CCCAOE Leadership Academy 2023
Informational Flyer coming soon
Are you a New Dean, Program Manager or Faculty? Are you responsible for coordinating, managing or being part of an effective team in the community college setting? Are you an Administrative Assistant who is ready to be a leader?
Our leadership academy is a certificate program for CTE/EWD Professionals divided into 2 levels. Attendees learn new leadership skills and improve on those they already use within the community college setting.
The research is clear. Leadership is not about personality; it’s about behavior. What are those behaviors, and how does one learn to embody them? The experiential focus of this academy will give you practical and personal knowledge of leadership soft skills.
Level 1.0 – Leadership Academy: Mike Walsh
The Leadership Challenge
Level 2.0 – Leadership Academy: Mickey Porter
“You did it! An engaging virtual Leadership Academy!”
“Leaders come from all walks of life and perspectives and our ideas for change may vary but the “why” was united in our group. I gained an insight into the methodology of leading and understanding the technical and behavioral components have to align in order to have a good balance in our organization of being smart and healthy.”
“I am inspired to lead in new ways and also model this so change can come to my work environment.”
“Love the small group breakout sessions and time to discuss and hear the main general session’s feedback and responses. Good variety of activities to keep us engaged. Met some good people at other colleges who are developing their leadership skills also.”
“Mickey was relatable by giving real examples. She was an example of vulnerability and shared how she has grown. I think this helps others to be open with the leader/facilitator knows they don’t have it all figured out. She popped into break-out sessions and asked for feedback.”
“What went well for me was having interaction throughout the training and not just watching video after video and/or listening to someone present off PowerPoint slide the entire time.”

About The Dare To Lead Program
Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program designed to be facilitated by organizational development professionals.
Brené is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Foundation – Brené Brown Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work. Brené is also a visiting professor in management at The University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business. She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy and is the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers: The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness, and her latest book, Dare to Lead, which is the culmination of a seven-year study on courage and leadership.
The most significant finding from Brené’s latest research is that courage is a collection of four skill sets that are teachable, measurable, and observable. The Dare to Lead™ program focuses on developing these courage-building skills through workshops, trainings, and coaching to help individuals, teams, and organizations move from armored leadership to daring leadership.
