Professional Development

The Warren Bennis Leadership Institute offers programming for alumni, aspiring leaders, organizations and teams, and community partners.

We seek to provide leadership training and experiences to both for-profit and nonprofit community members. WBLI provides a variety of professional development offerings, including: 

Workshops

In this interactive workshop, you will have the opportunity to identify what Warren Bennis called ‘crucible moments’ and reflect on how they shape your identity as a leader. You will also be able to identify ways you engage in leadership behaviors today — perhaps without even realizing it — and develop strategies to solidify a stronger leader identity.  

Personal vision and mission statements provide direction and drive the realization of our goals and dreams. In this workshop, you will be guided through a series of activities to craft your own personal leadership mission statement and vision board. 

In this workshop, you will: learn how imposter syndrome is defined and how common it is, and identify examples of when you might have experienced imposter syndrome. Plus, receive tips and tactics to overcome imposter syndrome and explore strategies to mitigate and prevent it.
