Snapshot

Client: Assurant
Level: AVP (Assistant Vice President) leaders
Challenge: Translate leadership competencies into consistent daily practices across enterprise
Program: Customized PowerUp cohort leadership development
Participants: AVP leaders across multiple cohorts
Impact: 700+ employees affected through improved leadership

The Challenge

Assurant had clearly defined Leadership Success Profile competencies, but AVP leaders across the enterprise were applying them inconsistently. While individual leaders were capable, the organization needed practical tools and peer support to help leaders translate competencies into daily leadership practices and build stronger connections between leaders at different levels.

The Solution

We implemented a customized PowerUp program tailored to Assurant’s Leadership Success Profile, applying our H.U.M.A.N. First ™ method through cohort-based peer learning.

Program included:

  • Workshops customized to Assurant’s Leadership Success Profile competencies
  • 360° assessments to increase self-awareness
  • Small group coaching sessions with peer learning opportunities
  • Practical go-do assignments for immediate application
  • Cross-level leader connections and peer network building

Leaders didn’t just learn leadership concepts—they practiced them with peer support and applied them immediately in their roles, creating sustainable behavior change.

Key Takeaways 
  • Customization matters. Tailoring PowerUp to Assurant’s existing Leadership Success Profile ensured immediate relevance and application rather than generic leadership theory.
  • Peer learning accelerates adoption. The cohort structure created lasting connections and shared accountability that individual development couldn’t achieve.
  • Go-do assignments drive behavior change. The 90% completion rate reflects PowerUp’s focus on immediate, practical application—not just conceptual learning.
  • Impact scales beyond participants. With 700+ employees affected, leadership development created ripple effects throughout teams and the broader organization.
    “PowerUp didn’t just develop individual leaders—it created a network of connected leaders who continue supporting each other’s growth long after the program ended.”
