PERSONAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (PPDP)

The Personal Professional Development Program (PPDP) is a customized one on one encounter with young professional level staff (managers / executives) that is designed to provide a learning development, and coaching platform to inculcate an understanding of personal, life and professional skills sets in order to enhance their abilities to be more effective, to lead, to add value as team members, manage conflict and face change throughout the course of their careers. It is an individual experience that suits the unique and specific attributes and traits of the individual participant. In this individualized confidential learning and development setting, the participant is more open to sharing experiences therefore allowing for a more clinical assessment of their baseline skill sets and creating an avenue for a roadmap of personal development that includes all facets of the participant life / career.
