Leadership Development

Step 1 — The Situation

An emerging-leader pipeline was leaning entirely on shadowing — promotion rates within 12 months hovered at 11%, and exit interviews flagged 'no real coaching' as the top reason ICs declined the manager track.

Step 2 — The Task

As a Senior Learning Experience Designer, I led the end-to-end design and development of this project — from discovery and needs analysis through final delivery and implementation support.

Step 4 — The Solution

Design a 6-month cohort program anchored on peer coaching circles of 4 plus a real-world application project — the goal was reps in the role, not seat-time, with 360 feedback at midpoint and end.

Step 5 — The Impact

Outcomes: - Promotion rate within 12 months jumped from 11% → 35% - 89% completion across 4 cohorts (450 leaders) - Peer coaching circles rated 4.7/5 — higher than any internal training in company history - Mentor-paired ICs reported a 31% lift in role clarity at the 90-day check-in
