IMPACT COHORT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT 

Jill uses strategic and intuitive techniques to ensure that group members are maximizing their connections in the cohort, leading from their strengths, and overcoming blocks to their success. All professional development sessions are fully virtual. 

Session 1:  Building Trust

Trust is the number one value listed across all high-functioning teams.  Cohort members examine the psychological, social, and emotional components of building trust within themselves and their teams by examining their own conscious and unconscious processes for establishing trust. Members will leave with a deeper understanding of how trust is present, or not,  in their current team, as well as the tools to utilize and action steps to take to build trust and cohesion in their teams. 

Session 2:  Effective Communication

Effective communication - one-on-one, small group, and large group - is a crucial component of leadership. In this session, cohort members will discover their communication style, examine how it can be received by their team members, and practice skills to support more intentional, effective communication in any situation. 

Session 3: Equitable and Inclusive Leadership

Using authentic examples from the Impact Cohort, we will explore how conscious and unconscious biases may impact the ability to lead and build cohesion within teams. Leaders will discuss current challenges, identify their own and others’ biases, practice holding compassion, and receive support as they propose an actionable plan to build genuine cohesion in their teams. 

Session 4:  Actions that Align with Core Values

It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are”.  This quote by Roy Disney sets the framework by which Impact Cohort members will explore their personal and organizational values, identify where these values align and conflict, and analyze whether specific actions align with their core values. Individuals will practice making decisions in realistic situations to achieve team cohesion.

Session 5:  Leading Professional Development and Team Meetings

Building from skills in sessions one through four, Impact Cohort members will learn specific skills to inspire and empower their team members in small and large group presentations.  Leaders will examine exemplars, analyze their own tendencies, practice, and get feedback on professional development/team agenda.

Session 6: Action Planning- Culture, Team, Operations

With a focus on maximizing time and points of contact with themselves and team members, Impact Cohort members will do a deep dive into their current organization system, focusing on calendars, agendas, and action plans.  Leaders will stress-test their current systems, get feedback, and exemplars to support values-based, efficient points of contact and leading.
