Professional Development Workshops Overview
Today's workplace demands multi-faceted leaders who are not only high-performers and skilled in their technical areas but have also mastered soft-skills such as communication, the ability to lead others, and the emotional intelligence required to work with colleagues instead of against them.
The Center for Excellence in Public Leadership offers executive development courses designed to meet your professional goals. Courses are taught by faculty who have experience within the field and can offer the latest insight on trends. Courses are also small to allow for an optimal learning environment.

All classroom-based courses will take place on one of GWU's metro accessible campuses. Residential programs will take place at a local executive conference center. To register, please return a completed registration form by fax to 202-994-5389 or email.
