Turnkey, affordable leadership development with real and lasting impact.

From new hire to rising executive, Ceresa delivers deeply personalized, data-driven results, for all.

This is a once-in-a-generation shift in the talent market.

Companies of all kinds are struggling to keep and grow the talent they’ve worked so hard to recruit. The salary arms race isn’t the answer. People are hungry for real investment, connection, and growth.

We’re here to help.

 A leadership journey like no other.

 

Growth is an organic, deeply individual endeavor.

We think the tree is a near-perfect metaphor for our careers.

No two trees are the same, and each tree needs unique tending to achieve its fullest expression. So it goes with humans, too.

Ceresa meets each learner where they are, guiding them organically and individually to develop their ‘tree’, from roots to leaves. Our personalization engine ensures that each learner gets just what they need to grow.

The Roots :: Personal Foundation
deep self-awareness, personal & professional values, aspirations, goals

The Soil :: Environment
family, partnering, community, relationships, work life

The Trunk :: Wellbeing & Resilience
mental health & resilience, physical health, financial health

The Branches :: Leadership Competency Areas
strategy, management, communication, teams, business acumen…

The Leaves :: Leadership Skills
e.g. giving feedback, delegation, confidence, managing up…
