Course Overview

Instructional Design for Leadership, Soft Skills & Behavior Change is a comprehensive corporate training program designed for organizations seeking to move beyond knowledge-based training toward measurable leadership behavior change. The course equips L&D, HR, and leadership development professionals with advanced capabilities in instructional design for leadership, soft skills instructional design, and behavior change instructional design.

Unlike traditional instructional design programs, this course focuses on behavioral learning design, performance-based instructional design, and learning design for behavior transformation to ensure leadership and soft skills training leads to observable workplace outcomes. Participants learn how to design leadership learning experiences that influence mindset, habits, and decision-making using evidence-based instructional design, human-centered instructional design, and learner-centered leadership training principles.

The course emphasizes instructional design for leadership development, leadership capability development training, and organizational behavior learning design, ensuring alignment with business strategy and workforce development goals. By the end of the program, participants will be able to design leadership and soft skills programs that support learning transfer and behavior change, not just training completion.
