The SHIFT Experience

Fall 2024 Course Timeline

The SHIFT Experience Course is a comprehensive 5-week program designed to enhance leadership skills and organizational effectiveness. Participants will engage in weekly lessons, facilitated discussions, and optional group coaching sessions. The course begins with pre-work and assessments, followed by five intensive weeks of learning and application.

Each week, participants will attend a one-hour lesson and facilitation session from 11:45 AM to 12:45 PM EST, followed by an optional group coaching hour until 2:00 PM EST. Participants choose to stay as long as they like for the coaching and indicate their intended availability to the facilitator beforehand. All sessions will be recorded for future reference.

Throughout the course, participants will work on their SHIFT action plan, applying the concepts learned to their specific organizational contexts. The program culminates in the fifth week, with a final session and group coaching opportunity.

To ensure long-term implementation and success, a 3-month follow-up session will be scheduled after the course completion.

This structured approach allows for consistent engagement, practical application, and ongoing support, maximizing the impact of the SHIFT methodology on participants' leadership skills and organizational outcomes.
