Tips For Organizing An Interesting Leadership Development Training

By Virginia Green


After sometimes, managers and corporate leaders have to converge somewhere and refresh their leadership skills. These trainings are organized by one of the major corporations where people attend after paying small fees. However, if these meetings are not organized properly, you will get a low turnout which could be a loss especially if you cannot raise enough money to pay for the venue or the facilitators. To organize several successful and interesting meetings for leadership development training, enhance your skills with the ideas presented in this article.

Every meeting that brings different career women and men together must have a concrete theme. The title of the theme is what will determine whether people will attend or not. Therefore, it should be focused on the current issues in both business and corporate world. Research on the most disturbing issues and find their solution before including it in the invitation letter as the theme.

Having established the theme of the meeting you have to identify people who shall facilitate on different topics that shall be discussed during the exercise. The facilitators should have excelled in the delegated topics by either writing about the topics or working closer to people who develop what is going to be discussed. Find them and agree with them through written submissions that they shall facilitate that coaching.

How do you find the best venue for a training session that will take days? Taking the training in a venue that was used a year before is not wise. People enjoy learning in new environments and taking the workshop to an interesting venue could be more fruitful. However, you ought to consider the travel distance that will be covered by the participants because if the venue is far away from the city, only a few people can attend.

No coaching can be conducted on free basis apart from a small number of sponsored leaders. Before you decide on the amount of money that every participant shall pay, consider some costs such as venue hire, catering services, facilitation fee, and other costs that arise during the training. With these details, you will now make an informed decision on what a participant shall pay.

Prepare well-detailed invitation letters that will be manually and electronically delivered to the targeted organizations. Emails are the fastest means of making contact with a company management where letters make the invitation official. In these letters, ensure that details about contacts, venue, and directions are clear. As such, the participants will not encounter navigation difficulties.

A few days before the training is scheduled to start, start organizing everything in place. Table arrangement in the conference hall, boarding facilities, and catering services should be ready and arranged properly. Hygiene and level of comfort should be your top priority and concern.

Equipment hire is another thing that has to be taken care of some days before the beginning of the workshop. Get working speakers, microphones, projectors and audio-video machines ready for the facilitators. Also, make sure there is a backup system somewhere to avoid confusion when one of them fails in the middle of a presentation.
