The LEADERs Institute
It's more than a leadership class. It's Kansas City's cutting-edge one year leadership program.
Next cohort begins
June 2023
The LEADERs program
The L.E.A.D.E.R.s. program focuses on an individual’s career journey utilizing Dr. Ervin’s Career and Power Skills (CAPS) program. Unlike any other leadership class you’ve taken, this program will have a vertical integration from entry level to retirement.
This is a one year leadership program for leaders at all levels and stages in their careers. Cohorts will focus on these skills and how they use them as they progress through their career journey.
Participants will receive all 7 L.E.A.D.E.R.s. toolkits that will guide them monthly through their skill journey. They will also receive assessments and other tools to work through skill building to include the Working Genius and Emotional Intelligence Assessments. Everyone will be invited to participate in monthly group sessions where we discuss current skill work and review how they integrate with previous skills. We will also host closed LinkedIn groups that will allow for connections/discussions between sessions and beyond the one year program.
Session Details
Participants will receive a discount on individual coaching sessions with a member of the Catalyst Development team.
Dates: June 16, August 18, October 20, December 15, February 16, April 19
