You will be expected to put into action what you have learned in a specific setting, or context, of your choice where you can use your leadership skills. Although you do not need to be a formal leader, you can use a formal leadership position as a context for applying what you are learning. You may also use an informal leadership context, where you are regularly and consistently influencing the same people to accomplish tasks and work together as a group. In total, you can expect to spend about 2.5 hours a week participating in this program. It is essential that you participate in at least 85% of all workshop and coaching sessions.
