This certificate program will benefit women in leadership, existing leaders, first-time leaders, and employees that want to gain knowledge and confidence to become leaders.

A great leader is like a captain of a sailing ship; sailing is not always, smooth seas, sunshine, sunsets, orca sightings, and beautiful beaches, it is also a lot of hard work and can be incredibly challenging and sometimes overwhelming. But a great leader needs to learn to continue to navigate despite the seasickness, the fear, and the storms we might face when the ocean is rough.

I hope you join us on this exciting cruise! Bon Voyage!
