Our Programs
TRANSFORMING LEADERS
Leadership Triangle’s Transforming Leaders Program is a masters level course in leadership development, delivered within a cohort-based model. The program is designed to meet participants in their own lived experience and help them co-create a leadership framework that works for them – based on power literacy, authenticity, personal values, and desired impact.
The Fall 2023 Transforming Leaders schedule is below. We will meet in person for some sessions, and for others, we will meet virtually. In-person class sessions are typically a full day, while virtual sessions will be half-days.

REGIONAL PROGRAM
The Triangle grows by 70+ people every single day. It’s ever-changing, and we need community leaders who understand the Regional context today and are committed to shaping an equitable future tomorrow. Leadership Triangle’s Regional Program is designed with this goal in mind. Over the course of 4 months, this program develops leadership skills while connecting participants to other key leaders and issues that face the Region as a whole.
As an example, in early 2023 participants met bi-weekly over three months in different locations in the Triangle. One class involved a deep dive into the social, economic and environmental trends for the region as a whole. We’ve experienced a full day onsite at Healing Transitions and an immersive tour of Extraordinary Ventures. In Research Triangle Park, the class met with community leaders working at the intersection of anti-racism and anti-poverty, and explored ways to create additional collaborative, multi-issue partnerships. The 2024 schedule is below.
