BE LEADERSHIP ESSENTIALS COURSE

---

"If you're looking to grow as a leader and person, I would highly recommend this course" - feedback from previous course participant.

Leadership isn’t something we’re born with — it’s something we practice. BE Leadership Essentials offers developing leaders* a supportive and engaging space to learn, reflect, and grow together while building the essential human skills that define effective leadership. The course includes seven peer-to-peer learning sessions and four hours of personalized one-on-one coaching to enhance learning and support individual growth. 

Fall 2025 Cohort dates are now posted!

The group sessions will cover a variety of topics including:

• Building Trusted Connections
• Creating Psychologically Safer Spaces
• Boosting your Emotional Intelligence
• Embracing Awkward Conversations
• Coaching for Impact
• And much more

Each group session includes discussion and practices aimed at helping the participants to deepen their understanding of the various leadership skills and how they can embody these skills into their own leadership. While much of the work for this program takes place in the sessions, participants should expect some individual work both pre and post each session. At the conclusion of the course, participants will have created a first draft of a Personal Leadership User Manual** for themselves.

The individual coaching sessions allow participants to explore topics such as:

• Personal values
• Defining your leadership
• Developing a greater sense of self-awareness
• Personalized discussions focused on embodying the skills discussed in the group sessions

Registration Fee: $2500.00 + applicable taxes

Registration is limited to a maximum of 9 people.

*I define a Developing Leader as someone who is committed to growing in their leadership and who is leading/managing people in their current role.

**What is a Personal Leadership User Manual? 

A Personal User Manual (or Personal Operating Manual) is a tool that allows people to collect short descriptions of themselves such as one’s background, values, communication style, etc. These manuals are a great tool for self-reflection. They can be created for personal use or for sharing with others (e.g., colleagues).

Throughout the BE Leadership Essentials, participants will have the opportunity to create their own Personal User Manual with a focus on their leadership style.
