I felt like that the course material for Level 3 was well rounded enough to provide something for everyone in attendance. Several of the courses were very beneficial to my personal career development while there were others that covered areas of taxation that do not apply to my work. However, even for the topics that were not applicable to me, I felt like the exposure to the course content was very well done.

It was a great experience traveling for CPE and getting the opportunity to network with individuals that we would have never met before on all levels of their public tax professional journey.

I enjoyed connecting with folks from other firms. I enjoyed talking to some of the instructors post class and getting their opinions on their subject expertise.

The LEA Emerging Leaders Program was unlike any other leadership development program in which I have participated. The focus on self-growth and the underlying science and psychology behind the program was incredibly refreshing and inspired me to become the best possible leader I can be! After each session, I couldn't wait to get back to the office and begin implementing new ways of leading my team. Truly a transformational experience!

We enter this profession with an accounting degree and we're taught to audit or complete tax forms. As we grow in our career, we're given a taste of the human aspect, but once you make manager - practically everything that you have been taught and have worked on is out the window. Suddenly success is measured based on how you're getting the most out of your people, how you're handling the tougher conversations, how you're planning your next steps in your career - where was the training for that? It's here in the Emerging Leaders Program, and I wish that I had gone through something like this ages ago. This program points out your reactive tendencies and pushes you to transform those into creative attributes. I loved this and learned a lot about myself.

Was amazed at how much growth everyone had in a year. If you're willing to be vulnerable and open-minded, this program is a change agent! The magic is in the peer relationships of professionals with shared experiences but not direct colleagues. Center for Character-Based Leadership provided oustanding coaches!

The Emerging Leaders Program was a transformational experience that helped me grow both professionally and personally. The mix of in-person sessions and ongoing engagement created a strong sense of community and accountability. With expert guidance from our instructor, I walked away with sharper leadership skills, greater self-awareness, and practical tools I use daily in my role. I would highly recommend this program to any rising leader ready to take the next step in their development.
