Leadership development isn’t one-size-fits-all. Vanderbilt Executive Education brings together expert faculty, practical research, and a personalized approach to help individuals and organizations grow.
We're thrilled to welcome bestselling author Dr. Arthur Brooks to Vanderbilt Business. This fall, he's launching Leadership and Happiness, a new Executive Education course grounded in his research on what makes leaders thrive. This eight-session virtual course runs September 28 through November 30, with an optional in-person retreat in West Palm Beach, Florida, from December 7 to 9.
Hone the skills that move your career forward. Whether you want to fill a specific knowledge gap or strengthen your overall leadership, strategy, or management capabilities, our open enrollment programs and certificates give you access to Vanderbilt's faculty and research without the commitment of a degree. We offer a schedule of programs throughout the year for individuals or groups.
Every organization's challenges are different. We work directly with your team to design a program around your specific goals. From a single-day workshop to an ongoing development series, we deliver programming on-site, online, or in a hybrid format, at a location of your choosing. Whatever suits the needs of your unique situation, we aim to deliver.
Build what’s next in your career with Executive Education designed for impact. Our certificates offer focused, flexible ways to expand your expertise through the online Business Management Certificate or the in-person Certificate of Leadership Excellence.
