Emerging Leaders

Join this interactive and practical guide to leadership through personal and professional growth.

Are you looking for an opportunity to develop as an Emerging Leader in your organization and community?

Emerging Leaders is an in-depth and practical guide that goes beyond competencies and skill-building. It is an interactive journey that gives leaders a road map to navigate the challenges of personal and professional growth. This is done by providing an environment that promotes the exchange of ideas and shared experiences among leaders.

Within this group, you will have access to individuals with whom you can exchange ideas and share strategies to achieve personal and professional growth and success. You will learn with and from others how you can integrate ethics, spirituality and integrity into your day-to-day work life while balancing work, family, service, and self from a values-based perspective.

“For me, one of the biggest benefits is meeting people outside of my normal network of life, and to commit on a deep level to share experiences and stories together.”

“The self-awareness that came from the reflections and discussions from the series has really helped ground me in my work and personal life. From hearing from others in the group, there is plenty more to learn for myself and others.”
