Leadership Development Program Design

Over the years we have successfully helped many customize a leadership program that is tailored specifically for their organization; one that combines some of our programs with some of their own or other outside vendors. We have also won competitive bids with large organizations to design leadership development programs that span the leadership spectrum from the high potential successor or new leader to executive level. Several clients have leadership programs that have been running for nearly a decade that we designed which include delivery of our programs as well as their own supplemental training.

We are proud of the work we do on program design because our mindset is to solve the problem at hand, not to sell our program. If some of our training fits the need then we are thrilled to provide it but, if not, we are excited to help design something that works for the client and meets their need. We are also very open to collaborating with other providers and consultants who are experts in their field to give the client the best of the best.

The Essence of Leadership

The Essence of Leadership program utilizes our proprietary workbook which focuses predominantly on the individual as a leader. The program takes the participant through a journey of self-reflection exploring questions like:

  • What are my core values?
  • What qualifies me to be a leader?
  • What is my personal vision?
  • Participants learn and utilize a continuous improvement model for themselves that they can also apply to their teams or organizations.
  • They also develop a personal vision and action plan and will walk away with clarity of purpose and what they can and should focus on relative to their development, starting with a 90-day plan.
  • We believe that being aware of one’s strengths and personal vision will enable him or her to inspire those they lead by being a model of clarity and purpose.

Facilitator Training

Facilitator Training is the flagship course of Berkshire Group and is a critical element in the personal and professional development of anyone in a position that requires organizing groups of people to accomplish goals, plan projects, solve problems or have productive meetings of any kind.

What participants will receive is not just theory. This material has been tried and proven in the real-life operations of large and small organizations. Our training is effective and successful where it matters most: where people engage people. Good Facilitation skills dramatically increase the productivity and effectiveness of any interaction, whether in a group or team meeting, a workshop or even a person to person dialogue.

Our goals are to teach participants the role of facilitation, give a set of proven facilitation tools and provide training in the use of those tools. These tools include practical techniques for developing supportive environments, dealing with dysfunctional behavior, developing consensus and ownership.
