As a Five Paths Facilitator, you already understand the basics of how to debrief scores or how there are natural tensions across the different paths. In this session, we’ll dive deeper into the nuance of how paths work together, how natural tensions manifest, and how to talk about intersection patterns.
Effective leadership is inclusive leadership. When our colleagues feel they can show up authentically in all aspects of their identities and contribute without fear of repercussion, we’re building stronger teams and stronger organizations. But this doesn’t happen automatically—it takes time, intention, and continuous learning and growth. Our Inclusive Leadership Certificate Program: Build Your Skills and Self-Awareness is designed as a first step on that journey. Academic Impressions’ leadership model takes a holistic approach to leadership across four key dimensions: self-awareness and personal development, interpersonal leadership skills, team development, and leading at the organizational level. This program takes you on a deep dive into self-awareness and personal development to help you to become a more inclusive leader. You can participate individually or with your team in this 4-week program, which explores four key questions: Each week includes resources and practical strategies to help you to lead more inclusively. The course culminates in a draft of your inclusive leadership philosophy which you can use as a guide in the future—because this work does not end with the conclusion of the program.

Now included in membership! Academic Impressions’ Five Paths to Leadership Assessment has been leveraged in our leadership programs for years. Thousands of leaders in higher ed have benefited from this dynamic model that explores and reveals how one’s leadership styles manifest under normal circumstances—and how they change under stress. Having a deeper understanding of your own leadership styles in varying situations increases your self-awareness, enhances your emotional quotient, and allows you to more effectively plan, communicate, strategize, and, ultimately, lead. Join us to learn what your own leadership styles are, how they might change under stress, and how this can apply to your team. Take the assessment prior to attending, and bring your results.

You probably already know that giving feedback to your colleagues is a beneficial thing to do. But it’s also one of the trickiest things to get right. How many times have you delivered feedback to one colleague and it goes well, and then you deliver feedback to someone else, and it goes awry? The truth is, you cannot use a cookie-cutter approach to giving feedback. The way you communicate feedback needs to be tailored to the person receiving it, so that you can motivate them to put the feedback into action. Join us to explore how you can use the Five Paths to Leadership® model to adapt the way you communicate feedback so that it really resonates with the person receiving it.
This two-day facilitation workshop will help you move beyond scripted delivery and step into facilitation that is adaptive, engaging, and deeply learner-centered. You’ll explore what effective facilitation truly entails: preparing participants, managing energy and group dynamics, and creating experiential moments that make leadership concepts memorable. Through hands-on practice, you’ll build the confidence to read the room, pivot when needed, and create an environment where every participant feels connected and supported. By the end, you’ll be equipped to deliver high-impact leadership development sessions using Academic Impressions’ specialized approach and resources as your guide. To preserve an intimate and productive experience, this workshop is capped at 30 attendees.
