Don't take our word for it—hear directly from those who raised their game with Pascal.

"Pinnacle has been instrumental in my development as a manager, equipping me with the skills to absorb, interpret, and shape my experiences effectively. It has helped me weed through the myriad of choices, giving me insight I might be missing, best practices from other's experiences and the foresight to probe my theories and think through things before acting."

Juan M.

Team Lead

"The content is both insightful and applicable to my daily work, and the ability to connect with a coach directly has added a lot of value."

Nelson T

Squad Lead

“Overall very good and responsive.”

Zach Z.

Software Engineer

"I liked the engagement and the ideas on how to solve the problems being faced."

Qaim R.

Manager

"The program is customized for each participant. The coach focuses on recognizing the strength and areas of improvement of each individual, offering tailored guidance to enhance personal growth."

Manoj M.

Team lead

"I liked the structure of it, the texts on Slack are quite an easy way of going through, I have the freedom of reading whenever I can. Also making your direct reports to review you and then go through it (your weak points, etc.), I believe that's the way to become better."

João G.

Manager

"Good insights and knowledge available out there was very convenient to not have a set time having the convenience to Slack with the coach and bounce off questions."

Shaival S.

Manager, Hardware Engineering

ChatGPT is brilliant but generic. The downside of compiling the world's information is your responses are the lowest common denominator of that knowledge. When it comes to leadership, the devil is in the details: nuance of the individual human dynamics at play in any given situation is what matters.

‍

Pascal, on the other hand, is a 24/7 companion that provides deeply personalized and contextual guidance, enriched by your employee data and actual meeting data. Here are just a few of the key differences - Pascal is:

Personalized to the individual: When coaching or providing guidance, Pascal takes into account hundreds of different data points on individual employees, from function, role, level to past performance reviews, career aspirations, team dynamics, meeting transcripts, and so much more. He'll function differently for someone in sales than someone in engineering, differently for an IC than a VP, and different even two people with the exact same role. Rather than generically answer "how should I give feedback", Pascal will help roleplay a specific conversation with a specific employee with full knowledge of that employee's communication style, personal dynamics, projects, etc. (based on actually watching them interact with you).This increases the value of coaching tenfold.

Customizable to your culture: It takes wildly different skills to succeed at Google, JP Morgan, Walmart, or a small startup. Any good coach should adapt to that culture, and Pascal is no different. You can customize Pascal with your values, industry knowledge, competencies, culture documentation, etc.

Proactively in the flow of work: Pascal sits in Slack, Teams, Zoom, Meet, etc. to meet your employees where they are. Pascal is also proactive, offering feedback and opportunities to engage after every meeting, daily, and weekly. This means you don't have to rely on employees going to ChatGPT when they think of it. Instead, Pascal will help them before they realize they need the help.

Uniquely trained to coach: Though Pascal looks like one entity, there are dozens of different agents executing different tasks on the backend to deliver a seamless, enriched coaching experience. Pascal is trained by ICF-certified coaches and imbued with our proprietary knowledge base to supplement any training materials you may have.

Protected with custom guardrails: Pascal enables you to define what you want to let employees ask, when to escalate to the people team, and most importantly, what not to respond to. The worst case scenario is a lawsuit when a manager fires their report because "ChatGPT told me I should" (which it will, in addition to giving you the talking points to do so). Pascal won't allow this to happen, escalating appropriately and involving you in the process.
