Executive Development

For more than 25 years, our programs have developed leaders who make a difference in both their agencies and in the public policy arena. We deliver a wide range of nationally-recognized, interdisciplinary leadership development and public policy analysis programs throughout the U.S. and abroad.

We support federal, state and local agencies seeking to update their workforces with 21st century understandings. Participants develop problem-solving skills for both the non-profit and for-profit spheres, where they strive to positively impact public interest. We educate officials of foreign governments to be effective and transparent in today's interconnected world.

Our courses are offered on campus, at partner sites across the country and around the world. We draw on the School’s talented faculty and the wealth of practitioners in Washington, DC and beyond to develop and design our programs. Through customizable options, thousands of executives have benefited from week-long seminars, workshops, individual or group coaching, facilitated retreats, certificates and graduate degrees.

To meet the evolving needs of today’s organizations, we offer customized options. You can tailor a program for your agency's needs, or select one of the following options:

• Executive coaching - an individualized and integrated experience focused on applying new thinking and skills through on-the-job coaching
• Group facilitation - strengthens team bonds and yields a collectively agreed-upon set of outcomes through a focus on visioning, and team and consensus building
• Program management services - effectively and seamlessly work with the staff and leadership of training academies to ensure a smooth program experience for participants
