Description

The Emerging Leaders Experience equips participants to lead effectively in their current roles, with an eye toward helping them advance to the next level. Equipped with a personal profile completed before the event, participants will better understand the strengths, struggles, style, and tendencies that shape their leadership style, enabling them to make a unique and valuable contribution to their organizations.

This in-person, immersive program combines the benefits of peer-to-peer learning with participants from other organizations, with practical follow-up tools for sponsors to apply the learning experience to their specific needs. A bonus virtual session 30-60 days after the event provides a follow-up on progress and an opportunity for troubleshooting real-time leadership challenges.
