WCEDA and its partner, Elizabeth Oplatka of Gateway Technical College’s Business and Workforce Solutions, are bringing together senior and executive-level managers, and those just realizing their potential, who are dedicated to creating not only the most technically proficient organizations but the healthiest, most nimble teams and dynamic organizational cultures.

This advanced leadership series isn’t a one-off course. We’re presenting an opportunity to join others and work with an expert in organizational psychology, organizational development and change leadership on building the human side of your business. We know that our local business community is the most technically capable out there. We also know that what prevents us from realizing our greatness has a human face.
