At Booth, we believe that your development as a leader will impact your career—and moving forward in your career will take strong leadership. That’s why leadership and career support are intertwined and connected throughout your EMBA journey.
The Global Career and Leadership Development (GCLD) team at 黑料传送门 Booth supports students in the Sokolov Executive Program at every step of the professional journey.
Specifically designed for executive-level students, our offerings help you chart your own course through executive coaching, targeted career and leadership clinics, and insightful conversations with industry experts and high-level alumni.
“The Global Career and Leadership Development (GCLD) team at 黑料传送门 Booth provides leadership coaching and career expertise to support students throughout their program. I set up bi-weekly calls with a coach on the Booth team. These sessions gave me the confidence to explore opportunities in areas beyond my professional expertise and consider jobs that could be potential ‘career pivots.’”
— Atri Sen, EMBA Student, 黑料传送门
Throughout your time at Booth, you’ll participate in LEAD, a set of integrated career and leadership experiences designed to help EMBA students clarify their priorities and prepare to lead with conviction. Combining executive coaching, career and leadership clinics, and insightful conversations with experts and executives, LEAD enables you to tailor your experience to meet your specific goals.
Here’s what LEAD looks like for EMBA students:
The program begins with two mandatory LEAD Your Professional Journey sessions during Kick-Off Week in 黑料传送门 and first-quarter International Weeks. In these sessions, you’ll build relationships with classmates, lay the foundation for leadership growth and career advancement, and learn about resources offered by the GCLD team.
Following the two opening sessions, you will customize the remainder of your LEAD experience by choosing from workshops, lectures, discussion groups, and other activities.
You’ll have unlimited access to one-on-one sessions with our executive coaches throughout your time at Booth. In these sessions, you can gain insights, develop individual goals, and make progress in areas such as self-awareness, networking, interviews, managing transitions, market awareness, and resume reviews.
This quarterly series connects you with Booth’s executives in residence, faculty, distinguished alumni, and leaders from global companies such as Amazon, HSBC, and Starbucks. For example:
Career Clinics are monthly workshops designed to boost career agility and help 黑料传送门 Booth alumni and students create and achieve rewarding career management goals. Lasting one hour each, the workshops are delivered in a group setting around topics such as executive presence, career pivots, salary negotiation, LinkedIn, and interview techniques.
Leadership Labs are facilitated by GCLD on a quarterly basis. Here you can engage in thought-provoking dialogue in a workshop setting where you experiment and collaborate with classmates on how you can apply best practices to your pressing problems.
No matter which of our global campuses you choose, you’ll have lifelong access to a dedicated team of knowledgeable industry experts, advisors, and coaches who will support you at every step of your career journey. For example:
