Training Intelligence: Building Resilience
Leadership Development Programs often present major challenges:They usually begin with a journey of self-awareness and include various assessment tools (360 questionnaire, self – assessment tools, group coaching, one to one coaching). In some cases participants become overloaded with some findings and project doubt and negativity to the program, to the partner, the Organization and the HR team.
In these cases, resilience is key. The learning partner has to collaborate closely with the instructors and with the participants in order to turn the program around, to diffuse positivity and confidence, to fine tune the process. Feedback by every participant is taken on the spot and the curriculum is automatically adjusted and enriched with experiential and bonding team activities in order to reverse the climate.
