All-Class Sessions

In these core sessions, fellows meet in large and small groups, as well as individual sessions to build self-mastery, deepen understanding of racism and equity, and gain knowledge and skills relevant to community engagement and leading in place.

Community Cohort Convenings

Between all-class sessions, fellows participate in a smaller community cohort, where they go deeper on issues specific to their communities and practice new knowledge and skills.

Professional Coaching Sessions

Each fellow is paired with one of the Center for Creative Leadership’s global cadre of executive coaches. One-on-one coaching sessions guide fellows in bringing class material to life on their leadership journey.
