Next Level Leadership Learning Curriculum

Supporting You in Developing Your Leadership for Leading So People Will Lead

Leadership. Good leadership is critical for people to feel connected to meaningful work. And for achieving your organization's goals.

But, leadership can feel complex. And, with all of the leadership approaches out there, it's easy to adopt practices because they are best practice, but then becoming something as a leader that isn't aligned with who you are as a person.

In this learning program, you will have the opportunity to better understand your beliefs about leadership and about leadership in today's reality of constant change. You will learn tools and skills for leadership for organizational transformation. You will learn how to work with the power of stories and with the spirit of an organization as powerful forces for the well being of the organization.

You will increase your capacity to meet the expanded leadership accountability needed in today's performance environment of constant change. You will develop an understanding of the value of developing a leadership culture that values the leadership in everyone in the organization...and the benefits of nourishing a culture of leadership.

Through this learning module, leadership is simplified and you build more confidence in your leadership as you make decisions about your unique leadership approach.

Participation in a learning path is a combination of independent self-study and online real-time facilitated mentoring circles with other program participants.  Depending on your learning preferences, you can expect approximately eight hours per module.
