Ignite Leadership Development Program

IGNITE THE SPARK!

The Ignite program provides the spark for organizations seeking to develop rising talent. It exposes participants to skills, ideas, and established area leaders, offering a space to explore personal and professional leadership development, and catapult emerging leaders into situations that create value and impact.

Ignite Program for Emerging Leaders

For High Potential Leaders

Ignite is a cross-sector, diverse cohort of emerging, regional leaders who are curious to learn, develop, and make a greater impact both professionally and civically. Not age-specific, they have been identified by senior leadership as being on a trajectory for growth. Their spark is ready to Ignite!

Ignite program participants

Enhanced Leadership

Ignite will develop and enhance power skills around self-awareness, building trust, managing teams, conflict management, and networking. Learning from established and expert leaders in their fields, participants will return to their professional and civic spheres of influence with confidence, renewed perspective, and practical tools to lead more effectively.
