Leadership Development, Made Personal.

Your Leadership Journey

No two leaders bring the same strengths, experiences or ambitions to the table. The ISTAT Executive Leadership Program recognizes that development is most meaningful when it is both personal and practical.

Throughout the program, participants move from greater understanding of themselves as leaders to strengthening how they lead others and, ultimately, expanding their impact across their organizations.

 

Leading Self

Know how you lead.

Build self-awareness, explore your leadership identity and strengthen your authentic presence.

Leading Others

Turn insight into impact.

Strengthen communication, influence and feedback skills while considering your impact on teams and those around you.

Leading Organizations

Expand your influence.

Broaden your perspective, strengthen strategic leadership capabilities and consider how you can create sustained organizational impact.

How You'll Develop

Individualized + Group Coaching

Development Built Around You Begin with assessment insights that help identify your strengths, motivations and opportunities for growth. Through individualized executive coaching and peer-based group coaching, you'll establish development priorities, explore leadership challenges and learn with — and from — fellow cohort members.

Cohort Seminars

Bring Leadership Development Into the Room Come together in person for immersive seminars that combine leadership content, practical application, industry perspective and informal connection. Each seminar builds upon the last, moving participants through the journey from Leading Self to Leading Others to Leading Organizations.

Mentorship, Engagement & Connection

Learn From Those Who've Led Before You Build a dedicated mentoring relationship with an established aviation leader while strengthening your ability to develop meaningful relationships across the industry. Gain experience from lived leadership experience, explore career and leadership questions and expand your connection to the broader ISTAT community.

Self-Guided Learning + Capstone Project

Put Learning Into Practice Leadership development continues beyond formal sessions. Curated learning resources encourage ongoing growth and reflection, while the capstone experience brings together your insights and skills to address a real-world challenge and translate learning into practical application.
