"Ednium has allowed me to discover my leadership style and what kind of leader I want to be. Ultimately, it is my goal to apply these skills in my future professional career as a physician-scientist. "

- Odalis Castro, Biomedical Engineering
Traditional leadership programs center the individual as the decision maker and power holder. For Ednium, community is the core value that we view all of our work, and how we as leaders can inspire and empower others to create change.

Through six sessions you will interrogate leadership through a theoretical and practical lens. You will hear from leaders that grew up in the same neighborhoods as you, while also engaging in activities that will challenge you to define and refine your concepts of leadership. You'll leave the program not only with a better self awareness of your own leadership style, but with a plan on how you will continue your leadership journey with Ednium and beyond.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Centered around storytelling, participants will:

  • leave with a clear definition of leadership
  • gain tools that they can employ while leading others
  • build an action plan for self development
  • connect with leaders across the Denver metro from a variety of industries, paths and leadership styles
  • have a better understanding of who they are in relation to the systems that they live in

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Launchpad participants should meet the following qualifications:

  • Have attended a Denver metro high school between 2008-2024

  • Interest and willingness to expand your leadership skills

  • Willingness to collaborate with others

You are a great fit for this program if you are asking yourself the following questions:
  • What type of leader do I want to be?
  • What skills, resources, and connections do I need to become a leader?
  • Am I on the right career path? Have I explored my different passions and interests?
  • Do I clearly understand who I want to be and what I want to achieve in the next 5, 10, 15 years?
  • What can I learn from leaders that look like and have similar experiences as me?
