Emerging Leader Series

Why do people leave their jobs?
The emerging top talent of today is looking for:

• Challenging and meaningful work
  
• To be valued
• A flexible schedule
  

• Development opportunities
• Effective leadership support
  

Research consistently shows that leadership development opportunities are considered a top retention initiative for both Millennials and members of Generation X. Some of the most successful retention tools are those surrounding meaningful learning and professional growth and development. Living As A Leader and MMAC are partnering to bring an important development process to your talented leaders.

The Emerging Leader Series is a process, not a program or an event -- a crucial distinction from other professional development opportunities. The series offers outstanding content and a multi-faceted approach for high-performing individual contributors who have not yet moved into a formal leadership role.

It includes six core workshops - accompanied by small-group coaching -  that is designed to develop participant's skill to effectively interact with and influence others.

Living As A Leader has provided development opportunities for 15+ years for individuals in leadership positions.

Next series will begin Tuesday, May 22, 2025
