Supporting continual learning among the Live & Breathe team
This document summarises key aspects of a continued learning partnership between YCN and Live & Breathe, focussed on the priority areas we've discussed such as developing people managers, and maximising learner engagement and skills building through sessions delivered directly to the team — and with costs reduced too.
Priority areas for focussing ROI
As we've discussed — priority areas for the business when it comes to the performance and development for the remainder of 2021 will be supporting a group of 7-10 people-managers, and finding visible moments to bring as many of the team together to for engaging and relevant team learning (as we've piloted around the topic of giving and receiving feedback). Therefore at the core of a partnership for the remainder of 2021 will be two key parts:
1. Places in our First Time Leaders programme for L&B people managers
Building on the success of our 2 L&B participants so far, we can support the development of 7-10 L&B people managers within our cross organisational development programme; with 1 or 2 of the group in coming cohorts. Cohorts launch on a monthly basis, and we could onboard L&B'ers into those coming up.
2. Team training sessions for L&B
Just as we did with the recent session on Owning Feedback we can run a series of topic specific sessions, driven by the interests and challenges of the team over the remainder of the year. Whether focussed on idea generation, strategic smarts, DEI or any other topic from our programme; these will create collective 'moments' to get the team together around with real challenges and personal development in mind. Clients and partners can be invited to join too.
Self-directed learning for everyone at Live & Breathe
We've loved having the whole team able to access everything in our open programme. Appreciating there have been super users and non users, recognise that there is a question mark over this aspect as an investment priority. We can include ongoing, unlimited team access as a value add, as well as offering up personal development plans too.
Key coming topics in the programme of relevance to L&B'ers:
— Strategic thinking
— Creative Crafts
— Purposeful productivity
Continued access to all live courses
All current and future L&B team members could individually access our weekly programme of live, social learning — focussed on the most relevant and in-demand skills for the modern world of work, reflecting the challenges and opportunities within our community right now. Always a good way to emphasise the importance of personal development and a strong benefit for new starters
Really handy digital resources
Our ever-growing libraries of expert-led videos, digital tools, eCourses, Course Packs and other ‘just-in-time’ resources complement our bitesize live courses and help people solve the challenges they’re facing right now. L&B team members can have their own individual login to the YCN platform — enabling them to access any courses and resources that catch their eye.
Getting L&B'ers going with Personal Development Plans
L&B team members can share their development priorities (with input from their managers too) and receive back a personally proposed pathway of on-point courses and resources. A ‘mixtape for your mind’, supporting positive and purposeful conversations around performance. These have been very positively received with other partners, both with super users and as a way of kickstarting development among harder to reach groups.
Updated L&B partnership costs
The revised costs below focus on the prioritised areas outlined above, with a big discount applied as a way of keeping the open programme access (essentially including that at no additional cost if the priority elements are committed too).
