Talent Development Capability Model:

Developing Professional Capability - Training Delivery
Coaching
Impacting Organizational Capability - Performance Management
Building Personal Capability - Communication

Description:

Motivation is an enormous part of successful learning, but our attention in talent development programming and instructional design is often on content or the user experience. So what do we do when “this is required learning” gets people to check the box and check out? Knowing what motivates your people, how to tap those different motivations for shared learning and development objectives, and how to use those motivations as levers in coaching is a powerful driver of success. With the LINC Personality Profile tool (LPP) - widely used in Europe and the UK but new to North America - we can scientifically assess and understand motivations. This program will focus on the importance of needs-motivation theory for learning design, execution, and introduce participants to how the theory can become practice through the LPP.
