Higher education is facing several disruptive trends. As a leader, you need to create substantive—not incremental—change.  If this feels like a difficult task, join us for this one-of-a-kind program that will help you to explore how you can lead for the impact you desire.  

In this three-day program, you’ll explore how to overcome the following three barriers that make change daunting:  

• Personal: Leading change can be stressful, and it requires you to be adaptive and responsive despite the stress. Through the Five Paths to Leadership® Self-Assessment and a 360 Feedback Assessment completed by your colleagues on campus, you’ll explore your natural leadership style and how it might shift in times of stress. A hallmark of this program is your one-on-one meeting with a program facilitator to review and understand your 360 Assessment results. By gaining greater self-awareness, you’ll be better able to identify ways to maximize your effectiveness, especially when things get difficult.  

• Team: Leading change requires you to align large groups around a new direction or vision.  By participating in hands-on, simulated activities, you’ll walk away with new strategies and techniques you can use on your campus to unite people and build high-performing teams capable of fast-paced, complex change. 

• Systemic: Leading change requires you and your team to challenge established norms and translate those challenges into opportunities. You’ll participate in hands-on activities that teach you how to scan the horizon for opportunities, and you’ll discuss what behaviors are most needed to create a culture that embraces innovation. 

Our Advanced Leadership Development workshop has strengthened the skills of hundreds of higher ed leaders since 2012, but we’ve redesigned the experience for 2025 to address the enormous challenges that are already here or are on the way. Register now to reserve YOUR spot.  

Optional Executive Coaching: One of the benefits of this workshop is that you’ll walk away with several big ideas that you can implement to drive impact on your campus. Consider adding Executive Coaching—six sessions with a coach who has extensive experience in higher education—so that you have a partner to help you think through how to implement those big ideas after the workshop.
