Why We Believe in This Program

When the team of five came together to create LEAD-in3, we first made sure that what we made was needed.

Our focus groups and unstructured interviews said it was. To create a program that supported leaders no matter what their formal position, we delved into what it means to lead, be a leader, informed by research, data, and lived experiences. We spent 18 months co-creating a curriculum, demonstrating pieces of it with specific audiences before launching. Now, we know it’s effective because our graduates have returned to tell us so, and we see it play out in their lives. 

Over the four in-depth retreats, we invite participants to investigate their own values and experiences from the comfort of a virtual setting. Away from their daily responsibilities, they have time to reflect on the content and share their ideas and questions, and to receive insights and support from their cohort. Working together, in small groups and as a whole, we offer pathways to develop and to become the kind of leaders who can influence change at all levels of the systems in which they operate—leaders who know themselves and influence their environment though inclusive, intentional, and integrated practice.
