The Experience

 
The work-friendly six-session live online learning journey contains ample formal and informal opportunities to practically explore the curriculum and network with your peers, allowing you to receive feedback and gauge your progress in real-time and apply what you’ve learned immediately at work.
Leadership Action Plan

With the benefit of peer feedback and bringing together the insights gained from the program sessions, participants craft an in-depth leadership action plan that will guide their post-program career choices and professional development.

Coaching

Divided into group coaching circles, participants serve as peer mentors during the program and as members of a virtual developmental community afterward. Each coaching circle will work with a professional coach to ensure progress is tracked and goals are achieved.

Action Journal

This comprehensive reference resource is the compass that will guide your progress through the institute. It contains personal application questions, space to note your “ah-ha” moments and additional post-program readings. In essence, the Action Journal tells you what you can expect from each session and how it applies to your workplace. It will also help you to understand what is expected of you.

Adapt, Catalyze, Transform

 
The ACT Learning Model
Adapt

The first phase of the program is structured to help participants adapt as leaders. Adapting is the process of preparing for change. And this foundational work begins with a series of virtual learning opportunities:

• Participants engage in a kick-off web conference that provides them with a program overview

• They complete a personal assessment and a Leadership Competencies Assessment, along with additional pre-program assignments

• They engage in their first individual coaching session

Catalyze

The second phase of the program prepares participants to catalyze their learning through the development of a wide array of leadership skills that help them communicate their vision and inspire others to join them in driving organizational change. During these sessions, participants are provided with the appropriate tools to help them translate their learning into actionable next steps at work.

Transform

The third phase of the program helps participants transform their individual professional goals into organizational action. This transformation hinges on how they apply the first two phases of their learning journey to inspire those around them in pursuit of innovative strategies to create organizational value — in short, how successfully they can adapt and catalyze.

Progress is tracked in their Leadership Action Plan, a tool customized to their personal development goals but designed to facilitate the application of their expanded skill sets to their organization’s needs.

In addition, participants engage in two more individual coaching sessions and two webinars with their “coaching clusters” — peer groups convened to focus on application of program learning.
