Leadership Development Program

Build effective leaders through training, practice, and feedback without implementation and tracking headaches.

BENEFITS

How is this program different from a typical
leadership development program?

Instead of just providing engaging learning experiences, this program recognizes that true behavior change can only happen with practice and feedback. The 12-week program provides time and structure for both—blending live experiences with self-paced training to maximize learning and implementation. The format is designed to deliver measurable results and is perfectly calibrated to make space for deep thinking and application while accommodating the realities of ongoing life and work.

You are seeing signs of trouble in your workplace, like:

Rumors, gossip, and conflict

Micromanagement and mistrust

Low moral and disengagement

High turnover and absenteeism

Disruption, headwinds, and external threats

This program is right for your organization if…

You want to implement leadership training, but aren’t sure where to start—or what topics to cover

Lack the time to develop comprehensive training and provide ongoing program support

Have trouble accommodating everyone’s schedule

Need a clear way to measure your training’s impact

Niche Academy’s Leadership Development Program solves…

The difficulty of adapting training to your specific organizational needs

The problem of facilitating training at specific times

The struggle to measure ROI

PROGRESS CYCLE

Current and emerging leaders will learn how to apply the 4-Step Progress Cycle

Evaluating results produces fresh goals and the cycle repeats.

A Clear ROI

Measuring the return on your investment happens in three ways:

Assessing conceptual mastery through quizzes and other activities

Reviewing documentation of the specific changes participants are making in response to the training

Learning what metrics really matter to your organization and helping participants establish patterns of accountability for those metrics

TESTIMONIALS

What participants in the program have to say

This is different from other leadership development programs I've done. The 'experiments' concept, for example, is helping me to communicate better with colleagues. The recordings are great when I have to miss a session and I like the regular input from others. It's nice to not feel alone!

Director Kari Ward

Good things are happening because I'm doing this training. It's helping me to look at the big picture. I appreciate the way I can go back and review when I have to miss a coaching session.

Director of Public Services Nancy Higgs

The training is well structured and builds logically. It's changed how I see the relationship between personal goals and team goals. The recordings and the asynchronous tutorials help me still participate when the live coaching doesn't work with my schedule.

Administrative Services Manager Therese Lyons
IN-PERSON

Optional Team Intensive

Set the stage for the entire experience with a one-day team-specific intensive. We’ll send one of our credentialed coaches to a location of your choosing to work directly and exclusively with your team. This is a substantive and unforgettable experience that will enhance the impact of your leadership team far into the future.
