Leadership Exploration and Development Program
Flagship Program
LEaD is designed for the leader in all of us. Not everyone wants to be in a formal management position, but we believe everyone is a leader. This program can be for a leader at any level who is in a position with formal authority, or not, and wants to grow.
Who is a Good Fit for Leadership Exploration and Development (LEaD)?
6 Week Class
LEaD is especially helpful for new and emerging supervisors and managers so they can gain confidence as they face new challenges and enter positions of greater influence. LEaD stimulates discussion so that people can clarify their beliefs, values and style of leadership and refine behaviors that support achieving their specific goals. This program will not “make” anyone a leader, but it will bring awareness, understanding and knowledge of critical traits and skills.
Format:
- Live, in person workshops of substantive, thought-provoking content.
- Learning activities, resources and practical tools to use right away.
- Interaction with other participants to practice, support and integrate the learning.
- 1:1 coaching support between sessions with an ICF Certified Coach.
