Individual Contributors
Many of the skill paths offered in our Professional Skills Curriculum are designed to strengthen both professional and leadership development—empowering individual contributors to enhance their personal effectiveness, collaborate more effectively, and influence others with confidence.
Our updated curriculum provides a variety of opportunities to build key competencies that can be applied at any stage of your career. Additionally, Level 1 of the Manager Foundations program offers valuable insights that can benefit those aspiring to leadership roles in the future.
Stay tuned for more details on upcoming programs and opportunities to grow your skills.
Additional Programing:
- Lead 4 Success®
- Offered in partnership with the Center for Creative Leadership, this program's teaching model is built on the premise that leadership is not defined by one’s job title, that leadership is a process rather than a person, and that whether or not one is a formal leader, one is engaged in the process of leadership.
- Improvisation as Leadership Practice
-
What can improvisation teach us about how we listen, collaborate, and lead when we do not have all the answers?
In this highly interactive session, participants will take part in accessible group exercises that strengthen connection, attention, adaptability, and the ability to build on different perspectives
Drawing on improv principles, participants will practice listening closely, responding in the moment, and continuing conversations in productive ways. Come ready to move, experiment, and discover practical ways to bring greater presence and possibility into your leadership.
Note: This is a pilot leadership development program for Northwestern individual contributors, led by Megan Redfearn, the Talent Development Program Manager. (As classes are scheduled they will be published here in myHR Learn.)
