Our flexible, blended model includes synchronous (scheduled) and asynchronous (self-paced) elements so professionals can learn with minimal impact on their busy lives.
COHORT-BASED PEER LEARNING
During group discussions and forums, participants get to network and learn from fellow leaders who share comparable real-world experiences and familiar challenges.

One-on-one feedback and cohort Q&A office hours with expert faculty inspire and motivate participants to complete learning and become better leaders.
BRAIN-FRIENDLY & ENGAGING CURRICULUM

The eLeadership Academy has a great format that ensures personal growth, the ability to fulfill weekly learning commitments and a weekly forum to share with others. The faculty guided us through many areas of leadership. Each week I was excited to learn and see what personal growth I would take away and apply to my daily life!
