About the event
Join our 12-month leadership development journey with our world-class coaches and facilitators, where we’ll showcase the transformative learning environment we've cultivated.
Are you ready to elevate your leadership skills to new heights? Our NEXT Generation Leadership Course is an engaging live-virtual program designed to equip you with the essential strategies and skills to lead effectively in today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving landscape. Too often, young professionals navigate leadership through trial and error—at a high cost. The gap between completing your education and truly understanding how to thrive in your new role can be significant. NEXT bridges that gap by providing you with the tools to excel. Today’s workplace demands more than just technical knowledge; it requires the soft skills and intangible qualities that distinguish good managers from exceptional leaders.
Our course draws on proven skills honed by senior military leaders—skills that are seldom taught in traditional settings. Through a unique blend of Mastermind-style collaboration, online education, and personalized leadership coaching, you’ll gain exclusive insights and strategies used across the U.S. military. Our seasoned instructors share real-world experiences on conducting meetings, mastering time management, resolving executive-level conflict, and living a disciplined, values-driven life.
