Real Results. Lasting Impact. Hear from Those Who’ve Transformed with Shawn’s Guidance.Ivy Tech Community College’s Evansville campus engaged Shawn Collins and the GiANT operating system as a communication and leadership initiative for its 10-member Chancellor’s Cabinet in 2022. The Cabinet includes the leaders of all the functional areas on campus. This year-long training system helped us discover our “voices” and how knowing yourself is important to hearing and leading others. We learned that while we efficiently lead areas of the college that keep it operating and focused on our students, we all lead from different voices that may be drawing others in, focused on others wellbeing, creativity abounding, or that are highly focused, but perhaps off-putting to others. We learned about balance and how important each of the five voices are to a peak operating team and how each of our voices when we are stressed have very distinct characteristics. Knowing ourselves to lead ourselves (and others) was a strong takeaway for the team. Ivy Tech Evansville has decided to continue to adopt this toolkit and embed it throughout the rest of the organization. In Fall of 2023 we launched GiANT training for the Extended Cabinet – directors and deans of all areas of the college – and it is nearly complete. Ivy Tech plans to offer it even further into the organization so that we can develop shared language and tools that will help us solidify our culture and build an even stronger team. We thank the Extend Group, and Shawn Collins in particular, for his expertise in leading us forward.
I am fortunate to have an enthusiastic team with a passion for hospitality and live events. One obstacle to continuing our success was the limited experience of many team members in our specific industry and/or limited professional leadership experience. The challenge we were presented with was, “How do we communicate effectively with our clients and with each other to keep up with the increasing needs for live events?”
With the help of Shawn’s team at Extend Group, our team has been able to build confidence in their leadership and communication skills with our clients and one another. The results from our client feedback have been a resounding success. I highly recommend Shawn, EXTEND GROUP, and the GiANT Worldwide programs 5 Voices and 5 Gears for any team, especially one with emerging leaders.
I have completed GiANT Altitude Sherpa Training two times. The first time in a small cohort group at EXTEND. The second with my leadership team in my organization, Polyram Compounds. I absolutely loved the process of working with Shawn and the group of other leaders in Evansville, but the value of completing it with the team you work with daily is invaluable. There’s the obvious benefit and opportunity of working amongst individuals who are now like-minded towards the same goals for the organization. It goes deeper than that, though. Being surrounded by people who are all working on their self-awareness and intentional communication while using a new language and vocabulary that you learned together is transformational. I can truly say our leadership team and the organization have made tremendous personal and logistical improvements as well. Polyram Compounds is experiencing a huge growing period, and I am so relieved that we are doing it with the mindset of Sherpas now. You can really see the improvements at every level, but the newfound empathy and understanding the management team now has for one another is remarkable and truly fosters growth and development that will continue to unfold. I am very excited to continue our education with Shawn and for upcoming leaders at Polyram to be equipped with these wonderful and very applicable tools!
