Housed in the School of Leadership and Education Sciences at the University of San Diego, The CLA brings an innovative approach to leadership development and training. We know leadership is not just a position, leadership is a practice. At The CLA, we believe that leadership can be taught and that people learn best by doing. We help people become transformative and conscious leaders who lead by example and inspire others to do the same.
We have committed ourselves to creating programs that help people shift ways of being and doing in order to be more effective in their roles. Our goal in this work is to create spaces where everyone feels like they can show up as their true self, feel valued, and make an impact. We value and prioritize leading with equity and creating cultures of belonging. We want to build leaders who create positive disruptions in order to better their own lives and the organizations they work in.
