Success in any industry is increasingly dependent on your behavioral skills—above and beyond your technical skills. Behavioral skills include expanding your self-awareness, understanding what motivates you, managing yourself in various situations, learning to be open to helpful feedback, and forming productive relationships with others. These skills are a vital differentiator in determining your overall effectiveness at work and shaping your personal and career growth.

How will Foundations of LeaderCORE help me?

We know employers look for more than technical skills when making hiring decisions. Career success and overall happiness are directly related to emotional intelligence. Foundations of LeaderCORE provides you with an opportunity to develop self-awareness, build on your strengths and bridge any gaps through competency development.
