International certification program
“Developing Leaders”
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS CERTIFICATION?
The course is designed for those who work with leaders and organizations in phases of complex change and want to go beyond observable competencies and behaviors. It is particularly suitable for professionals who already operate in the fields of leadership, culture, or change and are seeking a step up in depth and rigor in their work.
The program focuses on values, mindset, and inner coherence, through the Barrett Leadership Model and self-assessment and 360° feedback tools.
Specifically, it is aimed at professional coaches, organizational development and change management consultants, senior facilitators and trainers, HR professionals, Heads of Leadership and Talent Development, and internal leaders who hold responsibility for developing other leaders and for transforming organizational culture.
For those already certified in Cultivating Culture and/or using Barrett Analytics© on culture, the leadership tools represent a natural extension of cultural transformation work, making visible the level of alignment between the leadership style of top managers and the culture the organization aims to create.

WHAT WILL BE THE LEARNING METHOD?
In Italy, Facilitation Zone™ has chosen to structure the Developing Leaders certification pathway by integrating moments of experiential learning, guided practice, and methodological deepening, with the aim of providing real hands-on proficiency in the use of the Barrett Values Centre leadership tools in work with leaders, teams, and organizations.
Learning takes place in a highly interactive and experiential format, based on group work, practical exercises, and analysis of real cases. The pathway alternates moments of personal reflection, peer exchange, and concrete application of leadership and 360° feedback tools.
Before the course, you will complete a set of individual assessments designed to develop your personal awareness and allow you to work first-hand with the leadership model. This step is essential to progressively learn how to support other leaders and teams in developing their awareness, connecting values, mindset, and behaviors.
