The Disability Leadership Institute has several major programs to support you with your leadership development. These programs are all designed and delivered by disability leaders and centred on a deep understanding of disability leadership.
Imagine being part of a small cohort working together to extend the understanding of what disability leadership is and how it works at the highest levels. Imagine working with others who are also navigating the relentless intensive demands of executive leadership while operating in positions rarely attained by disabled people.
The Executive Mastermind includes intensive workshops, access to an ongoing community of practice and a growing alumnus. It will challenge, invigorate and support you while taking you deeper into your leadership practice. You will engage in focussed discussions, come to a greater understanding of yourself and how you operate, while also bringing your expertise and specific interests to the group.
