Leadership Skills Training

Leadership Skills Training: Social and Emotional Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence & Dignity at Work This course teaches four human capacities that decades of research—and Dr. Robyn Short's own—identify as the foundation of leading well: emotional intelligence, social intelligence, cultural intelligence, and dignity intelligence. Each of these leadership intelligences is a learnable capacity — the integration of experience, knowledge, and integrity in the context of collaboration — developed through practice, deepened through reflection, and visible only in relationship. If you have ever been told you are "good with people" without knowing what you were doing, or told you needed to work on your "soft skills" without being told how, this course is the missing specificity. You'll learn to notice your own emotional state before it shapes a decision; to understand people well enough that they experience being known in your presence; to recognize what you have been assuming is normal when it is only normal to you; and to honor the inherent worth of the people you work with in the ordinary moments where it is usually lost. You'll begin with a scored self-assessment across 19 competencies, and you'll leave with a 90-day development plan built from it. Each of the seven modules includes a video with Dr. Short, a written lesson, a five-question quiz, a worksheet, and two written reflections for your engagement manager to read and respond to. This course is for anyone whose work depends on other people — managers, individual contributors, project leads, HR and people teams, founders, and anyone stepping into leadership for the first time. Certificate criteria: Pass all seven quizzes at 80% or higher and submit all fourteen reflections — including the Module 1 inventory and the Module 7 plan. Submission unlocks the next module immediately; your engagement manager's response arrives.
