Leadership

Discover Your Purpose 

What are you doing here? Possibly the hardest question to answer, but we can help. You will have to answer the question for yourself, but through our leadership development programs, we can help you discover your purpose. Leadership is about people, voice, learning, and action. It's about connecting with your heart to understand your ability to change the world. It's constantly evolving, but staying true to itself. The Holden Center is going to take everything you think you know about leadership, stretch it, challenge it, push it, and build you into the leader you've always wanted to be.

Start with Your Strengths

While we are here to help get you connected and further develop your leadership skills, you already have so much you’ve learned that comes with you. Leadership looks different on every single one of us and each brings their own style and strengths. You probably already use these strengths every day. But how do your strengths combine with another person's strengths? What strengths complement yours to form the most versatile and effective team? The strength of a team is in the individual and the strength of the individual is in a team. Learn how your strengths stand out and will make your team that much stronger.
