British Columbia Foundation Leadership Academy - May 2023

Upcoming Foundation Leadership Academy Vancouver, British Columbia Canada Part 1: May 8-12, 2023 Part 2: May 2024 THIS PROGRAM WILL BE IN-PERSON

The Foundation Academy provides a solid basis of leadership theory, tips, tools, and practical skills all intended to facilitate the success of the NEW and/or EMERGING leader. As new and/or emerging leaders, Foundation Academy participants engage in opportunities for building leadership capacity, gaining useful knowledge, perspectives, and understandings about themselves and their leadership environment. This program is designed to facilitate personal and professional growth, drawing from theoretical and practical experiences in order to help participants find their voice and build confidence.

What our participants are saying:

The week was ... mostly learning about ourselves. What I appreciated the most, about the program, is how engaged we all were. I was a bit skeptical about virtual delivery, thinking it would be a "sit and get", with listening to someone speaking all day. However, (the facilitators) did a fantastic job keeping us engaged and focused. It was the perfect amount of lectures and discussions, combined with chatting, breakout rooms, polls, and other Zoom activities. The meetings online turned out to be very interactive, and I am looking forward to the next one.
