Executive Leadership Program
About Executive Leadership
Senior leaders are uniquely positioned to transform their organizations and the communities they touch. To be able to accomplish this, these leaders must learn to see themselves in new ways — now, and over the course of their careers.
This is not your typical leadership development program. We believe that leaders already possess many of the technical and interpersonal skills that have helped them to achieve their current role. Instead, this program will focus on cultivating an expansive, agile leadership mindset that has the capacity to embrace innovation and lead change. This is 21st century leadership.
This cohort experience will provide a collaborative environment where leaders can tap into the collective brilliance of their peers and be guided by leadership experts and personal executive coaches to work on real challenges they face. The result is an invigorated, purposeful and supportive network of leaders who are motivated to move forward — as individuals and together — to inspire a ripple effect of unprecedented positive change throughout their organizations and communities.
