For a lucky few, outstanding leadership skills come naturally to them. But for most of us, effective leadership has to be grown through well-designed and facilitated learning experiences that translate learning into on-the-job performance. Leadership tailored leadership development service allows organizations to develop the leadership competencies and culture they need to meet specific challenges and business demands. We offer high-impact custom-developed and off-the-shelf leadership development programs for tenured and newly promoted supervisors, managers, and senior leaders.

Our instructional programs include research-based instructional design principles that offer help to translate learning experiences into workplace performance. Aside from that, our trainers bring significant real-world expertise and quality leadership skills as former organizational leaders and executive coaches, working alongside your leaders to develop exceptional leadership qualities. 

Nourse Leadership offers four leadership development services: training needs assessment, custom program development and delivery, off-the-shelf program delivery, and mentoring program design. These services focus on developing learning experiences that give the necessary skills, knowledge, and confidence to succeed as a leader.

Before starting training at Nourse Leadership, we start first by establishing a deep understanding of your organization's performance expectations and needs. In essence, our goal is to know the gap between your managers' and leaders' desired performance and the current level of performance. After identifying this gap, we can then move to the training phase by deciding which aspects of this performance gap can be improved by a training program and which issues are associated with organizational performance barriers.

We believe that the most effective and practical leadership development programs are developed by first identifying the performance needs, organization cultural dynamics, success outcomes, and leadership challenges managers face. By defining these factors upfront, we can then guarantee that leadership and management development programs are high-effective and translate to on-the-job performance.

Here at Nourse Leadership, we believe that engaging impacted stakeholders are extremely important for building support for management and leadership development programs. We will collaborate with your talent development or training team to assess your organization's learning and performance needs using a variety of practices, including:

Our experience suggests that the most effective leadership programs include training materials and delivery methods that reflect an organization's unique culture, focus on participants' performance challenges, and integrate current research on how adults learn. However, a well-designed training program with inexperienced trainers can diminish its impact. At Nourse Leadership, we use trainers to deliver programs that have real-world experience as managers and can create a safe environment for learning to occur.

Nourse Leadership is equipped with an experienced team that will work with you to build a custom leadership development program that can eventually lead to higher performance levels for your present and future organizational leaders. Here's how our simple process works:

1. Identify a high-level curriculum map broken down by modules.

2. Develop specific objectives and designs for each module.

3. Create program materials, leveraging our existing library of training materials to accelerate the development process, and reduce program development costs.

4. Deliver pilot programs, if needed, to ensure the final program achieves its objectives. 

Eventually, we will help you implement the comprehensive program, leveraging our training and instructional design team's talent to guarantee a successful program. What makes our custom leadership development programs exceptional is that it can be delivered in-person or via webinar technology.

Leading organizations recognize the power of mentoring programs to augment their leadership development efforts as a means for building highly effective and resilient leaders. However, there are different kinds of mentoring programs nowadays. Nourse Leadership offers the best mentoring programs that provide a structured experience for both mentors and mentees as it allows flexibility to adapt to each mentee's unique needs. Moreover, well-designed mentoring programs include orientation training for both mentor and mentee about their role, outcomes, and the overall process.
