LDP Training

In Short

In Detail

LDP Training is a professional development resource designed to help coaches, leaders, and facilitators facilitation materials for CCL's flagship leadership programme. It sits within the category of Leadership Development Programme materials, making it particularly useful for practitioners working on capability development, team performance, and individual growth in organisational settings.

In practice, LDP Training is delivered as a 6-step process. The process begins by participants complete multi-source (360) feedback using CCL's Benchmarks instrument. The session closes by check in at programme end against original development goals. The structured approach ensures that participants move through a consistent experience while leaving room for the facilitator to adapt pacing and depth to the group's needs.

LDP Training is most valuable when practitioners need a reliable, repeatable approach that can be adapted to different contexts without losing its core structure. It bridges the gap between conceptual understanding and practical application, making it a durable addition to any coaching or facilitation toolkit.
