Developing Leader Character

Thursday, March 6, 2025
9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

This workshop focuses on the element of leadership that has largely been neglected in leadership development: Character. Although character is often thought to be a subjective construct, this workshop argues otherwise. We will discuss the concrete behaviors associated with different eleven-character dimensions (accountability, drive, collaboration, courage, justice, temperance, humility, humanity, integrity, transcendence, and judgement) and illustrate how these behaviors can be developed, how character can be strengthened, and how it leads to improved decision making and judgement.

From Management to Leadership

Thursday, March 20, 2025
9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Every company needs leaders – those who inspire others, create change in the company, elevate profitability and expand market share. But few managers understand the unique strengths needed to become such a leader. This one-day course will help you develop the critical skills you will need to advance from tactical to strategic; from contributor to achiever; from manager to leader. Once complete, you will have the strategies, tools and techniques to enhance your leadership potential.

Presentation Skills Training

Thursday, March 27, 2025
9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Speaking clearly and confidently in public is a valuable and often essential leadership skill to possess. This course offers you a basic and practical background on the principles of public speaking, as well as practical experience with basic types of speeches. Participants will learn how to develop and strengthen skills in preparing and presenting public speaking presentations in a variety of situations. This is a practice-oriented class, where you will participate in on-camera exercises and be critiqued on your delivery.
