Pierre recommends having one training workshop for 1/2 day per month.

These workshops consist of relevant, applicable, and highly interactive learning experiences. Participants will encounter, understand and later apply leadership approaches and management techniques grounded in best practices. Each evidence-based training workshop design is mindful of participants’ various learning styles and values experiential learning in keeping with adult learning principles.

The leadership roundtable is a space within which various learning activities can occur but with a notably practical orientation and the absence of teaching or training in a traditional sense.

The roundtable would typically happen in the afternoon after a morning of training.

The main activities are case studies using fictitious and real-life leadership challenges participants face, one-to-one peer coaching and engaging guest speakers.

Dr. Tammy Carroll, Ph.D., leads this portion of the program and is involved as a guest faculty throughout the program. She is a certified psychometrician and an industrial and organizational psychologist who supports the leadership development initiative with appropriate individual assessments, including the potential for a 360 assessment. Participants receive a confidential debriefing and coaching session with Dr. Carroll.

The Psychometric Assessment seeks to enhance participants' self-awareness as a core requirement of their leadership journey. The exact nature of the assessments and which tools are to be used will be determined with you.

Our best bet to facilitate the participants' ability to transfer their learning into behavioural change that leads to positive outcomes with their teams and departments is to insert an accountability component.

The practice of accountability is dependent on your organizational structure and culture. However, we have had success with participant-led manager debriefs held regularly. Participants inform their managers what they've learned, how they will apply their learning, what their supervisor should be looking out for, and how they can support and reinforce the change in behaviour.

One-to-one coaching is another powerful mechanism to increase the likelihood that learners build their leadership capacity for tomorrow and apply their newfound leadership tools and approaches today.

Some members, either during or after the program, may benefit from one-on-one coaching with Pierre Battah or Dr. Tammy Carroll. Program participants will also benefit from peer coaching with another cohort member during the program.

There are many ways those who have completed the program can pay it forward and continue to be of service to others.

Program alumni can join a subsequent cohort as a guest facilitator or speaker. They may choose to keep the learning going through quarterly get-togethers or informal gatherings with other past program members to build a community of leadership practice.
