SES Leadership Development Program Overview (12 Days) Senior Executive Level
Extraordinary leadership is a combination of consciousness and competence. The capacity-building and development provided by the Key Executive Leadership SES Leadership Program focuses on both individual and collective leadership development. Those we lead today expect their agencies utilize their talent and drive in ways that are welcoming, interactive, collaborative, and less bureaucratic. They have a need to work for leaders who inspire trust, nurture environments of diversity, inclusion, equity and accessibility, and articulate a vision that connects them to their agency mission. Participants in the SES Leadership Program hone their relational skills and thinking capacity to mentor and develop others and increase employee engagement. They also develop the foresight, insight, and the competencies needed to create vision, meet their mission, execute strategic goals, obtain innovative ideas from employees, and foster the teamwork and conviction needed to address today’s complex challenges.
This sequential, six-course program is designed based on the Office of Personnel Management Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs), and provides participants with ideas, techniques, experiential exercises, and contemplative reflections to apply those competencies directly to the challenges they face in the workplace. The SES Leadership Program is particularly appropriate for those in the Senior Executive Service, their deputies, and those serving in senior level positions.

Executive Coaching
The Executive Coaches will ensure that their assigned coachees thoughtfully assess the results of their survey feedback and prioritize areas where there is developmental opportunity. The debrief session is important in that it prepares participants for a quick start up and pathway to leverage their insights in the classroom and in their individual reflections and group discussions. It will also enable them to use the 360 data to further develop the competencies they need to focus on developing to enable them to lead change and cultivate healthy and effective organizations.

The Key Experience
After 20 years in the Army, and many training events, I can say with certainty that the J Band training in concert with the one on one coaching is the best training/program that I've had...ever, Thank you TSA and AU for changing my life!

This has been one of the best courses and opportunities I have had in my professional career. I highly recommend Tracy, [Key Executive Coach], to any senior professional.
—Key Student on their experience with Key and Executive Coaching
Great program. I particularly appreciated that the instructors gave time for us to learn from each other and didn't just lecture at us. They could have just lectured; instead they mentored and coached. The conversations we had were very meaningful. I already have a list of ideas that I want to implement. Thank you.
