Connected Leaders Academy
Advancing racial equity by investing in future leaders
Connected Leaders Academy is a training program to help organizations make demonstrable progress on inclusion and equity, improve talent pipelines, and unlock the full potential of people within the organization.
Our programs
We offer three programs designed for leaders in different stages of their careers:
Leadership Essentials
Designed for early careerists and individual contributors with up to seven years of experience in the workforce who aspire to become team and people leaders, this program sharpens core business understanding, dives into effective day-to-day leadership and execution, examines self-leadership, and provides a robust network of peers and experts.
Management Accelerator
Designed for mid-career managers who are typically three to five levels below the C-suite and aspire to take the challenging leap into senior leadership roles. This program focuses on building core management and leadership capabilities needed to lead successful businesses and teams.
Executive Leadership Program
Designed for senior executives preparing to ascend to C-suite roles, this program focuses on building the executive leadership capabilities needed to drive transformational change within organizations and enhance the network that distinguishes successful executives to help them achieve the next critical step in their careers.
