The SLII Experience™ Course

SLII® is the most widely taught leadership model in the world

The SLII course teaches leaders to use the appropriate leadership style in response to an individual’s needs and the situation. Our unique learning design—The SLII Experience™—is a dynamic, technology-enhanced learning environment that immerses learners in SLII quickly, deeply, and effectively. This course will teach you a new language for leadership that will help increase the quality and quantity of conversations you have with your team members, accelerate their development, improve their performance, and support autonomy. Becoming a situational leader will allow you to partner with those you lead, giving them what they need most to succeed.

Course Options and Details

The SLII Experience offers four flexible course options designed to help you become a situational leader:

SLII One-Day In-Person and SLII Three-Session Virtual: These options focus on providing the essential mindset and knowledge to understand SLII and become an effective situational leader.

SLII Two-Day In-Person and SLII Five-Session Virtual: These comprehensive options include all the core benefits of the shorter courses plus additional skill-building activities through hands-on practice exercises. Note: Completing the longer course is required to enroll in the Training for Trainers course.

All course options guide you through the SLII model using a three-part learning path:

  1. LAUNCH – Participants complete engaging prework assignments, including an assessment, to expedite the learning and frame their thinking to real-world challenges.
  2. LEARN and PRACTICE – Activities teach leaders the skills and language to lead situationally. Leaders develop their new skills and practice their SLII vocabulary in activities based on personal work challenges. They learn how to match their leadership style and practice SLII conversations.
  3. APPLY – Tools and resources accessible after the sessions help participants strengthen and sustain their skills in SLII.

Each course option includes these powerful tools to help you put your new skills into practice:

SLII App: Practice SLII techniques, teach others, and manage one-on-one conversations effectively.

SLII Chatbot: Weekly messages provide ongoing guidance on applying SLII in your daily work.

Digital Playlist: Access on-demand videos, worksheets, and interactive resources for continuous learning and just-in-time support.

Who Should Attend

This course will benefit:

  • Individuals in leadership roles who want to increase their effectiveness
  • Mid-level or new managers or supervisors
  • Executives and senior-level managers
By using SLII skills, I can be right there with them every step of the way, giving them direction and support as they need it.
