Structure and Purpose
The Professional Development Program for Directors and above will have 3 components, each of which will be grounded in the 2 books that guide the ViaOne company culture (aka, core OS): The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey and The 4 Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
The program will be designed and delivered to advance the individual’s management skills in preparation for more effective operations and better professional working relationships inside and outside the company. Operating with more independence and personal accountability will be a particular emphasis, especially with the expected transition of CEO responsibilities in 2023.
The participants will be ViaOne Services serving at the Director level and above.
| Activity | Frequency | Objectives and Formats |
|---|---|---|
| Masterclass | Monthly | To provide an interactive opportunity to advance participants understanding of how to apply the principles and tools to work situations. Masterclasses will be conducted as 2-hour online calls. |
| Retreat | Quarterly or Semiannually | To create an experience for participants to demonstrate their mastery of the core OS in the leadership of their business lives and beyond over the course of a full day offsite together. |
| Reinforcement | Each week | To support the professional development of participants between the Masterclass and Retreats with focused developmental conversations and scheduled Q&A sessions, both online as well as in person. A secondary objective is to gather topics and issues to address in the other two types of sessions based on interactions, conversations, and requests. |

| Team, Proactive, professional development is important to me — I credit embracing these tools and principles with much of the success I’ve worked to create in my life. Because I see you as a critical contributor to the current and future success of ViaOne, I’m including you in a program to develop your understanding and use of the 7 Habits and 4 Agreements to a higher level to benefit your day-to-day work responsibilities as well your life beyond work. Bill Ringle of LearnWell will be working with me closely to design and deliver the program, which will start with a masterclass later this month. Please watch for and respond to Bill’s email for more details because I know that he will want your input. I expect that we will all learn and benefit from the experience and I look forward to working with you in this Quadrant 2 professional development activity. |
