About
It’s not about climbing the ladder.
It’s about serving your team, your organization, and yourself.
It’s about being a CPA who can lead well.
What happens at a Leadership Academy?
In the fast-approaching future, successful CPAs must be leaders. Leadership Academy is the starting point for unlocking the full potential in the profession’s best and brightest young CPAs. This three-day event is cited by past participants as an invaluable boost to their careers.
INSTRUCTION
New learning, new ideas,
new perspectives
INTEGRATION
Combining new learning with what
you already know to develop insights
in your current context
ACTION
Development of personal
action plans
Participants will be actively engaged in dialog throughout the workshop and will be making presentations of their insights and action plans throughout the three days. Consistent with BLI’s approach to learning we will support the learning with active dialog and graphic facilitation techniques. Each young leader will leave with a set of tangible tools that they can use in their own organizations and as future volunteer leaders.
