An Impressive Guide For Organizing 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 your theme, ensure to source for experts who are conversant with topics that relate to the subject. These professionals are difficult to find, and earlier consultations should be made before printing out the theme. Also, you have to discuss their fees and number of hours that they shall facilitate so that if you are not comfortable, you can look for a replacement.

The next step is to identify the venue where these trainings will be held. The exercise cannot be held in the same place more than once. Most of these leaders enjoy the trainings and being exposed to new environments will trigger their interests to participate. Find a venue that the entire participant would be happy to attend. However, you have to be conscious about its charges.

Training materials, foodstuffs, accommodation and venue hire are expensive, and it takes a good amount of fee from those that will attend. Calculate all the expenses and use their estimate in arranging a fee for all the participants. An account number should be included in the invitation letter where those that are willing to attend should confirm using emails or phone calls.

The next thing to do is sending out invitation letters to all the organizations that you think might be in need of such training. In a single state, there are hundreds of companies and big institutions that are looking for such chances. Additionally, include the venue, contacts, and direction details in that letter. All interested people should send or call to notify you of their interest to participate.

You must confirm that everything is in order at least a week before the commencement of the program. Visit the organized venue and go through accommodation facilities, catering department and conference hall with the responsible parties and ensure everything has been prepared as per your wish. As such, you will not be disappointed at the last minute.

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.
