Who should participate?

This learn and launch is for L&D, talent management, talent development, and HR professionals responsible for creating and implementing a leadership development program.

It is ideal for professionals who are creating and implementing their first program, those who have the technical expertise but lack program development experience, and experienced professionals who feel like a fish out of water in a new industry or company. 

What should participants prepare for?
  • Experiential learning and feedback.

  • Identifying internal stakeholders.

  • Attendance at three (3) 1.5 hour virtual cohort meetings and two (2) 60-minute 1:1 coaching sessions.

  • Time commitment = 6.5 Hours (cohort meetings and coaching) + ~10 hours working independently throughout the program.

  • A small cohort where you won’t get lost in the crowd. Enjoy instructor-led and peer learning opportunities to fuel your potential.

How can I learn about the facilitator?

This Learn & Launch will be facilitated by Christine Render, ScaleUp’s Founder & CEO. Christine will also serve as your coach.

Christine combines her subject matter expertise with her coaching style to guide you through the process. You’ll have the confidence that your program is designed for results and be prepared to pitch a strategic plan to your internal stakeholders.

You can learn more about Christine here and here.


“As a coach and consultant, I find my coaching style naturally enhances my consulting engagements. This shows up primarily when I present options followed by questions to help clients determine what strategy will be most effective for their organization. We co-create a plan by combining my experience and guidance and the client’s expertise about their talent needs, company culture, and industry. When it comes to leadership development programs (LDP), I find this approach far more effective than prescribing a standard solution.”
