Custom Leadership Training: Building the Foundation for Future Leaders
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to leadership training– each business benefits from different methodologies in unique ways. With a whole host of training options available to learners, it can be challenging to identify the most optimal employee learning experiences.
At WDHB, we work one-on-one with our clients to understand the intricacies of their organizations, then create custom leadership development programs for tangible change.
The Need for Custom Leadership Training
As a company with over 30 years of experience designing and delivering experiential learning and development programs, we keep the following principles in mind when developing custom leadership training programs.
Focus on the Learner
We believe the learner should be at the core of every program design. With each needs assessment, we consider the learner’s background and goals to create a more holistic learning experience. As we tailor each program to our clients’ organizational strengths, needs and interests, we design custom leadership development content that is relevant, engaging and impactful.
Experiential Learning
The most effective learning happens through hands-on experiences. Our training programs are designed to offer a variety of highly interactive formats, which align with experiential learning approaches like Kolb’s Learning Model. Participants are introduced to unique locations and settings, exposing learners to unique approaches. We organize thought-provoking dialogues that encourage divergent thinking and information retention.
Customization
One size does not fit all when it comes to custom leadership training programs. We work closely with our clients to understand their unique challenges, goals and culture. We then tailor the training to address their specific needs and objectives.
Guided Application
Not only are our programs informative, they’re also highly practical. Through expert facilitation and hands-on workshops, we give participants tools and strategies that can be immediately applied to the workplace. This helps with information retention, ensuring that participants see a tangible return on their investment in the program.
Comprehensive Participant Experience
We believe that creating a comprehensive experience for participants is an important aspect of designing impactful learning programs. In addition to delivering high-quality learning content, we also organize social and cultural activities, meals, free evenings and other elements to create a holistic and unforgettable experience for each learner.
