    • PRACTICE: Gain skills to activate unique and sustainable forms of advocacy and activism to build cultures of inclusion and belonging.

        Vertical Development: The Key to Transformational Leadership Development

        With Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D.

        75% of organizations rated their leadership development programs as not very effective, and 71% of organizations do not feel their leaders are able to lead their organizations into the future (BrandonHall Group, 2015). These statistics suggest that typical and traditional leadership development efforts are not currently meeting the demands of today's leaders. A new approach is needed.

        In this session, Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D., a Wall Street Journal best-selling author, will introduce what vertical development is, how it differs from traditional horizontal development efforts, and how you can employ vertical development in your organization to transformationally elevate your leaders.

        Registrants will get access to Dr. Gottfredson’s Personal Mindset Assessment and have a chance to win one of Dr. Gottfredson’s best-selling books, including: "The Elevated Leader: Leveling Up Your Leadership Through Vertical Development!"

He helps organizations vertically develop their leaders primarily through a focus on mindsets.

        Coming soon!

        About Your Facilitator:

        After being in the L&D industry for nearly a decade (wearing many hats…as we all tend to do), Nicki found her passion in instructional design (ID).

        Nicki has had the opportunity to gain ID experience in the traditional landscape of higher education, the process-oriented corporate world, and the fast-paced and ever-changing environment of tech startups!

        Nicki has a master's degree specializing in Training and Development. With her educational background and professional experience combined, she takes a systematic approach to help stakeholders achieve their goals regarding L&D.

        Whether she is developing curriculum paths, creating training programs, or designing learning products—Nicki is always focused on creating transformative and behavior-based experiences. The opportunity to make someone’s life better (or at least easier) by helping them improve their skills or enhance their scope of knowledge is both rewarding and gratifying.

        Outside of the office, you can find Nicki staying caffeinated while visiting all of Austin's local coffee shops!
