- Chapel Hill, NCFebruary 5 - 10, 2023
ALC is an immersive personal development program comprised of three parts: one-on-one oral presentation skills coaching, a six-day residential leadership development program, and post-program one-on-one leadership coaching. Beginning on Sunday afternoon, February 5, and ending after lunch on Friday, February 10, the residential component of the Advanced Leadership Corps is held at the Rizzo Center on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill.
Part 1: Oral Presentation Skills Coaching – The coach comes to you! This preliminary session will take place in before the program begins and is scheduled at a time and place you select. You will learn how to hold an audience’s attention and begin to craft your personal leadership vision.
Part 2: Residential Leadership Program – In this week-long intensive course, you will create strong and lasting relationships with your fellow participants as you learn together in a series of activities that will strengthen your ability to effectively lead and govern. Sessions are held each day and most evenings.
Part 3: Post-program Leadership Coaching – An experienced coach will help you interpret the feedback you received from your multi-rater leadership assessments. This personal leadership coaching will help you delve further into your own behaviors and practices in a way that strengthens your capacity to lead others.
