Every organization needs great leaders to be successful – leaders who can inspire teams to succeed and reach goals, effectively communicate, and strategically solve problems. Leadership Advance gives talented professionals the training necessary to be effective leaders and managers. The program is tailored specifically to professionals wanting to enhance their leadership skills so they can transform themselves into more effective managers and leaders. 

“Joining Leadership Advance has been one of the best experiences of my career. I highly recommend this program whether you are new to leadership or have been in a leadership role for some time. The past 5 months have seemed to fly by, but in this short amount of time I’ve seen great changes within myself not only professionally, but personally, too. It’s been great to network and build relationships with other professionals that I hope continue beyond the program.” 

— Nicole Shelton, Nevada State Bank

“I have attended many leadership classes over the years; this was, by far, the best I have ever attended. Most leadership classes I have taken are more geared toward leadership theory, but the Leadership Advance class is the nuts and bolts of being the best leader. It’s the how-to for excelling at leadership at any level.”

— Connie Johnson, Las Vegas Valley Water District

The leadership training is facilitated by Tim Schneider of Aegis Learning, a Las Vegas-based company with more than 25 years of experience in creating and delivering learning solutions and leadership training for organizations of all sizes, including Fortune 500 companies.
