How It all began…

The SwiftLeadership® Café, a Swift HR Solutions product, began as a passion project between early-stage Zillow’s first VP of Human Resources, Shannon Swift, and one of Southwest Airline’s early training development team members, Delise Simmons. Their goal was to create happier employees by developing amazing managers. They wanted to create what they were unable to find in the marketplace – a continuous manager training program which:

  • Allows companies to deliver training content onsite (and now virtually) within one-hour increments

  • Is designed to allow leaders inside the organization to actually facilitate the content themselves

  • Increases leadership capacity at the organization’s pace

  • Builds stronger leadership team relationships

  • Helps the leadership team to establish a common language

  • Facilitates a learning culture within their organization

  • Is cost-effective and scalable

The first iteration of this innovative product was called “SwiftLeadership®-in-a-Box” because all of the materials and content necessary to facilitate an internal “leader-led” manager training program were delivered to companies in a box.   

Over the past 10 years, with input and testing from a team of senior HR generalists, early customer feedback, and a very clever content designer from the Swift HR Solutions Team, Kendra Fuller, the SwiftLeadership® Café has evolved and grown to 20+ modules/leadership topics packaged within an easy-to-use web-based portal providing everything needed to develop leaders and increase leadership capacity on an ongoing basis.

We love hearing success stories from our growing customer group and look forward to the opportunity to help you create happier employees!
