ALDP was on my wish list since I started at Elanco 7 years ago. Once I got the invite, the excitement to be a part of it was huge. When the program started I realized why it is a game changer in our leadership skills. ALDP is not only a large learning opportunity for key skills to be a great leader, but also a unique moment to network and share challenges in a safe environment with other strong leaders. ALDP has given me knowledge and a network to help me tackle a variety of challenges.

There are many opportunities at Elanco for professional development and career growth. I’ve been fortunate to take on a secondment role in a different functional area, which gave me great experience and was the stepping stone into my current management role. I’ve also participated in Elanco’s Women in Leadership Program, where I’ve expanded my knowledge in areas such as business acumen and building trust as a leader.

— Melissa Wallis – Customer Excellence Manager

The ELP program provided me with excellent training on topics that are relevant and impactful, such as: strategies to influence others, having crucial conversations, working in a diverse team, and leadership styles. The program also brought some of our company’s top leaders to serve as mentors during the training. Learning about their career paths and leadership styles was a great opportunity. I highly recommend this program!
