OADSP’s Direct Leadership Certificate (DLC) is a months-long development program that culminates in small-scale demonstration projects, showcasing how participants have applied what they learned. The program is:
- Intentionally designed to incorporate the training and professional development needs and wants of an organization’s employees and of its philosophy
- Appropriate – if not essential – for all levels of an organization, from middle management, to entry-level positions, and executive suites
- Applicable across any and all organizational departments
- An immersive experience that includes team-building activities
The DLC’s structure is meant to be flexible. OADSP and organizational coordinators collaborate to identify appropriate topics and goals for each day-long session. The team allows space for detailed agendas to include specific issues and scenarios that are pertinent to those topics and goals. Previously-deployed and sample topics include:
- Power of Moments
- Professionalism & Autonomy
- Communication Matters
- Languages of Appreciation*
- Diversity & Cultural Sensitivity
- Microaggressions & Intentionality
- The Art of Storytelling
- Legislative Advocacy*
- Management & Organization
- Collective Trauma & The Workplace*
- The 15 Invaluable Laws of Leadership (this is a John Maxwell training, provided exclusively by a Maxwell Certified Team Member)
* These are 2-part sessions.
And when they’re ready for more, collaborate with OADSP again for DLC 2.0.
