Team Leader Development Pathway
The Daniel Ord Team Leader Development Pathway
Team Leaders rarely get formal training in the skills their role actually requires. Most step up because they excelled in a frontline role, then discover that operations, quality, leadership and CX demand a completely different toolkit.
Designed and delivered by Daniel Ord of OmniTouch International, the pathway fills that gap with practical, real-world learning built for contact centres. Each course stands alone; together they build a complete capability foundation.
- Four standalone courses forming a structured Team Leader capability pathway
- Live online as 2 × 4.5-hour sessions on consecutive days, so leaders go deep without losing full days from the floor
- Built for Team Leaders in contact centres and customer operations, not generic leadership theory
- Public courses (book one seat or several) or private in-house programs (minimum 6 participants)
- Live online & private in-house options
- Grounded in real contact centre practice
- Global best practice from OmniTouch
