Course Outline

Program Structure

Courageous Leadership is offered via our real-time, interactive online classroom, enabling you to gain leadership insights you can immediately apply on the job without having to put your work on hold.

In each session, you’ll explore methods used by one of eight iconic leaders, including:

  • Ernest Shackleton
  • Abraham Lincoln
  • Frederick Douglass
  • Dietrich Bonhoeffer
  • Rachel Carson
  • Nelson Mandela
  • Katharine Graham
  • Greta Thunberg

Participants will then break into small Leadership Development Group (LDG) sessions to unpack the lessons learned and share how they can be applied to their unique work context. Through the process, you’ll reflect on your own leadership journey and identify steps you can take to navigate the next phase of your career with greater purpose.

At the end of the course, you’ll walk away with a personal development plan, which combines lessons from the iconic leaders with reflections from the LDG sessions, providing you with actionable takeaways you can use to advance your career.
