GISC’s Mastering Executive Leadership program provides an opportunity for senior leaders who are up to the challenge of creating a thriving future for themselves and their organizations.
You will build a foundational deep understanding of your current leadership. With this newfound awareness, you will establish a personal development agenda and will be challenged and supported to hone your leadership capability.
With a cohort of like-minded senior leaders, you will engage in powerful learning experiences that will enable you to experiment with new concepts, tools and behaviors, and grow personally while expanding your capacity to lead effectively in an increasingly complex world. Extensive feedback from faculty, peers and others throughout the program will accelerate your development.
One-on-one executive coaching between sessions is an integral part of the program. Between session coaching provides continued opportunity to reflect and make progress on your development agenda. Your coach will support and challenge you to apply learnings in your current leadership role.

"The Mastering Executive Leadership program at GISC provided me with insights and tools to help grow my business, make it more successful, and provide my team with growth opportunities of their own. I recommend this experience to any leader who is seeking to grow and improve their leadership.."
Ben DeRuyter,
Business Owner
"This GISC course offers a supportive, energized and informed environment for learning. The complexity of leadership is not boiled down or simplified but unpacked and examined in a practical manner. The process allows experience of, discussion about, and practice of many key elements among a supportive and smart group of diverse colleagues. Time well spent.”
