation and building industry relationships. Talented consultants and managers frequently enhance their career prospects by working abroad, while U.S.-based employees raise their game by attending the 500+ annual events of the firm’s seven national business resource groups.
