Sounding Board, Inc. Named Bronze Winner in the 2021 Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Technology Awards

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Dec. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sounding Board, Inc, the first customizable leadership coaching platform that combines technology and coaching to drive measurable business impact, was recognized with a coveted Brandon Hall Group bronze award for tech excellence in the Best Advance in Online Coaching Tools category. Sounding Board's award was announced earlier this month on the heels of the company's recent news of its Series B fund.

"It is exciting to see the industry recognize the breadth and depth of our solution at Sounding Board - 54% of companies plan to increase their use of internal and external coaching to deliver coaching and Sounding Board will be the technology platform to enable that at scale," Christine Tao, Co-founder & CEO of Sounding Board.

Having started out with the vision to democratize access to leadership coaching within an organization, Sounding Board took to developing a Coaching Management Platform that is easy to manage, measure and scale. The unified, AI-powered platform lifts the administrative burden of deploying, managing, and measuring complex coaching programs with a secure, encrypted, end-to-end environment and seamless integrations and open APIs.

"Technology has never been more critical for success in human capital management than it is today. We were thrilled to see many new innovations in all areas, but especially related to the future of work," said Brandon Hall, Group Chief Operating Officer and awards program head Rachel Cooke. "Thanks to the many innovations from our Excellence in Technology winners, organizations have many compelling options as they make important decisions on how to leverage technology to drive their people strategies."

A panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, and Brandon Hall Group senior analysts and executives evaluated the entries based upon the following criteria: Product, Unique differentiators, Value and Measurable results.
