Who is this Leadership Training Kit for?

In today’s world of work, leadership skills must be cultivated everywhere: across teams, roles, and levels.

Whether you’re delivering trainings in-house and looking for tools to get started, or working with external partners and aligning around impactful design, the challenge is the same.

You need to move fast, show results, and prove impact, even when the goals feel vague.
That’s where this kit comes in. You’ll find ready-to-use templates that inspire your thinking, enable you to quickly catch up with global best practices, and help you create leadership training that truly makes an impact.

What's inside the Leadership Training Kit?

What do you think about when you hear the word leadership? Used and overused in today’s workplace jargon, it comes from an Old English word for “to go,” “to guide.” Inside it lies the
image of someone carrying a flag.

Something about scouting the road ahead. Something about knowing the direction.

If you’ve been tasked with developing leadership skills inside your organization, you might feel the paradox. You’re being asked to lead leaders: to clear the path for those who walk ahead.

At SessionLab, we focus on supporting great facilitation. In leadership development, that means creating spaces for reflection, dialogue, and growth. Leadership training, unlike technical training, is more about asking better questions than about having the right answer. It should spark curiosity and help people challenge themselves. Frameworks can help, but real development happens through practice and experience.

In this kit, you’ll find a selection of 8 leadership training workshops. We’ve selected them from the rich collection of templates in SessionLab’s Library, with the aim of giving you a good starting point and a few different possible dimensions.

The templates cover varied topics, from exploring leadership styles to building emotional intelligence to how to have 1:1 conversations, give feedback, and more. You’ll also find facilitation tips and best practices you can apply to your leadership training programs and skill-building workshops.
