Conner Academy Graduate Testimonials

Two of the key pain points that I hear from change practitioners (and ones that I’ve heard for years) are:

  • I don’t have a great relationship with my sponsor or key leadership stakeholders – we seem to be on different pages, and it’s causing friction.
  • No one listens to me, I’m getting blocked, or there’s resistance to change – and I have no control.

I’ve also experienced these pain points – time and time again. But things shifted when I did an 18-week program a few years ago with a fantastic cohort and a change leader with well over 40 years of experience – Daryl Conner (It’s called the Advanced Trusted Advisor Program, or ATA, IYKYK). It changed how I approach change, especially from an intrapersonal point of view, and it fostered a new level of confidence.

I LOVED this course! I often refer back to the learnings when I hit a speed bump. It’s great that Daryl caught up with Eloise to discuss these important topics and share these perspectives. Thanks for sharing Michelle!

Daryl Conner helped me shift to being super comfortable with failure. I also learnt that 90% of change is about installation, and you need true buy-in and ownership of executives to get to be an advisor for the other 10% change that is real transformation. This program is a great opportunity for learning.

I encourage all of my Australian network to look very closely at this. One of Daryl Conner’s previous courses was a complete game-changer for me. Thank you, Daryl, for being so inclusive of your offerings!

To my peers in the program, you may see the name Daryl Conner in our textbooks. His Advanced Trusted Advisor Program is hands-down one of the best PD opportunities I’ve taken on in my career. I encourage you to do yourself the favor of looking into this for continued enrichment!

This was hands down one of the best learning experiences of my career. Personally and professionally challenging and so rewarding. Thank you, Daryl.

Daryl Conner, thank you for providing such an exquisite learning experience! I have grown immensely both personally and professionally as a result of this work.

I can second Theresa’s sentiment. The ATA program is a career-changing experience.

I totally agree with Theresa! I highly recommend this transformational program. Unique and career/life-changing.

I just finished the Conner Partners Advanced Trusted Advisor program with an incredibly talented cohort of change practitioners. We were so fortunate to be led by the phenom that is Daryl Conner himself through the 18-week program.

Daryl imparted his priceless knowledge and experience and challenged us to up our game on multiple dimensions to serve as high-impact trusted advisors to senior leaders driving transformational change.

I have tremendous gratitude and humility, ready to continue on my mastery path.
