Level 2 - Self Guided Course
Discover Your Leadership Moment
This self-guided course invites you to look inward, uncovering the values and challenges that shape how you lead — and preparing you to step forward with greater courage and clarity.
Level 3 - Self Guided Course
Leverage Your Leadership Moment
Is there a tough and seemingly intractable problem you face in your work or civic life?
As a follow-up to the Level 2 course on the “inner work” of leadership, this self-guided course focuses on applying Adaptive Leadership in professional contexts. You will identify a specific adaptive challenge to work on, from working across organizational boundaries, building partnerships, dealing with conflict to overcoming differences in values, visions and desired outcomes.
Level 4
Adaptive Leadership™ Certification & Train-the-Trainer
The need for effective leadership facilitation is increasing as our global community and organizational challenges get more complex, less certain and simply harder to manage. “Facilitation” in these contexts often extends beyond simple training facilitation to holding—and even leading—competing stakeholders through a process of creative disequilibrium to undergo a deep experiential learning process.
