Programme Tracks
GemP has three programme tracks. Each track includes a series of training and coaching experiences. (The Growth, Innovation, and Strategy Track is offered on an invitation-only basis).
Personal and Professional Excellence (PPE) Track
An organization can only be as good as the people who make it up. For the whole to be better than the sum of the parts, the parts need to have a positive orientation.
The Personal and Professional Excellence (PPE) track of the GemP focuses on individual members of teams and organizations with a view to fostering personal excellence by using the GEMLIFE model. (GEMLIFE is a model of personal excellence representing the 7 essential dimensions of life – GOD, Exercise, Money, Leadership, Inspiration, Fellowship, and Expression).
The PPE track also includes training on basic and essential soft skills that promote workplace excellence.
Leadership, Culture, and Customer Experience (LCEE) Track
There are two ways to move a car – push it or drive it. Attempting to optimize customer experience without (or before) paying attention to organizational leadership and team culture is tantamount to pushing a car instead of driving it.
The Leadership, Culture, and Customer Experience (LCCE) Track of the GemP was designed to train individuals in the art of true leadership, build psychological safety within teams, foster the creation and propagation of positive culture, and drive great customer experience.
The LCCE track is offered in partnership with Thought in Motion™.
