“This program met and surpassed my personal learning goals . . . I was pleasantly surprised as to how I felt my own professional growth evolve during the course. There was a perfect balance of learning opportunities in formal classroom settings, together with breakout sessions that fostered mutual experiential learning from other participants. I would strongly recommend this course for senior leaders to further develop their leadership skills.”

“Simply put, Stanford University’s Executive Leadership Development Program is a game-changer. The course will teach you things about yourself that you were never cognizant of prior to the sessions, while simultaneously challenging you to think outside the box as to your approach as a leader. You’ll share a classroom with some of the brightest minds from myriad industries, blending best practices and developing skills that you’ll take with you for the rest of your career.”

“ELD was a life-changing experience. It equipped me with both structured theories and practical skills, to think and engage, to strategize and execute. The authenticity, vulnerability, and trust the classmates share goes beyond the class and form lasting friendships and support. The knowledge, confidence, and community I gained have made me a better leader and a better person.”

Executive Leadership Development is ideal for rising leaders preparing to take on more significant leadership roles.
