The Center for Executive Education Leadership (CEEL) District-Level Leaders: Silver Strand includes three workshops designed to support your professional and personal growth. Participants are required to register for the entire series. Individual course registration is not permitted.

Because the Work of Leaders' session includes an assessment, the deadline for registration is September 1, 2021.

Descriptions for each session are listed below:

The Work of Leaders—What Does the Research Say?

September 29, 2021

The work that leaders do—that really matters—can be boiled down to three areas: crafting a vision, building alignment, and championing execution. This session provides data compiled over 30 years of leadership research to provide knowledge on the specific, tangible behaviors and best practices needed to truly lead and effectively influence others to achieve big goals.

The Art of Influencing Others

November 11, 2021

Truly effective leadership requires having strong influencing skills.  Whether influencing without authority, influencing change, or influencing the agenda of senior leadership, the ability to influence is key for leader success.  This module helps leaders quickly grasp the fundamental principles of effective influence, build self-awareness, and become equipped with the tactics necessary. 

Preparing for the Role of the Superintendent

February 24, 2022

Part I of this session will address the cohort’s primary leadership challenges based on the Work of Leaders assessment.  Part II of the session will outline the critical skills and experiences expected by school boards and needed to compete effectively for the position of superintendent.
