Transforming Leadership Certificate Program

The skills and abilities that make an employee an excellent individual contributor are distinct from the skills and abilities essential to being a successful manager or supervisor. For managers to promote an environment that is engaging for individuals across ethnic, gender, gender orientation, and generational backgrounds, they must be proactive and develop a capacity to listen, to motivate, and to inspire action in those on their team or in their department.

SDEA’s Transforming Leadership Certificate is ideal for both new managers and those interested in expanding their leadership capabilities. Expert instructors will teach participants to leverage both technical skills and people skills to meet new challenges with increased confidence and expertise.
