Leadership Development
Training to strengthen public sector leadership.
This training helps leaders demonstrate the behaviours expected under the GoC’s key leadership competencies:
- Creating Vision and Strategy
- Mobilizing People
- Upholding Integrity and Respect
- Collaborating with Partners and Stakeholders
- Achieving Results
- Promoting Innovation and Guide Change
What I offer
The training uses a mix of reading, discussion and mentoring. It includes a review of clients’ own leadership situations to:
- Address challenging situations successfully
- Demonstrate expected leadership behaviours in daily work
- Meet performance agreement competency objectives
I developed this approach over four years as a member of ESDC’s Mentoring Program, and have refined it further since launching my business in 2022.
Discussion topics also include specific challenges and interests, such as:
- Maintaining work-life balance
- Leading through difficult times
- Briefing senior executives
- Difficult conversations and performance management
- Ethical situations
- Getting the experience for advancement
How training works
Individual training starts with a discovery session. We then create a training plan and schedule, with specific discussion topics to meet client goals.
Each 60-minute session explores topics as follow:
- Review the leadership competency or topic – what is expected and why
- Discuss reading material (ex. Harvard Business Review)
- Analyze a real-life situation – what is challenging, available tools, competencies at play and how to apply them
- Share my own experience, if relevant
- Consider next steps
Sessions are usually every 3-4 weeks.
Discussions are fully confidential. What happens in training, stays in training.
Group training follow a similar process, but with group discussion sessions lasting about 90 minutes.
Custom group training
