Whether you are an aspiring, new, or experienced manager, it’s important to always look for ways to develop your leadership skills. This program teaches you how to create happier, healthier, more motivated teams where everyone feels supported. In just eight two-hour sessions, you will learn the skills you need to effectively lead your team and your organization toward achieving its mission.

Learn from Someone Who’s Been Where You Are. 

One of our experienced facilitators will teach you core leadership competencies and challenge you to expand on what you learn through group discussions and interactive activities.

Once you’ve completed the program, you can also schedule up to three coaching sessions with the facilitator.* This is an opportunity to gain valuable insights on how to apply what you’ve learned to your workplace. The facilitator can also help you map out your career or figure out the next steps in your leadership development.

Create Meaningful Connections.

This program is also an opportunity to expand your network. You will have many opportunities to connect with other enthusiastic learners, all committed to growing as leaders.

*These sessions must be used within three months of completing the program. Coaching sessions are not intended to cover missed session content. They’re meant to support your integration of the material.

What’s the difference between an on‑demand workshop and a one‑hour webinar?

+

On‑demand workshops are full‑length recordings of our workshops and allow you to explore a topic in depth at your own pace. One‑hour webinars are shorter, condensed sessions focused on key concepts and designed for a brief introduction or refresher.

Are live virtual workshops different from in‑person workshops?

+

The learning experience is very similar. Both formats are facilitator‑led and interactive, with discussion and activities. Live virtual workshops are delivered online, while in‑person workshops take place on-site.

Do I receive a certificate after completing a training?

+

Yes. Participants receive a certificate of completion for eligible formats, including workshops, webinars, and e‑courses. Details are provided with each training.

Can this training be delivered privately for our organization?

+

Yes. All topics are available for private delivery and can be customized to your group’s context, schedule, and learning goals.
