Discover more about what you’ll learn in our Leadership Development Program (LDP).
” LDP is an opportunity to focus on YOU and learn key items that are just about you. It is helpful to expose the personal and professional areas to focus on. You will make a lot of connections across different industries that you can count on in the future.
Monica Garagola Manager, DTE EnergyLDP is a deeply personal, research-based and feedback-intensive learning experience. In just five days, you’ll gain a clear perspective on who you are as a leader, discover how to find balance so you can thrive in your personal and professional environments and forge a clear path forward with ongoing support for whatever the future may hold.
LDP is a comprehensive three-phase approach to learning which includes pre-program assessment, a week of face-to-face training and coaching, innovative exercises, peer feedback, post-program coaching and application back in the workplace.
In the weeks prior to the program, participants work independently by completing required pre-work, including assessments, micro-lessons and reviewing assessment results to build insights and make the best use of the in-person classroom experience to come. Participants also conduct a structured pre-program interview with a boss to set the stage for transferring learning back to the organization.
Two weeks prior to the in-person session, the LDP Host — who will support participants online throughout their journey — will host a Live Online Kickoff.
For five days, participants are immersed in their personal data, experiential activities and skill-building exercises. Led by highly qualified faculty, LDP is a safe—but challenging—environment for learning, practice, reflection and goal setting.
Following the live learning experience, participants apply and sustain their learning with a package of resources.
