Empowering Leaders in Higher Education
Leadership Development and Continuous Learning for Leaders Across Campuses
Since 2017, we have been grateful to partner with multiple campuses across a geographic region, to equip and empower leaders across their institutions. What began as a single course as part of a leadership development series evolved into a comprehensive, annual, signature leadership development program on campus, based on feedback from participants and their leaders.
The Opportunity
Higher education has faced tremendous change over the past several years. Navigating budget cuts, campus consolidations, and employee turnover, several campuses came together with a goal of equipping and empowering their leaders across roles, levels, and campuses to lead effectively through these tumultuous times —and to find ways to fill their own cups, which in many cases had become empty.
Our Approach
We put together a signature leadership program for leaders across these campuses, which involves a two-day, back-to-back annual leadership experience, with an alumni offering on the second day. The coolest part of this experience? Having alumni who participated in the program nearly a decade ago, in its earliest iterations, join us for the alumni gathering.
Key Program Elements
A structured, annual program for leaders, managers, supervisors, and high-potential employees across campuses and levels.
Alumni Gathering
A way for all program alumni to come together to reconnect, remember, and leave refreshed and revitalized.
Ongoing Partnership
Ongoing, joyful partnership with leaders across campuses to design an annual program that best meets their current needs and solves their of-the-moment challenges.
The Impact
Over the past three years, this partnership has equipped leaders across campuses, and across roles—to lead more effectively, clearly, and confidently. The program has impacted leaders ranging from long-term faculty members to kitchen supervisors to the facilities team to the marketing leads.

Honestly, being in a room with Sarah is so invigorating. Her thoughtful responses to the situations we are all dealing with are calming and helpful! I enjoy how she is willing to go with the flow and reads the room to best accommodate all in attendance.”
