Unlock Joyous and Effective Leadership, at Your Own pace
For 20 years, Rockwood has provided transformative leadership development training to over 7,000 social change leaders and activists all over the world. Now, we’ve adapted and updated that curriculum to allow you to experience “Rockwood magic” online.

Training Details
To foster deep learning within an online setting, the Art of Leadership Online blends various modalities to allow you to engage with your own inner wisdom, the material, and with other leaders. This training includes live facilitation via Zoom, self-paced work like personal journaling/reflection and solo reading, discussion forum participation, and pair/small group work to connect and build community with those in your cohort.
The 5-day Art of Leadership Online takes place over the course of a single week. Each day includes a 2-hour live Zoom session, a 1-hour break, and a 2.5-hour live Zoom session.
Currently, we have the Art of Leadership Online on Eastern Standard Time, Central Time, Mountain Time, and Pacific Standard Time.
