9:15 AM Field-Tested Truths - Making Leadership Development Work

In this candid conversation, UNC Executive Development sits down with Liz Dorney-Wilcox, a recently retired Head of Executive Development at AbbVie with decades in the field, to share what she finds actually works [and what doesn't] in leadership development when the stakes are high.

Together, we'll unpack the real pressures L&D leaders face (short timelines, shifting priorities, unrealistic expectations, imperfect measurement) and the practical moves that turn leadership development from a set of programs into a lever for transformation: aligning to strategy, building talent pipelines, breaking cross-functional silos, creating reinforcement beyond the classroom, and telling a credible impact story without perfect data.
