WHAT THIS EVENT IS ALL ABOUT
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

Level 2.0 – Leadership Academy: Mickey Porter
TESTIMONIALS FROM 2020 LEVEL 1.0 and 2.0
“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.”

Dates To Be Determinded
“I define a leader as anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop
that potential.” – Brené Brown, Dare to Lead
What are the skills and mindsets you need to master in order to lead in a post-Covid world? Whether you’re a current or future leader, Leadership Level 2.0 is one that you should attend. The community college system is becoming increasingly connected, which means every campus has the potential for expanded reach. Leaders need to understand and appreciate new cultures, actively seek out diverse teams, lead teams with different backgrounds, and know-how to enter and succeed in collaborative endeavors. Community college leaders also need to know how to navigate and successfully lead work within a shared governance environment. Administrators need skills to build relationships with faculty leaders to build support and momentum around new ideas and navigate the politics on campus. Key components you will learn: Active Listening, Collaboration, Propelling your team, Forward-thinking, Master Communicator, Building Connections, Being Vulnerable, Empathy, and more.
Leadership Level 2.0 will focus on the mindset and skills of leading from Mickey Porter facilitating Dare to Lead – training developed by Brené Brown, mentoring from Community College Leaders, as well as, 4 Community of Practice modules.
- Module 1 – Participatory governance
- Module 2 – Campus Politics
- Module 3 – Facilitating Innovation
- Module 4 – Advocacy
Date and Location to be determined. Check back soon.

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.

“As always, the networking opportunities to connect with folks in my area at different campuses is the best thing about this conference.” – 2019 Academy Attendee
“My favorite part of the CCCAOE Conference is the knowledgeable and dedicated presenters that took time to collaborate and connect colleagues from various colleges!” – 2019 Academy Attendee
Learning about what other colleges are doing across the state, the best practices, and insight to overcome issues… these are the reasons I attend.” – 2019 Academy Attendee
“I really appreciated the information and hands-on activities. Very relevant and made me think how to improve my instruction and recognizing my personality matrix, especially identifying my warning signs that can create inefficiency and/or roadblocks.” – 2022 Academy Attendee
“As a new dean with zero experience in CTE, I found these modules much more
valuable to my work. I would recommend holding the training in December, perhaps the second or third week. This way new deans hired over the summer and fall can participate in this opportunity sooner rather than waiting for the summer.”, “Mike Walsh was amazing, I am so thankful for his part in the Leadership 1.0 it created a nice balance, especially for someone new to the college system who loves human interactions. Win-win!”, Gained so much information, resources, and understanding. Excited and looking forward to learning more tomorrow.”, “As an incoming department chair hoping to inspire faculty to re-ignite passion into teaching so student engagement and equity are front and center, this has been a critical step in recovering from the stress of the disconnect of the pandemic and a way forward to bring other faculty on the journey forward. We can do it – together.”
– 2022 Academy Attendee
“Mike is an excellent facilitator. As an incoming Department Chair (and outgoing curriculum chair) the insight into processes and personalities resonated and helped with first steps and setting the tone.” – 2022 Academy Attendee
