A leader development program is a long-term developmental experience with the goal of increasing effectiveness in leading oneself, others, teams, and organizations. BKD Leaders offers dynamic leader development programs that apply research in leadership, management, psychology, and personal development. We create transformative developmental experiences that can be delivered onsite at your home office, or away at our retreat center.
We tailor the session to your specific needs by choosing from our curated list of transformational topics, or let us assist you in selecting the perfect theme. BKD Leaders will provide a dynamic and interactive professional development keynote, workshop, or strategic consulting sessions. Our leader development programs include effective personal and leader assessment tools, training, feedback mechanisms, workbooks, learning videos, reflections, executive coaching, and practical exercises to elevate leadership capabilities that accelerate growth and profitability.
