The program consists of three independent tiers of six classes each, held bi-weekly. Most sessions include both instruction and interactive activities to promote learning and implementation. Upon completion of each tier, participants receive a Leadership Certificate specific to that tier.
A participant does not have to take Tier 1 sessions prior to taking Tier 2 sessions. Tier 1, 2, and 3 sessions are independent sessions that can be taken in any order.
Emerging Leaders Tier 1
Classes are from 7:00am - 9:00am
Communication
- Many organizations focus on technical skills as all-important to success in the workplace. Yet strong interpersonal skills are essentially equally essential in transforming individual contributors into exceptional performers who have a greater impact in their roles. This foundation course provides individuals with a powerful set of interaction skills that enables them to communicate more effectively with colleagues and customers and, in the process, build trust, strengthen partnerships and achieve desired results.
Developing Yourself & Others
- Development is critical to attracting and retaining talent, employee engagement, preparing future leaders and ultimately ensuring the success of the organization. Learn a practical process to guide your own, as well as your direct reports’, development planning efforts. Create plans that support the current and future business needs of the organization.
Meeting Facilitation
- Preparation and participation are the two pillars of a successful meeting. People who sit through an entire meeting without becoming involved might just as well not have come to it at all. The leader must determine the exact objectives to be accomplished. This class will cover the keys to meeting productivity, including the valuable role they play in leading it effectively.
