Live Session #1: Understanding Your Five Paths to Leadership® Self-Assessment Results 

Wednesday, May 21, 2025 from 12:00-1:30 p.m. ET 

The Five Paths to Leadership® Self-Assessment will help you and your team explore how one’s leadership styles manifest under normal circumstances—and how they can change under stress. The Five Paths measures your ease of access to the five intuitive styles of leadership— Critical Thinker, Relator, Visionary, Warrior, and Sage—and helps you understand ways of achieving greater balance among them so that you can improve your overall effectiveness as a leader.  

To prepare for this session: 

If you have not already done so, please complete The Five Paths to Leadership® Self-Assessment. It should take about 15 minutes to complete. Please note that once you begin the assessment, you will not be able to save it to complete later, so make sure that you have enough time to answer all the questions. 

Once done, your results will be automatically emailed to you from webmaster@academicimpressions.com (make sure to check your inbox and spam folder) and they will also appear here: https://www.academicimpressions.com/my-account/my-five-paths-results/. 

Please come to the live virtual session with your scores on hand! Your Academic Impressions team will guide you through understanding the Five Paths model, including traits of each path and how you can use the model to better understand yourself and others.

Live Session #2: Five Paths to Leadership® Intersections

During this live virtual session, you will have the opportunity to reflect on how your leadership presents itself in normal situations and under stress and listen to how your peers approach their leadership under stress. This training will allow you to gain: 

• A greater understanding of your own leadership and how it may be impacted by stress, so that you can be better prepared to navigate stressful situations effectively. 

• A greater understanding of what drives and motivates your approach to leadership.  

• A greater understanding and appreciation of your peers’ leadership approaches, so that you can more effectively engage and collaborate with each other. 

Required Pre-Work: 

• If you haven’t already done so, make sure you complete the Five Paths to Leadership® Self-Assessment. No need to retake it if you’ve already completed it.   
• If you missed the live session in May where we completed a Five Paths to Leadership® Self-Assessment debrief, you can watch the recording here (passcode: hIG^g.p7) or gain an overview of the model through these videos.
