THE ASCENDING
LEADERSHIP CERTIFICATE

What happens when middle managers are promoted into senior management positions? Often, they are asked to take on significant new responsibilities without the benefit of additional formal training.

"I was promoted into this job two years ago.  I need more tools! "

New senior managers often find themselves struggling through “on-the-job” training, while trying to survive in very fast-paced and demanding environments. Suddenly they are asked to think and respond to organizational opportunities and challenges from a "macro" point of view.

The Ascending Leadership Certificate is designed to prepare middle managers for the great leap in mindset that must occur when they move from managing a department to leading an organization. This training program is focused on analyzing organizational systems and business functions. Workshops target the organization’s culture, its strategic planning processes, its internal leadership development, its financial and fundraising systems, the strength of its infrastructure, and its organizational accountability.  Ascending Leaders will also learn steps for effective career planning.
