LLEAD operates on a cost-recovery model and is responsible for facilities booked 12 months in advance.

*Fees do not cover transportation or some texts or diagnostic tools.

 

You are required to bring the results of a preferences/perceptions diagnostic completed during the previous 36 months. This can be either Myers-Briggs or DISC. If you have not completed one of these tools some costs may be involved, which we do our best to keep under $300.

Looking for Options?

We often get the question, "what if my organization doesn't support me to attend LLEAD?"  Many of us pursued degrees and professional development without employer support. We understand your uneasiness. You may need to fund yourself and use holidays to attend sessions.  If you are concerned about having the support of a sector leader, engaging in an organization-wide project, or having a courageous conversation with your manager - talk with us.  Ultimately your career is your responsibility. It's a big decision, and we'll provide information for you to make the best decision for you - at this point in your career.

Testimonials

"I’ve found this program to be some of the most valuable professional development I’ve experienced in my career and very applicable to my job which is in the information sector and not in a library. The curriculum is clearly so thoughtfully developed and I really appreciate the sharing of experiences from both the intensive and virtual meetings. The content is on management and leadership and it is a really supportive atmosphere. The diverse range of individuals participating makes it a more rounded program. Different backgrounds and provinces make for interesting conversations and perspectives. The “Wise Counsel” technique is an indispensable tool - I led a “Wise Counsel” with my staff team a few weeks ago with really great results."
