In this episode of Global Chats, host Dan Lake (Global Head of Delivery at Adeption) and co-host Corey Criswell (Chief Leadership Officer, Americas) are joined by Danielle Willinger from GALLO. Together, they dive into the practical realities of scaling leadership development across thousands of leaders and five distinct leader levels.

Danielle shares how her team built executive alignment, created infrastructure for rapid iteration, and maintained a deeply personalized participant experience while delivering development at scale.

Key conversation points:

• Building stakeholder trust early: How to gain executive buy-in for non-traditional, continuous development before you have full proof of concept.
• Personalization at scale: Practical ways to move away from generic, one-size-fits-all training to role-specific, context-driven leader tracks.
• Operational agility: How to design clear governance and feedback loops that allow you to adapt on the fly.
• Manager engagement: Strategies for turning supervisors into active accountability partners in their team’s development journey.
