Most organizations identify leadership as their most critical function, yet many professionals struggle to transition from managing tasks to influencing and developing people. The gap between knowing you should lead and actually doing it effectively can derail careers and team performance.
This course gives you the practical competencies needed to lead successfully today and into the future. Dr. Shirley Davis, a global workforce expert and leadership consultant, breaks down what effective leadership actually looks like across four core areas: foundational principles, essential competencies, navigating complexity, and real-world application.
You’ll explore emotional intelligence, learn to build and maximize diverse team performance, and develop critical skills like strategic thinking, establishing trust, and communicating with impact. The course goes beyond theory with AI-powered role play simulations that let you practice difficult conversations, demonstrate empathy, and navigate peer misalignments in realistic scenarios.
What sets this training apart is its focus on modern leadership challenges. Davis teaches you to lead change through agility and resilience, manage conflict constructively, and cultivate inclusion, equity, and belonging in your workplace. You’ll also gain from extended conversations with Richard Davis and Steve Miranda, who share decades of leadership experience from the field.
Whether you’re stepping into your first leadership role or refining your approach, this course provides the frameworks and practice opportunities to build genuine influence across your organization.
