The Arden Leadership Academy Advantage
Our Leadership Academy program offers a level of unparalleled efficacy, thanks to our unique structure of pairing one-on-one coaching with group training. The DiSC assessment helps them understand their communication style and learn to flex for greater effectiveness in their tasks and relationships. During the course of the program, participants partner with our expert coaches to set goals.
We also leverage the power of group leadership learning, as participants take part in interactive leadership trainings to explore customized leadership topics and practice their new skills. In between sessions, participants have individual time with their coach to help integrate learnings and create a plan to apply new skills. This powerful combination of group training and one-on-one coaching helps participants quickly put their newfound competencies into action, making the Arden Leadership Academy a uniquely effective program.
