WHAT CAN PARTICIPANTS EXPECT?
The program contains 8, 90-minute, virtual modules taking place on a mid-week day in the evening. Sessions will contain 15-20 participants, and will be led by highly senior as well as earlier-stage executives from across sectors. The modules are highly interactive, pragmatic, and real-world focused. Much of the leadership learning comes through the work of the participants amongst one another, including in small group breakouts.
Each module is built around real-world leadership challenges. Participants are expected to attend all New Leaders-related events and lectures and complete all assigned tasks. You will have significant opportunities to network and speak with module leaders, and to participate in round-table discussions and case studies.
HOW DO WE STAY CONNECTED ONCE THE PROGRAM ENDS?
Upon completion of the New Leaders Program, participants will be invited to join the New Leaders Network. Our goal in this is to provide a continued connection with the participants, and to continue relevant thoughtful conversations. The network comes at no additional cost, and meets for one hour on the second Tuesday of each month.
