ProLEAD Certificate Program
Becoming a great leader takes an entirely different skill set from where you started as an entry-level employee. Unless you have been taken under the wing of a great mentor or participated in an immersive training program at your organization, you're learning to swim in an ocean of uncharted waters with unpredictable challenges and definite obstacles every day.
The ProLEAD program is designed for those with basic managerial skills who are seeking more guidance and insight on tough topics that keep them up at night, such as terminating employees and confronting difficult people in threatening situations.
To earn the ProLEAD certificate, participants must attend at least seven of the 10 classes, dial in to both individual coaching calls, and attend the required one-hour Habit Builder seminar.
