EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Participants will head out on a 6-month journey over three (virtual) live classroom sessions focused on the self, organization and team, and the community. These classroom sessions are complemented by leadership assessments and executive coaching.

Further, participants will be invited to "intersession" opportunities such as panels with CEOs, review of content, and meetings with special guests. The program is underpinned by a Key Leadership Challenge that each Executive Leader brings with them and focuses on throughout the program's entirety, which culminates in a presentation for review by peers.
