Developing Your Leadership

Developing Your Leadership is a leadership development experience for executives and senior leaders who want to lead more intentionally and gain a clearer understanding of how their leadership decisions show up in the workplace. The experience focuses on helping leaders examine their leadership style, skills, communication, and decision-making, and reflect on how those choices shape the day-to-day experience of work across teams.

Program Overview

Developing Your Leadership is delivered through ten one-on-one leadership development sessions, typically held bi-weekly over approximately five months.

Each session builds on the last and focuses on a core aspect of leadership that influences how leadership is experienced in practice. The work is grounded in the leader’s real responsibilities, challenges, and operating environment and is designed to support clarity, reflection, and intentional leadership development over time.

What’s Included

• Leadership Style and Skills Assessments
  Structured inputs designed to help clarify leadership style, skills, and areas of focus that influence how leadership shows up in practice.

• One-on-One Leadership Development Sessions
  Ten 60-minute conversations focused on leadership style, skills, communication, decision-making, and how leadership choices show up in the workplace.

• Custom Leadership Development Plan
  A leader-owned development plan created early in the experience that clarifies leadership priorities, areas for development, and where the leader intends to be more intentional in how they lead.

• Leadership Action Planning
  A structured action-planning conversation later in the experience that translates insight into practical leadership actions aligned with priorities and ongoing leadership responsibilities.
