Challenge
Preparing to expand: Leadership was not developed enough for Waldinger’s growth ambitions
Promotion without support: Project managers were being promoted without leadership training
Missing structure: They needed shared language, habits, tools, and real leadership support
“I would definitely recommend The Breakthrough to be able to fit into a busy person’s schedule and still have good skill retention.”
Ryan Hepler, Senior Project Manager
Solution
Leaders growing together: Managers built trust, challenged each other, and shared learning
Practical skills, real work: Leadership habits formed through peer feedback and daily practice
Shared expectations: Support and accountability. Growth was visible, structured, and cultural
“When we focused on this program, great things happened. You’ll see results.”
Dan Hampton, Vice President
