to work with executive level leaders to help create leadership teams that work cohesively
and effectively.
“Jennifer Ledet ‘facilileads’ leaderships retreats for the C-suites of organizations
in a wide variety of industries, as well as provides one-on-one leadership coaching,”
said Dean of the College of Business Antoinette Phillips.
From designing a comprehensive leadership training facilitation program to using
her certification of the behavioral assessment called “DiSC,” Ledet uses a variety
of tactics to help participants improve their leadership skills. Most of the information

management.

get them actively engaged,” said Phillips. “Participants report that they gained greater
insight and learned more about themselves and their co-workers from one of her sessions
than they did from other similar learning experiences.”
