Series Format 

The format of this program was designed with busy schedules in mind. While you should of course feel free to complete this series in any timeframe that works for you, one suggestion is to watch a video module once per week or once every other week, and spend time in between going through reflection/discussion questions and engaging in the suggested activities. Following this plan, you should be able to complete the series within about 6-12 weeks.

Before MLLs Begin: Complete the Pre/post-Training Evaluation template on page 8 within the Discussion Questions and Activities document before you begin the series and again after you complete Module 6. 

Senior Leaders: We encourage you to use the Senior Leader Discussion Guide to engage your mid-level leaders in conversations about the concepts covered in the series. This guide was created to help senior health care leaders, as the people to whom our target audience reports, reinforce the learning from this series.
