Event Information
Registration Status: OPEN
Registration Ends: Thursday, May 1, 2025
Mid-level managers of vocational rehabilitation agencies are charged with managing program operations, creating buy-in for agency policies and procedures, engaging with internal and external stakeholders, and managing significant fiscal and human resources. They have a responsibility of providing leadership that is forward-looking, innovative, and responsive. Their positions carry substantial leadership responsibility; however, many incumbents have limited experience for the role. Being strategic in leadership and adapting to meet the challenges and opportunities of VR are increasing demands for mid-level managers.
LeadVR addresses the challenge: LeadVR is Leadership that Empowers, holds self and others Accountable and provides opportunities for Development. Held once a month over eight months, LeadVR is a series of live, interactive online training and professional development modules for aspiring frontline workers and mid-level managers. Each session in LeadVR offers rehabilitation participants the opportunity to explore the current and future face of VR leadership and organizational change.
Coaching Sessions: As the business environment becomes more complex, current and future leaders need support. Participants will be provided three hours of group coaching sessions facilitated by training consultants, with the goal of improving individual performance, developing a plan for individual behavioral change, developing goals for the future, and implementing an action plan to achieve those goals through support, guidance and direction.
Project Work: Participants will be assigned a specific challenge and will work as a team to develop goals, strategies, and an action plan to address the challenge.
Registration: Each LeadVR Cohort is limited to 40 participants. Cohorts are designed to foster cross-agency collaboration. Organizational specific cohorts may also be requested
