Now is the time to invest in the people who oversee the execution of your organization’s strategies.
Those most responsible for an organization’s success or failure work on the front lines. Equip your leaders to communicate, coach, train, motivate and develop others. Humanergy and HRM Innovations have partnered to create a series of twelve half-day courses that front-load follow-through and ensure application on the job.
How is this training different?
The goal of this series of courses is to help supervisors learn, and most importantly, improve performance on the job, by:
• High-quality content. Researched, current, field-tested and user-friendly materials.
• Experiential learning. From day one, sessions focus on examples drawn from the participants themselves.
• Action planning and review. At every session participants create a plan for applying the training, then report back on actions taken and lessons learned at the next session.
• Bosses are involved. Each participant’s boss receives a monthly email with suggested questions to ask their direct report to encourage application of learning.
Training methods
Group Coaching
“Off the shelf” training doesn’t build leaders. Humanergy and HRM Innovations start with the reality and experiences of participants, and then infuse proven best practices, tools and experiential activities. Rather than being merely an engaging event, the focus is sustainable change in on-the-job behaviors. To make this happen, participants start practicing skills from the beginning to the end of the training experience.
Action learning
Rather than being merely an engaging event, the focus is sustainable change in on-the-job behaviors. To make this happen, participants start practicing skills from the beginning to the end of the training experience.
Action learning means participants can apply what is learned immediately afterward back on the job. At the end of each session, participants make written commitments to take a specific action. Participants’ bosses are then emailed with suggested questions to ask their direct report. This heightens the accountability to follow through on learning. At the next training session, participants report back to the group about their actions and insights and receive group coaching.
This learn-by-doing approach to training directly connects a learning event to behaviors that are changing and improving. The training content is front-of-mind and implemented in daily performance – a far different experience from most other training events which generally “reside” in a manual on the shelf.
Certificate requirements
Participants must attend at least ten of the twelve sessions in order to receive the High Impact Leadership Training certificate. Each session builds upon the previous ones; lessons learned and best practices from one course will be applied to the next. Participants are strongly encouraged to enroll in the full series, however, individual session registration is also available.
