Certificate in leadership excellence
Cultivate your leadership style.
This program helps build leadership excellence that will help you become adept at analyzing, interpreting, and appropriately responding to situations that call for leadership interventions. You will gain insights into how your own leadership styles and approaches may either facilitate or impede your leadership effectiveness.
The Certificate in Leadership Excellence is built on theme-based learning to create a highly engaging experience.
Throughout the 6 module program, participants will join a diverse cohort of individuals from varying positions and industries. The cohort experience will allow participants to grow from a multitude of perspectives while being part of a learning community where your growth is supported and encouraged.
Excellence Canada’s goal is to create a diverse learning community for a cohort of 25 participants for each program session.
To achieve your certification, you must successfully complete, within the official timespan, the published certificate curricula from the year you registered in the certificate program. In some circumstances, certificate requirements may change, resulting in courses no longer being available. In such cases, Course Substitutions may be requested.
There are 6 modules in the Certificate in Leadership Excellence Program. Each module relates to a leadership excellence topic and is delivered using a theme which is supported by academic literature.
Over the 6 modules, participants will engage in facilitated remote learning experiences, group learning, peer feedback, action planning, and personal development in order to become effective leaders in their organizations.
Each participant will assess their baseline leadership excellence prior to the first module using the simple “Leadership Excellence Wheel” survey to highlight areas that require attention and improvement. They will do a second assessment at the end of the program to show their progress and understand strengths and opportunities for improvement in the future.

What our clients are saying…
The Excellence Canada training has provided a practical tool kit and solid platform from which to prompt strategic change with my organization.
I really enjoyed the new “webinar” approach to the courses I was able to take. I learned at my own pace and on my own time. The information was clear and the material was easy to reference in the books that accompany the coursesion.
After doing the webinars, I honestly have the feeling that this media is as good as the in class course, meaning that I learned as well by Webinar than being in class.
