Key Learning Benefits and Curriculum Topic Areas
The curriculum of the Inclusive Leaders Academy (ILA) is comprised of carefully curated content that cultivates Social Intelligence, Self-Awareness, and Courage. These skill sets have been proven to assist in better decision making, as well as enhancing team and organizational climate.
