I moved out of my ‘couch of complacency’ into sometimes a bit of an uncomfortable zone where I stretched myself and surprised myself. The whole time here has been transformational. I’m finding my voice and growing into the kind of leader I want to be, based on the lessons I’ve learned and the experiences I’ve had here. For anyone who is in a point of transition, not sure what kind of impact you could have and the kind of legacy you want to leave, this is a very good pause-and-reflect opportunity.” CAMILLE GOODEN Public Policy and Government Relations Consultant, Canada [Open-Enrollment Programs for Individuals]() Wharton Executive Education programs enhance leadership skills and advance business acumen. - [Comprehensive Executive Programs]() - [Leadership and Management]() - [Finance and Wealth Management]() - [Marketing]() - [Strategy and Innovation]() - [All Programs]() [Download Calendar]() [Download Program Calendar]() Find the program that meets your needs.
