Management Development Program
Audience: Mid-level managers
Format: Six courses · 12 instructional hours · Virtual and in-person
Tool: Microsoft PowerPoint
A six-course leadership development program designed to strengthen practical management skills through applied learning. Topics include emotional intelligence, change management, strategic goal alignment, coaching, delegation, and navigating difficult conversations.
My role
I designed three of the six courses from initial research and storyboarding through final production, while developing the remaining three into facilitator-ready learning experiences using supplied storyboards. My work included organizing instructional content, translating leadership concepts into practical workplace applications, working with SMEs and stakeholders, and developing scenarios, interactive activities, and supporting materials to reinforce learning.
I also facilitated the courses in virtual and in-person settings, using participant questions, discussion, and feedback to identify opportunities to refine content, improve pacing, and strengthen opportunities for skill application.
In addition to instructional development, I designed the program's visual identity from the ground up, creating custom, brand-compliant PowerPoint templates with original theme colors, graphics, representative imagery, and preconfigured Slide Master layouts. This approach ensured visual consistency across the six-course curriculum while making it easier for other developers to create additional courses using an established design framework.

Design Challenge and Approach
One of the primary challenges was making complex leadership concepts accessible and immediately useful to managers with varying levels of experience. This required evaluating not only what content to include, but how to sequence information and create meaningful opportunities for practice.
For example, while developing the Strategic Alignment of Goals course, I recognized that the original storyboard introduced cascading organizational goals before establishing a foundation in SMART goal setting. I recommended reversing the sequence to build understanding progressively, then developed supporting explanations, examples, activities, and facilitator guidance to reinforce the revised approach.
Throughout development, I emphasized practical exercises, realistic workplace scenarios, and opportunities for reflection and discussion to help managers connect new concepts to their day-to-day responsibilities.
