Five Paths to Leadership℠ Self-Assessment Facilitation Certification Training 

More details about the timing of the workshops (online or in-person) can be found by clicking Learn More and Register, but what we’ll cover in each workshop is below:

Situating the Five Paths to Leadership℠
To kick off the experience, we’ll share why the Five Paths to Leadership℠ can be used as a tool for both personal effectiveness and leadership development at all levels from leading others to leading systems.

Understanding the Model
We’ll take a deep dive into what sets the Five Paths to Leadership℠ apart from other leadership assessments, as well as how the model is structured, how stress plays into the scoring, and how scoring works.

Presenting Each Path
You’ll develop a deeper understanding of the way to present each of the five paths, along with how you can support or manage up to those who have that path as their highest path. You’ll have a chance to practice facilitating multiple paths in pairs and in groups so you can become comfortable with how to explain each path and how to answer questions about them.

Understanding the Sage
The Sage can be a confusing path, since it is a practice and not a leadership style. We’ll share a deeper understanding of how the Sage works within the Five Paths to Leadership℠ model, and how practice, reflection, and feedback are the keys to growth as a leader. You’ll reflect on how you would present the Sage and have a chance to practice.

Debriefing Full Scores
People lead from their whole set of scores, not just from their highest path. Understanding the full score deepens their knowledge of how to lead in different contexts. We’ll share how paths are in balance or tension with each other so you can see how to dig into someone’s entire profile. You’ll practice asking questions about an entire profile.

Practicing Your Facilitation
While there is time for practice throughout the training, during the final session you’ll work in small groups to conduct a whole Five Paths facilitation, applying what you’ve learned from previous sessions. A certified Academic Impressions coach will work with you to provide guidance and feedback.

Certification Process
Attending this event is your first step toward certification. Following the session, you will have:

1. Access to three one-on-one coaching sessions with AI staff to provide just-in-time support to help you to prepare, design, and facilitate Five Paths trainings on your own campus.
2. The ability to begin delivering workshops on your own campus. Participants will be required to rate your facilitation using an Academic Impressions evaluation form. To receive the certification, you must meet specific benchmarks in terms of your effectiveness (details to be shared at the workshop).

Please note that certification enables you to facilitate Five Paths workshops for as many audiences as you’d like, at the organization of your current employment. Facilitation of the Five Paths to Leadership℠ workshops outside of your organization is expressly prohibited.
