Announcing the 2025 Leadership Development Cohort
Learning & and professional development are foundational to CoreNet, both at the Global level and within the Northern California Chapter. CoreNet Global’s learning programs, including the MCR and QPCR, are excellent and are highly recommended to all members.
In addition to CoreNet Global’s offerings, the Northern California chapter is once again offering our highly specialized Leadership Development program, designed specifically for you to grow your leadership capabilities (and to do so a little closer to home with your more immediate peers).
Launched in 2022 by Emily Ransone & Robert Teed, the Leadership Development Cohort (LDC) is 60 hours of synchronous and asynchronous learning across three sections: Self-discovery, Operational Excellence, and Leadership Development. In addition to the 60 hours of formalized learning, each participant has access to 3-sessions of individual leadership/executive coaching.
The LDC helps you become a better leader. You do this through highly curated and experiential content delivered by professional facilitators within a cohort of your industry peers. And, you are supported by professional leadership/executive coaches along the way.
While the LDC is open to all members, the program is geared towards emerging and mid-career leaders with 3-7 years of people management and/or team management experience, and with increasing demands on your leadership capabilities.
LDC Snapshot:
- 9-module learning series across the 3 sections of Self Discovery, Operational Excellence, and Leadership Development.
- 60 hours of learning, plus up to 3 hours of 1:1 leadership/executive coaching
- Cohort of 20 – 25 peers working contiguously across the 9 modules
LDC is open to NorCal members ONLY, and you must apply to the program as participation is limited. Acceptances into the LDC will be issued the week of December 9, 2024.
We are very excited to bring this learning experience to you and we look forward to working with you across 2025!
Schedule
The program runs from February to October. For 2025, we are considering modifying the cadence to increase the amount of in-person time AND shorten the duration between sessions. One of the two schedules below will be adopted for 2025 by the time acceptances are issued in December 2024. Your acceptance into LDC assumes you will agree to whichever of these two schedules is adopted for 2025.
Original: Sessions are held (monthly) every second Tuesday starting February 10, 2025, from 11:30a to 1:30p PT, with three (3) in-person sessions (February, July & October) and six (6) virtual sessions, for a total of 9 sessions. See the table here for the specific dates. Total learning = 20 live hours, 40 asynchronous hours
OR
Under Consideration: Sessions are held (monthly) in-person every second Tuesday starting February 10, 2025, from 2:30 to 4:00 PM PT, followed by a virtual session every fourth Tuesday from 11:30 to 1:00 PM PT, for a total of 17 sessions (9 live and 8 virtual). See the table here for the specific dates. Total learning = 26 live hours, 34 asynchronous hours
Cost
Cost will be $400 per participant (valued at over $1,000 per person.) The Chapter believes in providing value for our emerging leaders and will supplement the cost difference.
If accepted to the program, the program fee must be paid by the first session (February 10th). Participants may pay in two increments--due February 1 and April 1.
We don't want cost to be a barrier. Scholarships are available, simply complete this section on the Application.
