Meridian, the AI-assisted platform behind Edstellar leadership coaching.
Meridian brings the program into one place for the leader, the coach and your CHRO. AI handles the preparation and paperwork, so every hour of leadership coaching is spent on the conversation that matters.

Step 1 of 6
Nominate leaders
Your CHRO or program admin adds each leader on Meridian with their role, objective and focus areas. The leader agrees to take part.
