Process
Classroom instruction: Each NetSpeed Leadership module begins with face-to-face group
instruction facilitated by a certified trainer. You may choose to have one of your trainers
certified in NetSpeed Leadership facilitation or you may use one of our certified trainers.
Electronic reinforcement: One week after each module is presented, participants are
emailed an electronic magazine with a case study, role model interview, to-do list, and
other features crafted to reinforce the face-to-face training in a fresh, readable magazine
format.
Web-based tools: Participants then complete a brief web-based certification test, called
NetSpeed Coach(TM )to demonstrate their knowledge of the material and the ability to
apply that knowledge to real-life management situations. NetSpeed On The Job(TM )is an
action planning tool that participants use to construct detailed action plans for specific work
challenges, following a template based directly on learning principles covered in their
classroom experience.
Benefits
For participants: Program participants gain valuable approaches to managing others,
building their teams, and achieving productive results through collaboration with others.
Training presented in focused modules scheduled over several weeks, combined with a
systematic series of e-learning reinforcement tools, maximizes knowledge retention and
application of skills.
For Trainers and Training Directors: NetSpeed Leadership’s blended learning approach to
leadership development is powerful and easy to implement. It allows training directors to
quickly launch and support a training initiative, certify program participants, and reward
participation and achievement.
