Most companies promote individuals to leadership roles first then ask them to learn “new” leadership behaviors like providing feedback, collaborating, solving problems, coaching others and more.

Asking people to change their behavior is hard enough, but coupling behavior change with a change in role/title AND with new functional responsibilities is too much for most people to be able to achieve.

Your organization will have more success if you begin to instill leadership skills in your employees early in their career so that “leadership” is simply standard operating procedure.

This session offers six activities to easily and cost-effectively develop leadership skills in – not only your future leaders – but all employees in the organization. A rising tide lifts all boats, after all, right?

Session participants will be able to 

• Identify six ways to develop leadership behaviors in employees without formal training

You’re ready to figure out whether your training programs are working, worth the investment of time and other resources, and meeting their goals. What tools do you need to conduct a training program evaluation?

Program evaluation is about applying systematic methods to collect, analyze, interpret, and communicate data about a program to understand its design, implementation, outcomes, or impacts.

Simply put, it’s about asking good questions, gathering the right data, and using what we learn to make good decisions.

A robust program description and logic model are powerful tools that can inform a program evaluation plan. Well-designed surveys and focus groups are some of the most used tools for data collection.

In this session Sheila will provide a brief overview of five phases of program evaluation and dive into key considerations for creating these tools.

In this session, attendees will learn:

• The 5 phases of a program evaluation
• Why a robust program description is essential
• How to develop a program logic model
• Key considerations for creating surveys and focus group protocols
