Session details

Dynamic leadership

Today’s leaders are flexible and responsive, embracing models and mindsets as diverse as the challenges they face. This management course explores the essentials of a multidimensional, creative leadership practice.

Leading through others

Delegation is a great opportunity to both scale yourself and help your team members develop new competencies. In this design management course, you’ll learn different ways of delegating and how to gracefully share responsibilities with your team members.

Intro to Coaching

Coaching is a powerful tool to empower your team and scale yourself. This session helps you move your leadership practice beyond directing and problem solving into a new mode of interaction that will enable your team to thrive.

Sustainable leadership

The key to sustainable leadership comes from within. It’s a combination of awareness, discipline, and resilience. As you transform from a manager to a leader of leaders, it’s easy to find yourself feeling stuck at different points of growth. You can’t shift from a reactive state to a creative one without first identifying where you’re currently stuck. This creative leadership course teaches you how to break away from old habits that are holding you back and limiting your impact.
