LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT CURRICULUM — Aquilina Consulting Group

Since we opened our doors, we have focused our attention on what it takes to become an effective leader. Contrary to what some believe, the skill set is neither a mystery, nor a position power birthright. In fact, leadership behaviors are learned.

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
~William Arthur Ward

The Aquilina Consulting Group’s training is fresh, new and different … had we gone through the program earlier, we would now be three years ahead of the competition.
~Ken Caird, Senior Systems Engineer, GE Energy

The Aquilina Consulting Group's Leadership Development courses, both online and on-site, self-paced and instructor led, provide proven, core Consulting, Facilitation and Coaching skill sets and tools necessary to lead three essential business relationships:

Internal and external customers
Groups, teams and organizations, both remote and co-located
Employees, peers and leaders

Our curriculum offers both time-tested and innovative “soft science” leadership skills, tools and methodologies for “hard-core business applications.” The modularity of our courses fosters creative applications. They can be blended with both online and on-site delivery to plug a gap with one self-paced course or to address broader organizational training needs with a mini instructor led curriculum.

Our Role Plays are Not Cold & Dry

The weather forecast for most remote learning and much of on-site instruction is Cold & Dry.

Cold, in that it doesn't get your intellectual juices flowing; nor does it engage and challenge you
Dry, in that it typically seeks only to provide conceptual awareness, the transfer of information … you just sit back and observe passively

Our Role Plays are Hot & Humid!

They warm you up, wrap around you and pull you in
They mirror your business with all the twists and turns that leadership challenges toss at you
They make you sweat and force you to make hard decisions at critical points
They stretch you and will change, not only how you look at things, but also how you behave in your own world
