Leadership Discovery, a leadership development program by the Charleston Metro Chamber, is excited to welcome the Spring 2022 class. 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 built valuable community connections and gained skills that will directly impact their current work. In addition to mentor sessions, they received a personalized DiSC Leadership Profile Assessment from Jean Meeks-Koch, Ph.D., CEO and Founder of Positively People, LLC, and attended a three-course business etiquette dinner led by Cynthia Grosso of Charleston School of Protocol. 

This year’s class began on February 15 with a socially distanced orientation at the Chamber’s headquarters in Park Circle and will conclude in May at Halls Signature Events at 5 Faber.

“Leadership Discovery is an incredible experience and the perfect program for those looking to jumpstart their leadership journey,” said Jaimee Salone, Leadership Discovery participant. “In a short time, our class gained valuable insight from our region’s top community leaders on how to be an effective, impactful and humble servant leader.”
