Program Overview
Black leaders can experience commonly shared obstacles and challenges as they progress in their careers. The successful navigation of professional environments requires a commitment to personal well-being, the intentional creation of strong networks, and the development of a personalized vision of purpose and success. When positioned to thrive, Black leaders can have tremendous impact in their organizations and communities and pave the way for future generations to do the same.
This executive leadership program is designed to inspire, energize, and prepare Black leaders, and those working for their success, by providing tools to help them thrive professionally and personally, as well as improve their organizations’ culture, productivity, and collective well-being.
