Become the leader every organization needs. Earn the certificate that proves you're ready.

Communication skills. Strategic skills. Sharply-tuned analytic skills. Top-performing leaders not only display these qualities, they apply them quickly and decisively in a wide range of demanding situations.

This comprehensive exploration of effective leadership combines three courses to provide leaders with the skills and insight to become perceptive and action-oriented decision makers who create positive results.

Complete these three courses and earn a certificate:

  • Strategic and Innovative Thinking
  • Impacting Organizational Culture
  • Critical Leadership Skills

The Leadership and Innovation Certificate program offers participants multiple opportunities to practice and apply the skills they are learning in individual and team activities that emphasize teamwork, communication, analysis, strategy, and successful execution.

Course Format:

The program is conducted mostly via online live session but each course also includes an optional two-hour in-person networking session for each of the three courses that is designed to be interactive and engaging. You will meet with your peers and learn about your leadership style while applying specific leadership principles. The information gained will enhance your ability to be an effective leader and improve your professional and personal skills. Some pre-session work may be required.
