Custom Bridgework in Courses
All courses include bridgework between live sessions. We can customize it, like adding a video from one of your senior leaders. Development fees may apply if Looking Forward Consulting builds the learning assets.
Sixty minutes a week.
You choose the courses and who attends. We run everything else, start to finish.
The process
What it looks like, step by step
These steps repeat for every course.
- 1
Enroll for course
Choose a course and a start date from the live schedule.
- 2
Attend 30-minute session
One live session a week, taught by a facilitator, not a slideshow.
- 3
Complete weekly application assignments
Short assignments that put the week's skill to work on the job.

Each participant writes down what they'll change, then tracks it.

Inside every session, the same four moves
The WRAP methodology
A 30-minute session each week, focused on immediate workplace application.

Watch
30 minutes, live
A 30-minute live session once a week, taught by a professional facilitator. High energy, with games, polls, live chat, and rapid-fire discussion with the other participants.
- R
Reflect
1-3 questions
Afterward, participants privately answer one to three reflection questions about the session. It's not a quiz. The point is translating what they heard into their own situation.

On the job
A bridge assignment carries the content from one week to the next. It might be an essential conversation with a supervisor, a video, a task, or a short one-on-one with an executive coach.
- P
Plan
Tracked results
At the end of the course, each participant makes a plan for how they'll change their behavior, then tracks the results.

The research behind the approach
Development principles supported by leadership-training research
A meta-analysis of 335 leadership-training samples (Lacerenza et al., 2017) found positive effects on learning, on-the-job behavior, job performance, and organizational results. The strongest results came from training with feedback, practice, and sessions spaced over time.
