The Self-Aware Leader: Transforming Strengths into Leadership Excellence
September 9 - 11 | 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. CityCentre Campus
About the Program
“The Self-Aware Leader” is an immersive three-day executive education experience designed for all levels of leaders seeking to elevate their leadership effectiveness through deeper self-understanding. This transformative program guides participants through a three-part journey: discovering their unique leadership strengths via Gallup’s Clifton Strengths assessment, then learning how effective conflict navigation and feedback delivery become leadership superpowers, and finally mastering emotional regulation to create lasting behavior change.
Participants will emerge with a comprehensive leadership profile that integrates their strengths foundation, emotional patterns, conflict approaches, and development priorities. Through interactive workshops, peer feedback, and practical application, leaders will learn to leverage their natural talents while navigating potential blind spots, ultimately transforming self-awareness into tangible leadership excellence that drives both personal and organizational success.
Who Should Attend
This program is particularly valuable for leaders navigating organizational change, managing diverse teams, or seeking to break through performance plateaus. Professionals who are curious about their leadership identity, open to feedback, and committed to personal growth will thrive in this experience.
