Leadership Foundation Program

What Participants have said about the program

• “This program has been transformative in my career. It has instilled confidence in myself as a leader and equipped me with skills that have helped me leading teams.”
• “The greatest benefits of the program were the connections to colleagues across the University, and the many practical tools I’m certain I will reference for years to come.”
• “I am different as a leader now than at the start of the program because of my increased self-awareness and acceptance.  The DiSC assessment and Understanding Yourself as a Leader session were invaluable in helping me recognize that there is more than one type/style of a successful leader.  This knowledge has helped to increase my confidence, and approach challenging situations in a more proactive manner.”
• “Connecting with other leaders across the university!  This is the best gift of the program.  I found connection with others, even if their work is radically different from mine, we still share some similar challenges.”
• “My most significant takeaways from the program are the importance of having the hard conversations, being a coach rather than a knowledge holder for my team, and effective leadership is intentional and requires ongoing commitment and work.”
