The Future Ready Leadership (FRL) 1 program consists of eight leadership training courses delivered one day per month, over eight months. This program is developed for leaders by providing theory with practical application and experiential learning. This program has been designed for participants to learn and develop different leadership competencies over the entire program.
As the foundation for the participants’ learning during the program, they will assess themselves on thirteen key leadership competencies, competencies required for effective team leadership in any organization. As they progress through the program, they will have several opportunities to assess how the learnings will support enhancement of these leadership competencies.
To support participants’ learning between each course, participants will be required to complete an ‘Apply the Learning’ assignment to reinforce the learnings from the previous session and to prepare them for the upcoming session. In addition, they will be provided with a list of resources, each day, culminating in, by the end of the program, a substantive continuous learning tool.
Finally, participants will participate in a team presentation on a preselected program topic, on the final day, to their leaders.

As part of the participants’ learning journey, it’s important for their leaders to support and reinforce the training. MCE will provide a one-hour ‘Making Training Stick’ session for these leaders prior to the rollout of this program. This session will cover roles and responsibilities of leaders and employees before, during, and after the training to ensure the participants have absorbed and applied the learnings.
In this highly interactive, experiential day, participants will learn about the key leadership competencies to be developed throughout the program. They will discover and understand the value of working together as a team to cultivate a high-performance collaborative working team.
Participants will be able to determine which theory or type works best for their workplace. They will learn the skills, knowledge, and attitudes required to be an effective leader. The course will culminate with participants starting to envision their leadership priorities and goals.
Participants will learn how being an inclusive leader will help to create a psychologically safe workplace for their teams and across the organization.
Participants will learn how to conduct effective coaching conversations with their employees and learn the relationship between coaching, employee development, and performance management. Participants will learn different tools to apply for employee development and managing performance.
In the morning, participants will learn how to deliver Powerful Presentations by examining different parts of a presentation as well as common flaws that occur when presenting. In the afternoon, participants will experience a panel of invited leaders sharing their views regarding the role of leadership in today’s changing workplace.
Participants explore how to effectively lead teams through change. They will learn how to use and apply a change management model to the opportunities and challenges change creates for employees.
Participants will explore the concepts, skills, and tools effective leaders use to resolve conflict in their teams. Participants will explore how to identify sources and causes of conflict and how to apply emotional intelligence to manage conflict.
In the morning, participants will develop personal leadership plans by looking at opportunities to continue to grow and develop as a leader. In the afternoon, participants work in small teams and present to an audience of their peers and leaders what they have learned and applied from the program.
