Dynamic Leadership (DLX™): 2-Day Leadership & Talent Development Experience
About this Event
As a people leader, you are often asked to make decisions, strengthen performance, communicate clearly, develop talent, and keep work moving when priorities are competing and conditions are changing. Dynamic Leadership (DLX™) gives you a structured way to work through those responsibilities with practical application, peer insight, facilitator feedback, and resources you can use back at work.
Lead in complexity. Execute with clarity. Deliver real results.
This is where leadership development becomes practical execution.
🔷 EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS
Two-day, in-person leadership and talent development learning experience
Designed for people leaders, managers, HR, talent, learning, and organizational decision-makers
Focused on real leadership, communication, performance, and talent opportunity areas
Includes guided application, peer insight, group discussion, personal reflection, facilitator feedback, and action planning
Practical resources and structured learning materials included
🔷 HOW IT WORKS
Dynamic Leadership (DLX™) is built around Ferguson Learning Company’s Learn → Practice → Assess protocol, a structured approach designed to move leadership development beyond awareness and into practical execution.
Participants actively engage in practical learning exercises, guided application, partner work, group problem-solving, peer insight, facilitator feedback, real-time assessment, and action planning as they work through leadership, talent, communication, performance, and execution opportunity areas.
Throughout the two days, participants:
Learn leadership and talent concepts grounded in real business and people opportunity areas
Practice applying those concepts through guided discussion and decision scenarios shaped by the real leadership, communication, performance, and talent opportunity areas participants bring into the experience
Assess their decisions, receive feedback, and refine their leadership approach in real time
Participants work through the types of opportunity areas leaders face every day, including performance expectations, communication breakdowns, competing priorities, talent decisions, trust, engagement, development planning, and accountability.
Unlike passive training, DLX™ is designed as a working leadership learning experience. Participants are expected to engage, think critically, apply concepts, test decisions, and refine their leadership approach throughout the two days.
🔷 REAL-WORLD APPLICATION
DLX™ is designed around the real leadership opportunity areas participants bring into the experience — not generic case studies.
Participants apply learning directly to areas such as:
Leading through ambiguity, change, and competing priorities
Addressing team performance and accountability issues
Navigating difficult conversations and communication breakdowns
Building and maintaining trust
Strengthening employee engagement
Making talent decisions that support business objectives
Managing development planning, career conversations, retention, and succession concerns
Navigating decisions when information is incomplete or conditions are changing
Throughout the two days, participants work through these areas with structure, peer insight, facilitator guidance, and practical resources.
🔷 LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Dynamic Leadership (DLX™) is intentionally limited by design.
The experience is structured for small-group interaction, partner-based exercises, guided application, and meaningful facilitator feedback. Participants are not seated as passive observers. They are actively engaged throughout the experience.
This structure supports:
Individual attention from the facilitator
Thoughtful peer interaction and shared insight
More effective partner and small-group dynamics
A focused, high-quality learning environment
Time to work through leadership opportunity areas with practical support
Every participant is expected to engage, contribute, and apply the learning. DLX™ is designed to create a supportive learning environment where leaders can test ideas, challenge assumptions, refine decisions, and strengthen their leadership approach before applying it back at work.
🔷 IMPACT
The focus is simple: develop people leaders who can think more strategically, act more deliberately, and create measurable impact in how their teams and organizations operate.
Participants leave with:
A clearer leadership decision-making approach
Greater confidence leading through complex people and business situations
Practical resources they can apply immediately
A stronger connection between leadership behavior, talent decisions, and business outcomes
A more deliberate approach to communication, accountability, and team performance
🔷 WHO THIS IS FOR
This experience is designed for:
New and experienced people leaders
Managers responsible for team performance, communication, accountability, and development
Leaders navigating complex people and business opportunity areas
HR, talent, and learning professionals supporting leadership development, talent strategy, and performance
Organizations seeking a practical leadership development experience before scaling development internally
Municipalities, public agencies, educational institutions, and cooperative purchasing members exploring leadership development options for their teams
DLX™ is best suited for participants who are ready to engage, contribute, reflect, and apply learning throughout the session.
