What should be the structure of her program?

What elements will it include?

Program Structure

40% self-awareness/

development & feedback

30% learning through & with others

30% application of concepts/

skills & stretching/

challenging yourself

Other considerations

Involve your senior leadership

External partner for assessments/debrief

Every actionable assignment tailored to learner with manager/director involvement

Cohorts/Partners for projects – outside of participant’s functional area

Get participants out of their comfort zone – the only way to grow, develop deeper connections

Other considerations

Teambuilding at the beginning of every in-person session.

Remember, it’s the participant’s program. Always check in…what’s working? What’s not? What has to be adjusted? (Flexibility!)

Provide the calendar/structure at beginning of program.

Exposure to something unique in the business

Pay it forward
