The 2024 Workforce Development Programs have wrapped up, marking a significant milestone for the 140 talented professionals who successfully completed the Executive Leadership and Energy Sustainability Reporting tracks. These intensive, year-long programs were designed to educate, empower, and elevate both individuals and Member Companies, fostering growth in critical areas of leadership.
Through a blend of seminars, assessments, best practice sharing sessions, and executive coaching, participants committed to enhancing their skills and driving innovation in the sector. Their dedication has not only enriched their own development but also contributed to the collective success of their organizations.
Congratulations to the graduates, mentors, and Member Companies who played pivotal roles in making these programs a success. Participants have shared their insights, lessons learned, and the value these programs have brought to their professional journeys:
“My greatest takeaway was that leadership is a lifelong journey and leaders at all levels are facing new challenges. Delegation is often difficult for some leaders and doesn’t always get easier as you move up in an organization.”
-Executive Leadership Program Participant
“What stood out the most to me was to stop trying to throw out your experience all the time in front of the client. I also like the idea of sending the meeting agenda before the client meeting.”
-Executive Leadership Program Participant
“My key takeaway was that everyone has a leadership shadow from the start of your career until the finish.”
-Executive Leadership Program Participant
“I understood more about the ESG frameworks and how these apply to sustainability reporting. Also learned more about regulatory compliance, the importance of stakeholder engagement in communicating and getting traction in sustainability efforts.”
