Upcoming Classes

Extraordinary Leader 

The Extraordinary Leader Workshop utilizes proven research and a 360-degree feedback assessment to promote the learning and growth of leaders. This program is designed for mid- and senior-level leaders who have served in their role for at least nine months. The program consists of two sessions. After the introductory session, leaders invite those they work with to provide feedback about how they demonstrate a set of specific leadership competencies. The second session focuses on helping the leader analyze their feedback report and use the results to create a plan for their own development.

The Extraordinary Leadership Workshop is a two-part class and attendance is required at both sessions.

  • Cohort 1: 01/23/25 8:00AM-10:30AM (Zoom) and 02/13/25 8:00AM-4:00PM (Zoom) Learn More
