Last December, we delivered a 2-day program to under-represented minority women at a large technology company and were invited back to share the leadership program with a broader audience of mid-level participants within the organization.
While objectives shifted slightly between the programs, we focused on developing a concrete career strategy map and layering in additional tools to help participants achieve their goals. This included clearly recognizing strengths, identifying areas of opportunity, and creating a personal board of directors to support and advocate for participants.
Across the three programs delivered to-date, we continued to track pre- and post- session benchmarking feedback. On average across the sessions, we saw an increase in agreement on key indicators:
My company values me and my contributions: +6%
My company supports me in defining my career plan: +18%
There are opportunities for me to progress in my organization: +15%
I possess the tools needed to achieve my career goals: +35%
I have a clear vision for my role at my company in the next 2 years: +20%
We’re looking forward to taking this program to more participants in 2020!
