LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT Programming & COACHING
Development: Not Just One-And-Done
Gone are the days of “one-and-done” training classes – generic instructor-delivered courses meant for all leaders. At Leadership Variations, our fully customized development methodology is based on the principles of adult learning and the needs of a transformed, post-pandemic world. Our offerings:
- Provide continuous, blended learning and experiential exercises to reinforce concepts over time.
- Accommodate different learning styles (virtual, in-person, bite-sized, integrated.)
- Scale to larger (management training) or more targeted/white glove (hi-po) audiences.
- Can be facilitated by our team or presented in a train-the trainer format for your team.
