A Custom Half-Day In-Person Program for the CCL Alumni Network

In today’s increasingly interconnected and crisis-prone world — where challenges pile up faster than solutions — leaders like you face more barriers than ever. You’re called upon not just to manage individual problems but to steer your team through a constantly shifting terrain of interconnected issues or “polycrises”.

We know you are busy, which is why we designed this abbreviated learning experience just for you, our CCL Alumni Network.

It is designed to the spark relationships and breakthroughs leaders need now. Together with other local alumni, you will explore the leadership trends shaping our world.

This is a complimentary experience designed specifically for our valued alumni. With only 30 seats available, your registration is a commitment to invest in yourself and further your own leadership development journey.

*If your availability changes, please let us know by canceling your registration at least 7 days prior to the event to open up your seat to another leader.

What to Expect:

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

  • A custom-programmed learning experience exploring ways to manage a web of interconnected challenges amplifying each other’s effects
  • Direct connection with CCL faculty AND one of our Senior Research Scientists
  • The opportunity to connect with local leaders and expand your professional network
  • Space to reflect and reconnect on your continued leadership journey
  • Breakfast and lunch
