Advanced Leadership Program
Ignite your potential as a transformational senior leader
Former title: Meeting the Leadership Challenge
Great leadership starts with the self—and getting to know yourself as a leader is leadership’s greatest challenge.
This 5-day program for senior leaders will guide you through a powerful journey of self-discovery. Challenge your thinking on what it takes to lead in an increasingly complex world. Take a deep dive into yourself, to uncover your values, strengths and leadership style. Radiate leadership from the inside out, as you parlay self-awareness into skills for inspiring and leading people. Increase your skillset in the key areas of coaching, communication and influence. Emerge with the wisdom and confidence needed to lead your organization into the future with empathy, understanding and strength.
The Advanced Leadership Program is all about defining what happens next—in your career and in your organization. Past participants have called it “a transformational experience.” Join us to find out why!

This was the most significant, transformative experience I have ever gone through. It encouraged me to become a responsible leader who wants to create and maintain a value-driven culture of happy and successful people.
This program really resonated. We get so caught up in the daily operations of our work, we forget the most important role as a leader: to inspire, motivate and develop new leaders.
