Building an In-House Leadership Development Program in Higher Education
April 27 - 28, 2020 | Eastern Time
As the coronavirus pandemic unfolds nationally, it is so important to keep connecting and networking with your peers - at a “social distance” - and to keep learning and developing as higher-ed leaders and professionals. Don’t let social distancing and quarantines prevent you from setting aside time for professional development. Everything is changing so fast; more than ever, we need to be pooling our resources and knowledge and finding the best ways to develop our capacity, connect and share with each other, and move forward during a challenging time.
Virtual Conferences are FREE* with your All-Inclusive membership. Sign up today.
The Academic Impressions Virtual Conference Experience
Our virtual conferences go far beyond just replicating PowerPoint presentations online: these new programs are intentionally designed to give you the kind of robust and dynamic learning experience you’ve come to expect from Academic Impressions. As higher education strives to adapt rapidly to the shifting crisis, connecting with your peers who are experiencing similar challenges can be the best use of your professional development time.
What you will get:
- A dynamic, interactive, and high-touch virtual learning experience designed to engage and set you up for growth
- Seamless online face-time, networking, group work, and Q&A opportunities from the comfort of your own workspace
- Practical takeaways and hands-on knowledge
- Unlimited access to all recorded online sessions
- Access to an online conference hub — one-stop shop for presentation materials, attendee introductions, worksheets, supplemental reading, videos, and other resources
This is the only program of its kind designed to help you build a leadership program for higher-ed faculty and staff
Early Bird Pricing Expires in:
Institutions across North America are actively building in-house leadership development programs (LDP) that can identify and groom future leaders. While the corporate sector has a long history of developing leaders, there are a number of challenges unique to the university environment and culture that must be well understood and planned for.
Join us for a one-of-a-kind program that will help ensure your in-house LDP is highly effective and impactful over the long-term. We will cover key components of organizing your LDP as well as dozens of resources and activities that you can incorporate in your program.
Who Should Attend
This program has been designed for those who are just starting out or are trying to make an existing ad hoc program more comprehensive. We welcome those who have primary responsibility for the design, development, and oversight of the in-house leadership development program. This could include representatives from the President’s office, Provost’s office, Human Resources, Learning & Development, Faculty Affairs, and others.
A Proven Roadmap
Past participants of this workshops have been able to successfully launch or improve numerous leadership programs. In fact three of the four speakers presenting case studies int this virtual conference (Clemson, Marquette & Georgia Tech) all attended this same workshop.
Limited Attendance
In order to ensure a high-quality learning experience, we have intentionally designed this Virtual Conference to have a limited number of total attendees. To ensure access from both paying participants and also from those who have an All-Inclusive membership, when the membership cap is reached, only paying participants can register after that point (while spaces are still available). If you have questions about whether this program is right for you, please contact us.
Follow Through With Success Coaching
Have you ever gone to a training only to find that you came back with great ideas but don’t have the time, support, or skills needed to make the changes?
Academic Impressions has produced thousands of trainings and we have learned that utilizing a coach after attending a conference helps provide accountability and bridges the training with the on-the-ground work of getting the job done.
As a result, we are now offering success coaching on select conferences.
- Purchase this training + 3 one hour follow up success coaching calls
- Work with an assigned coach who has extensive experience in higher ed.
- Get individualized support to help you follow through on what you’ve learned.
- Workshop your plans, run your ideas by someone and get additional help/practice.
