Program Details

Launch is a blended learning skill development opportunity that features six e-learning modules. Each module focuses upon one topic. These topics are reinforced with Power Hour virtual calls hosted through Zoom. Each of the Power Hour calls is designed to debrief lessons learned in the e-learning topics, or “Flips,” and turn them into actionable practices at work.

Online Learning Platform

During the four weeks of Launch, you’ll be guided through six e-learning modules. Each module focuses on one topic area and are referred to as “Flips” in our online learning platform.

Launch is designed to give you the flexibility to complete these weekly modules at whatever time works for you. Throughout the program, you’ll be provided with real-world stories, tips, and tools for navigating challenges at work.

Note: For best results, plan to at least complete the modules associated with each Power Hour by the Power Hour’s date and time. This will ensure you can fully participate in discussion, networking, and action steps. All of you are counting on each other to do the work necessary to get the most out of this wonderful opportunity!

Program topics covered:

  1. Flip Your Mindset
  2. Flip Your Skillset
  3. Flip Your Relationship
  4. Flip Your Do-It-All Attitude
  5. Flip Your Perspective
  6. Flip Your Focus

Guiding Principles

Engage in the learning platform by:

  • Reading your learning modules.
  • Watching video content.
  • Posting to the discussion board and responding to your peers.
  • Using the tools and resources available to aid your learning.

Be ready to share your learnings and experiences with your camera on for the Power Hour sessions.

Listen carefully to others’ thoughts and ideas on the learning platform and during the Power Hour sessions. Challenge yourself to consider if and how their ideas may enhance your own.

Be open to new ideas, concepts, and ways of working.

Have fun!
