Why Choose a Leadership EMBA: Confidence, Introspection, and Commitment

Danielle highly recommends a Leadership EMBA for leaders who are looking to develop their leadership skills and find their voice. She credits her time at Albers with providing her with the knowledge and experience necessary to boost her confidence and amplify her career trajectory. “When you spend 22 months in a room full of people who are senior managers and take in the leadership principles from the program, you’re forced to grow,” she says. “Then, when I went outside of IT into business, my exposure to executive leadership grew exponentially. I learned from both my experience in the industry and my experience at Albers.”

For Danielle, confidence came from the knowledge and experience she received in the LEMBA program. Regardless of your reasons for pursuing an EMBA, the program at Albers will challenge you to be introspective and vulnerable as you learn more about your leadership identity. “You will need to do the inner work in order to succeed,” she says. “It’s about the entire experience, not just the academic portion of it. You can get the MBA initials anywhere, but you come to Albers to develop as a leader and strengthen your business acumen.”

To incoming Leadership EMBA students, Danielle emphasizes the commitment necessary to making the most out of the experience. “Make the time to do the work,” she insists. “It’s not just about the assignments; you need space to set aside for the development. Take time to practice, reflect, practice, reflect—it’s a cycle you need to go through in order to transform.”
