WHY YOU NEED THIS PROGRAM

Most leaders operate in silos.

It's easy to focus on what's right in front of you: your own performance, your team, or your organization's goals. What's harder to see is how they connect. IGNITE is a 12-module program, grounded in neuroscience, that builds a broader view of your leadership across three connected lenses:

Leading Self

Leadership begins with understanding yourself and leading with intention.

Leading Teams

How you show up shapes trust, accountability, and team performance.

Leading Organization

Lead with a broader view of people, priorities, and organizational impact.

One of four programs in the Certificate in Applied Leadership, a pathway to a designation jointly awarded with Royal Roads University.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

The changes that stay with you.

These are the changes IGNITE graduates notice in how they lead. By the end of the program, you'll be able to:
  • Understand your personal leadership: your style, values, and what shapes how you lead.
  • Grow how you lead others, through trust, coaching, and accountability.
  • Lead across the wider organization, from vision and innovation to change.
  • See leadership as a connected system (the 360° view), and how self, team, and organization shape one another.
APPLIED TO YOUR WORK
Every module includes a workplace activity, so you practice each new approach in your real role, not just learn it.
Reflection prompts reinforce every module, so the learning sticks.
MODULES

Three lenses. One clearer picture.

Each module combines video learning, reflection, a workplace application activity, and a quiz to reinforce what you've learned.

FOR TEAMS

Develop your leaders together.

Leadership development usually happens one leader at a time, which can leave a team pulling in different directions. IGNITE gives your whole team the same view of leadership to work from, so they grow as individuals and lead more in step. It's the first step in the Certificate in Applied Leadership, one pathway that works for a single leader or a whole team.

Shared language.

Your leaders work from the same 360° view, so coaching, feedback, and expectations line up across the team.

Credential pathway.

IGNITE is the first step in a certificate pathway, giving your team a clear roadmap and credentials that recognize their growth.

Consistent at scale.

A workplace activity in every module means leaders practice in their own role, so the learning is shared within the workplace.
Bringing IGNITE to your team? We'll help you plan group pricing, rollout, and pacing, including the option to roll the 12 modules out over 12 months.
