Performance Academy for Talent
Performance Academy for Talent is a customizable, multi-session talent development program designed to help high-potential employees, emerging leaders, managers, and cross-functional talent increase their impact across people, performance, productivity, and business execution.
Organizations often identify high-potential employees because they demonstrate strong performance, technical skill, initiative, or leadership promise. To expand their impact, these employees need more than task expertise. They need stronger self-awareness, emotional intelligence, teamwork, trust, influence, decision-making, innovation, interviewing judgment, and strategy execution skills.
This private talent development academy brings together multiple development topics into one integrated learning experience. Participants gain insight into how they think, work, communicate, influence, make decisions, build trust, contribute to teams, and execute on priorities. The program can include three self-assessments, including emotional intelligence, and can be customized based on the organization’s talent priorities.
Participants leave better prepared to increase their individual contribution, collaborate more effectively, influence across the organization, make better decisions, support hiring and talent decisions, generate practical ideas, and execute more consistently on key business priorities.
