The only constant in today’s volatile, uncertain, and complex world is change. Leaders have to continually evolve, grow, and adjust to their changing environment and get their people to do the same. Driving Performance and Change (Online) shows you how to maximize your impact as a leader during times of change.

We often see ourselves and others as fixed, in terms of our personality, character, and professional skills. This program gives you a powerful new understanding of how much untapped potential there is for you and your people to change. You will gain practical techniques to help you and your people adapt and flourish in a constantly changing world. You will learn how to lead people on a change journey by getting them to successfully implement critical changes in behavior.

You will also learn how to practice resilience so you can neutralize barriers, rebound from setbacks, adapt to new conditions, and inspire change. You will learn practical ways to deliver effective feedback and coach your people in order to help them cultivate self-awareness, close performance gaps, develop new capabilities, challenge their own mindsets, and approach their full potential.

Driving Performance and Change (Online) provides you with a scientific and practical pathway to growing your people’s capabilities and performance and growing your own self as well.

I have benefited significantly from the training this program has given me on how to coach. I have recently applied these coaching principles to an individual on my team, and I have noticed a positive change in behavior as a result of my coaching. I have found that she has far more determination to do well than I initially realized. She has been more centered and engaged once I have started coaching her, and the quality of her output has improved substantially.

Prof. Wadhwa's teaching on how to inspire, influence, coach, and change others were some of the most impactful classes I have ever taken. They gave me a set of tools that I could use immediately, both at a professional and personal level. I have found the practical application of these classes to be amazingly long-lasting, and have achieved concrete results in shaping the behavior of others.

I got valuable learnings from this program, e.g. that every change is possible if you have the right strategy and tools for it, and that taking small steps can lead to a big change. The stories about great leaders in the modules made me feel confident that this is the right way to go. I also really liked the fact that I could watch the videos and work through the modules at my own pace without any stress, in a safe environment. It was very helpful to read opinions of other program members about different topics, and it was surprising and comforting to see how many people think the same way I do.
