THE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY FOR FEDERAL PROFESSIONALS & SUPPORT STAFF

The prevailing myth, “People don’t need training until they are actually in the position,” could not be more distant from the truth.

Each of us benefits from training before we seek additional responsibilities; anything less is demoralizing to individuals and a waste of funds due to failed or inconsistent on-the-job training.

The interactive online workshop sessions outlined here are designed to help participants build upon their existing strengths, develop new skills and position themselves for future promotion.

These sessions are designed to bring easy to implement, practical principles to people from any discipline, technical field or career calling.
