“The Coro Executive Leadership Network experience was a transformative one, both personally and professionally; following years of leading through the COVID pandemic, the space created by the program team and my colleagues in ELN was a much-needed refuge where I could focus on my own growth and realignment of my values. I emerged a better version of who I previously was – reinvigorated and with a re-doubled commitment toward leading for change that is more just and equitable for the communities I serve.”
– Sarah Figueroa-Freeman, (ELN, 2022), Vice President & Chief Operating Officer, Para Los Niños
Meeting across a variety of in-person and virtual full- and half-day sessions from January to May, ELN includes the following program components:
- Leadership Seminars – Facilitated executive leadership development sessions that center the unique challenges and opportunities of executive leadership and multi-stakeholder management. Sessions provide participants with frameworks to engage in deep professional and leadership reflection to develop strategies and relationships to navigate teams through uncertainty.
- Individualized Executive Coaching & 360 Assessment – Participants will engage with an executive coach throughout the length of the program. This executive coaching will kick off with a comprehensive personal 360 assessment leveraging the Leadership Versatility Index™, which provides leaders actionable insights into their motivators, behaviors, and blind spots enabling a deeper understanding of interpersonal dynamics and promoting higher performance. Using the results of this assessment, the executive coach conducts one-on-one sessions with each participant to support their development of an action plan and address the opportunities identified in the assessment.
- Peer Consultancies – An adaptive leadership peer coaching module to better diagnose professional challenges and determine possible steps to test solutions in an empowered environment with experienced professionals.
- Leadership Journey Networking Dinners – Coro curated dinner after select sessions over the course of the program will further enable participants to build meaningful relationships with cohort colleagues. Coro will also invite other seasoned regional leaders and executives into this space to further enhance the ELN program networking opportunities.
