Most talent development programs drive improvement in business measures–just not necessarily all the improvement.

Taking full credit for the improvement in performance measures is a bit unfair–and, quite frankly, will diminish the credibility of the results you report. That is why it is important to give credit where credit is due by taking a step to isolate the effects of your programs and projects on improvement in measures that matter.

Isolating the effects of the programs is not about isolating programs from other activities in the organization—far from it. In fact, by isolating the effects of your program, you’re positioning yourself as a better business partner. Doing so enables you to explain how you know the investments in programs are driving results and help your clients allocate resources to the different programs, projects, and activities in which they invest.

During this session, you will learn three techniques to isolate the effects of talent development programs. Case studies will demonstrate each technique. Participants will calculate the improvement in business measures due to the programs described in the case studies. Remember to bring a calculator.

Participants should be able to:

1. Describe the importance of isolating the effects of programs
2. Apply at least three techniques to isolate the effects of programs
3. Determine when to use each of the techniques covered in this session

Women leaders face a unique set of challenges in the workplace, with biases – whether deliberate or unconscious – holding us back. With a narrower range of behavior expected from us, we may experience “double binds.”

For example, when we are confident and assertive, we can be criticized for speaking too loudly or too often; when we are quieter, we’re more likely to be told to speak with more confidence and assertiveness.

In this webinar, Christa will explore:

• What it means to be a woman leader – or aspiring leader – in the world today.
• What common blind spots do we face on our professional journeys?
• How can we navigate around and accelerate beyond them?
• What can people of all genders do to recognize the work of women leaders and empower them to be successful in the workplace?

Join Christa for this important and timely conversation and help shape better outcomes for all of your employees.
