Lead Now is a comprehensive, professional development program for motivated people who want to uplift organizations. Sessions are held monthly between September and May and will provide essential resources and practical knowledge to transform you and your leadership competence. 

Analysis: The Leadership Effectiveness Analysis™ (LEA) assessment provides feedback in six leadership functions: team playing, creating a vision, developing followership, implementing the vision, following through, and achieving results.

Understanding: You will receive a personalized debrief about the results of your analysis which provides the opportunity to set goals for development.

Application: With your coach and fellow participants, you will devise specific practice and application exercises that will solidify your understanding of key leadership and management principles.

Education: Participation in Lead Now offers additional workshop and educational opportunities during the year.

Networking: Your team will collaborate and meet nine times a year to discuss and learn from each other and from local experts.
