How to design Leadership Development programs that create lasting change
Sept 30, 2025
9 AM - 10:30 AM – Modernwell
According to various studies, a significant portion of leadership development programs are considered to fail, with estimates ranging from 70% to 80% of programs not achieving their desired outcomes, meaning a large majority of leadership development initiatives are not considered successful. The 3 key reasons come down to lack of measurement, poor design and limited follow-up. Join us as we work through a framework that has consistently proven to have significant ROI for leaders and the culture shift our clients have been striving for. We'll unlock 25 years of experience in program design to help you create investments that pay off.
Meet Our Facilitators:
Tammy Krings, Founder & CEO of The Conversations That Matter, has been studying people all her life. With an early curiosity for human dynamics, she has built a business helping leaders and teams experience workplace transformation. She has created programs for sustainable change that match the business’s greatest growth needs. Tammy accelerates the learning and connection with everyone in her programs. Tammy had the great fortune of working for Inscape Publishing (now Wiley) training thousands of business owners and leaders how to integrate Everything DiSC into their L & D programs. She is intimately familiar with the depths of the tool and how it can truly help teams see each other in a new, more meaningful way.
Ava Goepfert, Sr Facilitator & Leadership Coach connects theory to application and brings the people dynamic alive during her workshops and coaching sessions. She's led dozens of teams of all sizes from first-line employees to executive teams through both virtual and in-person facilitations that get to the heart of what matters most. Her focus on uncovering what's holding each of us back as leaders, teams, and organizations has helped dozens of companies ensure they are making space to honor both relationships and results. Her classroom experience as a college instructor and as a certified Narrative Coach Practitioner means she can bring the research and the powerful questions to address the toughest people problems in business.
The Conversations That Matter, based in Minneapolis, is the expert in developing healthy leaders who transform teams and create thriving workplaces. TCTM specializes in custom team workshops, leadership development programs, and executive coaching.
