One and done won't get it. #Leaders need to hear it, feel it, practice it, and then do it and then hear it again. It takes four years to earn an engineering degree. Why does anyone think someone can transform to a leader in a three-day workshop? It's a process and has to be practiced and reinforced.

We are getting closer to a beautiful, deep-dive leadership development program created just recently by Dr. John J. Scherer: Purpose, Power & Peace: A 90-Day Leadership Development Intensive. Dr. John J. Scherer, together with his close colleagues and cheerleaders on many organizational levels, created this program with an attention to the modern, remote-first lifestyle, adapting the content to the needs of always-busy, active leaders, who yet wish to take their development to the next level. "You don't need to come to me. I will come to you, wherever you are" was John's intention. This spring, you have a chance to still join this unique, lightweight, lean yet very intense and impactful program. Sounds interesting? 🌞💪 In this 90-day, blended learning program, you will be able to: 👉Get a greater sense of Purpose, Power & Peace in your life - as a 'must-have' triad for future-ready leaders. 👉Look at your self-realization efforts from a new perspective and make better decisions as to what you would like to change in your life. 👉If you are in the transition period - either between career paths or on the same one but with a significant shift ahead, it will help you to identify what is out there 'next' for you. 👉It will give you greater contact with your authentic self.  👉It will increase your self-confidence and joy in life due to the above discoveries.

See you there and in the program! #ikigai #leadership #leadershipjourney #coaching #futureready

While it may sound like a sales pitch, below is why MLA pushes for a program over time rather than a hit-it-and-quit-it engagement. #LeadershipDevelopment happens over time not a workshop. Want to move the needle? Invest in your people!

We've been talking and thinking a lot about what makes a great leader lately. Great leadership is a make-or-break factor that sets apart the most successful organizations, and we've all felt the difference when you're working somewhere with truly exceptional leadership. (I know I've been lucky to!) Unfortunately, creating leadership development programs that actually have an impact isn't always easy. For example, we hear a lot from L&D leaders that they don’t have time to customize their learning. But customization is really important, especially for leadership development programs. That's how you meet learners where they are with content that reflects their lived reality, and how you ensure they can actually put their new skills into practice in their day-to-day work. If you're a smaller L&D team, you may not be able to customize ALL your content. But there are still ways to tweak the material to meet your learners' needs! In our experience, even three to five brief interviews with learners and stakeholders can help you surface insights that you can use to weave in relevant case studies and examples that will give your learning more impact. Here's a checklist of questions that can help you get started. 😀 If you found this tip helpful, there is more where this came from! Next Shift Learning is rolling out our new guide for how to create great leadership programs (no matter the size of your L&D team). It's all based on the challenges we've seen L&D leaders encounter, and the solutions we've seen work to overcome them.

'You’re Back from Your Leadership Development Program. Now What?' As a participant, how often have you asked (yourself) this question? As a facilitator, how often have you asked this question? AND: what has been the answer? Having experience in both roles, I can see similarities: this boost of motivation during the program, the fun, the learnings, etc. - and then reality hits. Back to work. And the good intentions? The plans? The behavior changes? Well, ... There are enough excuses (on purpose I am using this word instead of 'reasons') which are being mentioned to 'explain' the zero change between pre- and post-program. Actually, there are a couple of easy and very cost-effective techniques to make development stick/happen and to apply your learnings: 🕐 Design and develop a program that is a journey with different formats and channels 🕑 Commit (in writing) to very specific activities/actions before/during/after the program 🕒 Find at least one accountability partner with whom to regularly check in, measure and celebrate progress, and adjust activities/actions where beneficial 🕓 Learn more And read this insightful HBR article - whose title triggered my post. Writing the post first and then reading (and sharing) the article, has been a first time for me. Enjoy whatever learning you are currently doing - and enjoy practicing your learnings. #learning #development #behaviour #change #impact https://lnkd.in/eW8fXcDA
