EMERGING LEADERS
LEADERSHIP FROM THE INSIDE OUT
This unique, live, online program engages you as an emerging leader, wherever you are in your career. Even if you’ve done leadership training before, this is a fresh experience—you hold up a mirror, see yourself anew, and engage in a dynamic learning lab with peers.
Explore the roots of your impact—from personal style to culture to gender and beyond—and make better decisions through better awareness. This experience, particularly coming out of the pandemic, strengthens your creative power and resilience.
New cohort forming now for September start.
Listening practicum
About the Practicum
As we resurface from the pandemic, what better time to focus on our listening skills? While we practice, you will get re-socialized and re-energized around the foundational leadership skill of listening.
Learn how to focus your attention and connect in a way that opens pathways for people to express their unique needs, abilities, and willingness to contribute.
By the end of this course, you will be able to
-
Determine when heightened listening skills are required and how to listen attentively
-
Create productive listening environments that result in solutions
-
Identify how to work with their personal strengths and limitations around listening
