Walsh College Announces New Leadership Certification Series
Troy, MI (PRWEB) November 15, 2014 -- People get promoted every day, eager to make the ascent in their career. One thing that can help professionals move ahead more quickly, and stay ahead successfully, is proper leadership training, so that the transition between worker bee and manager of the hive is a smooth one. Walsh College addresses that gap in the workplace with a dynamic new leadership certification series, to begin January of 2015.
Leadership-YOU, taught by renowned leadership experts Dr. Lee Meadows and Diane Morrison, is ideal professional development for mid-level managers and recently promoted leaders from small and mid-sized companies. It’s perfect for companies that don’t have need for on-site custom training or which do not provide in-house leadership training, but whose leaders of today want to invest in grooming tomorrow’s leaders.
The 2015 course takes place on seven twice-monthly sessions beginning January 8, 2015 and concluding April 9, 2015.
Cost is $1,725 per person (with volume discounts for teams from the same company). Early bird discounts for registrants before December 15, 2014 are $1,595 per person. This course is produced through the Walsh Institute, Walsh College’s professional development arm.

“The practical success of leaders is rooted in their ability to blend knowledge and skills in a cycle of consistent results achieved through a highly motivated team of committed players,” says Meadows.

"It has always been my personal vision to make the world a better place to work, one leader at a time,” says Morrison. “The most important relationship a leader has in the workplace is the one with his/her employees. This course will provide leaders with the practical skills and knowledge to improve how they motivate people and obtain results."
“The Walsh Institute excels in providing certifications and courses with practical application that our students can take back to their workplaces,” says Tara Miceli, Director, The Walsh Institute. “It is exciting to launch this new leadership course with Walsh College’s signature strategy for excellence in the academic sphere as well as in the marketplace. It is an opportunity that has not been offered quite like this locally, and today’s workplaces will certainly benefit from more informed, strategic and confident leaders.”
The course itinerary includes sessions on Delegation, Conflict Management & Resolution, Coaching for Performance, Emotional Intelligence, Giving and Receiving Feedback and Partnering for Performance.
