Description

  with  


NH Bankers Association with UNH Peter T. Paul College present an Intensive Program for Future Leaders in Banking.

Unlock your potential as a future Banking leader with our new Leadership Foundations Certificate. Designed to instruct foundational leadership skills and equip bankers to lead change, this program offers a comprehensive focus on how to think, act and communicate as a leader, along with key banking concepts put to the test through a bank simulation program. Join us as part of UNH Paul College’s executive education division and elevate your career to new heights.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:

Through a combination of readings, case studies, self-assessment, and experiential learning activities participants will:

  • Prepare for a management role or higher level management role 
  • Explore the distinction between leading and managing
  • Develop strategies for managing change with a variety of constituencies
  • Develop skills/experience in thinking strategically
  • Enhance their leadership communication skills and confidence in navigating difficult conversations
  • Understand the key drivers of team effectiveness

"Attending the Leadership Foundations Certificate Program was a game-changer for me. I not only developed essential leadership skills but also gained a deeper understanding of how banks operate at a strategic level. The sessions were engaging, clear, and approachable and even the more complex topics made sense thanks to the way they were taught. If you’re in a supervisory role or planning to move into one, take the plunge and enroll. This program truly sets you up for success."
