Aviation Leadership in Action
Throughout the Emerging Leaders Program, participants don’t just learn about leadership, they live it. By engaging in a series of real-world activities, self-reflections, and applied leadership practices, each participant actively integrates what they’re learning into their current role and workplace. From conducting leadership interviews to developing a personal vision and 6-month leadership roadmap, this applied learning model ensures participants gain tangible experience and demonstrate their leadership growth in action.
Aviation-Specific. Women-Centered. Action-Oriented.
Unlike other emerging leaders programs, this one is built for women in aviation; by people who understand the industry.
Here’s what sets it apart:
Every module speaks directly to the realities of aviation, including how to navigate complex structures, industry networking, and leadership pathways.
We focus on who you are as much as what you can do. Emotional intelligence, personal growth, and conscious leadership are core to our curriculum.
The real-world leadership application ensures learning goes beyond theory and translates into action that benefits both the participant and their organization.
Participants gain a supportive network of peers, mentors, and coaches; all committed to lifting one another up in their leadership journey.
We introduce the concept of ladder and lattice growth; acknowledging that leadership doesn’t always follow a straight line.
Many organizations recognize the value of leadership development and are willing to invest in their employees’ growth. If you’re interested in joining the Emerging Leaders Program, consider approaching your employer to request funding or cost-sharing support.
To make it easy, we’ve created an information package designed specifically for employers that outlines the benefits of this program for both individuals and organizations.
