Leadership Excellence and Development Series

Elevate your leadership game with LEAD – because great leaders make all the difference!

Front-line leaders tap into a variety of skills daily. In most cases, leaders are focused on their team’s production and individual member’s needs more than investing in their own learning. LEAD is an opportunity to strengthen core foundational elements of leadership along with learning techniques and best practices and collaborating with other front-line leaders to gain valuable insights.

Each live, instructor-led, virtual workshop is 90 minutes of practical, skill-based content and realistic situations with group problem-solving conversations. The learners will collaborate using a community in Miro. The program includes access to a Miro Board for all participants to contribute and collaborate on breakout room assignments, conversations, individual posts, and resources.
