Collaborative Leadership Program
Many leadership programs generally allow participants to discover their unique strengths and build on them.
We take it one step further. We help you become a leader who both knows their own strengths and relies on collaborating with others to complete complex initiatives successfully.
Our year-long, two-part elective course sequence plus a community service experience is designed to empower emerging leaders. You'll develop the skills necessary to build and guide effective teams, anchored in shared responsibility and values-based decision-making.
You'll learn how to inspire, connect with, and support others in achieving collective goals through a combination of self-assessment, practical exercises, case studies and lectures. We emphasize building trust and network connections, communicating effectively across diverse stakeholders, and cultivating a supportive and productive workplace. You'll be prepared to lead with empathy, integrity, and a collaborative spirit, ready to make a transformative impact in your career and communities.
