Lead 4 Success®

$1,995

with Clemson Turregano

Calendar May 12, 2025 at 8:30 am

Powered by CCL

Equip people at all levels of the organization to master the fundamentals of leadership.

Lead 4 Success® moves leaders from average to high-performing by developing the 4 fundamental leadership skills — self-awareness, learning agility, influence, and communication — that leaders at any level need to master for success.

The importance of developing fundamental leadership skills cannot be understated. No matter their intelligence, experience, or drive, leaders at every level need the same 4 core skills to be effective and grow within an organization. 

  • Self-awareness: Understand your behavior’s impact on organizational outcomes
  • Communication: Effectively communicate goals and inspire trust
  • Influence: Be comfortable persuading, promoting, and delegating
  • Learning agility: Know when to change course, and help others to do so

The Fundamental 4 have endured the test of time, and are the basis for our Lead 4 Success® program, where participants immerse themselves in development, adapt these skills to their own leadership contexts, participate with peers in learning, and share ideas to apply to their leadership lessons to their real world. 

Payment plan available: $495 deposit plus 12 payments of $115.38, paid weekly. Final payment of $115.44.

Data Analytics for Institutional Research Professionals

$995

with Scott Moore and Dave Eubanks

Calendar Jun 2, 2025 at 3 pm

This certificate program unlocks the power of automation by showing how to convert work done in spreadsheets to using scripts that can be easily read, executed, and shared. This change unlocks a “do it once” workflow that frees analysts to focus on improvements, automation, and more in-depth analysis instead of rote tasks. The written instructions of the script are created in an intuitive language to precisely describe operations like selecting, filtering, renaming, grouping, and summarizing rows and columns of data—all using free statistical software.

We will be using the R software package because, compared to using Excel, you will be more efficient, you will be better equipped to work with large data sets, you will be able to create better & more complete reports, your graphics will be more explanatory, and your reports will be better structured, more repeatable, and more informative.

This course is the beginning of your path to get from spreadsheets to scripting—we will use the language of spreadsheets (rows, columns, filtering, data lookup, etc.) to introduce and explain. The workshop is interactive and applied, focusing on IR problems common to universities, such as admissions, retention, learning effectiveness, and diversity. Each week unlocks new abilities and ideas you can use right away. 

Live sessions will be held every week.

Payment plan available: $225 deposit plus 8 payments of $96.25, paid every two weeks.
