Why Chicago teams bring in Hallett Leadership
Leaders who get results through people
Managers shift from doing the work themselves to getting strong results through their teams.
Better communication and decisions
One-on-one sessions sharpen communication, decision-making, conflict resolution and emotional intelligence.
Proven method, not theory
The Discovery Model blends behavioral science with experiential learning, so lessons land in daily work.
Stronger retention and engagement
When you invest in people, they stay. Teams report more loyalty, collaboration and fresh ideas.
On-site or virtual
Work in person with your Chicago team, or meet by Zoom so location and travel never slow you down.
Leadership development training options for Chicago organizations
Every program starts with your people and your goals. Dean Hallett developed and taught this material for more than 15 years at 20th Century Fox, and now brings it to companies of all sizes across 30 states, including Illinois.
The focus is leadership from the inside out. Participants learn to stop automatic reactions, look at the real options in front of them, and choose the best course of action in the moment.

Track record behind the training
“Dean's years of real-world, executive experiences at The Walt Disney Company and Fox Studios was a real differentiating factor as an executive coach. His ability to pull from his own efforts, combined with pragmatic, field-tested approaches and solutions, allowed me to really raise my leadership capabilities.”
“The ALP teams' recommendations pushed executives to think differently about critical business issues and often resulted in the launch of a new initiative or an organizational change. I would highly recommend this program because it not only developed the talent within the ALP, but it also fostered an overall culture of collaboration and innovation.”
“ALP was the most valuable program I participated in during my 12-year tenure at Fox. Despite already having an MBA and a decade of executive experience, the program provided a more personal and reflective approach that helped me leverage my strengths, develop heightened self-awareness, and build the courage to be a results-producing leader under all types of business circumstances.”
