Leadership Tomorrow Elevate

Are you an early-career professional ready to lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose? LT Elevate is a dynamic six-month leadership experience designed for emerging leaders with 3–6 years of professional experience across the nonprofit, private, and public sectors.

Once a month, you’ll join a diverse cohort in downtown Seattle for interactive, half-day sessions that blend self-discovery, skills-building, and peer connection. From sharpening your communication to learning how to lead teams with confidence, LT Elevate helps you build the tools—and the mindset—you need to grow.

You’ll leave the program with a stronger sense of your leadership style, practical tools to navigate challenges and lead effectively, and a supportive network of peers across industries.

Whether you're managing your first team or preparing for what’s next, LT Elevate will help you rise—with integrity, impact, and intention.

How You’ll Grow:

  • Emotional Intelligence and Self-Awareness:  Clarify your unique leadership style and values. Develop greater self-awareness and emotional intelligence so you can lead with confidence and authenticity in any situation. 

  • Team and People Leadership:  Learn how to inspire and manage others. Gain practical strategies for coaching teammates, giving feedback, and navigating conflict so you can build healthy, effective teams and motivate people to do their best work. 

  • Communication for Impact:  Hone your ability to communicate clearly and persuasively. Practice speaking, listening, and feedback skills that help you influence, tell your story, and collaborate across sectors. 

  • Adaptive Leadership:  Embrace change and innovation. Explore adaptive leadership and systems thinking tools and connect your work to your organization’s mission, vision and values. 

 

  • LT Elevate runs from September 2025 through March 2026, with participants meeting once a month for a 4.5-hour session in downtown Seattle. The program kicks off with a  orientation in September and wraps up with a final reflection and celebration in March.
