Leadership Discovery, a leadership development program by the Charleston Metro Chamber, is excited to welcome the fall class of 2020. Leadership Discovery is an innovative program that allows participants the opportunity to learn from experienced business leaders in the Charleston region.
Participants in this program gain skills that will directly impact their current work and build valuable community connections. In addition to six mentor sessions, they receive a personalized DiSC Leadership Profile Assessment from Jean Meeks-Koch, Ph.D., CEO and Founder of Positively People, and attend a three-course business etiquette dinner led by Cynthia Grosso of Charleston School of Protocol.
This year’s class will begin on September 30 with a socially distanced orientation in the new Chamber Boardroom and will conclude in December. In order to adapt to the current environment while still providing the highest quality program experience, the Chamber will deliver sessions virtually as necessary.
