Canadian Credible Leadership Cohort

The Canadian Credible Leadership (CCL) Cohort is a virtual program that pairs CPKN’s field-tested online course with facilitated workshops to provide a unique learning experience.

The CCL Cohort is comprised of nine workshops scheduled weekly. Each two-hour workshop is facilitated by a subject matter expert and provides opportunities to review material from the online course and network with national participants from various ranks and roles.

Self-Awareness
Self-Management
Social Awareness
Empowering Others Through Problem Solving
Maintaining Momentum
Driving Organizational Change
Role-shifting, Development & Coaching

The upcoming cohort is being held specifically for gender and racial minority individuals who are underrepresented in leadership positions in policing in Canada.

Time Commitment

To get the most from this program, participants should allocate ample time to completing coursework, such as readings, online lessons, and workshops. Tips for balancing coursework:

Complete readings as early as possible, such as prior to the first workshop.

Schedule time to complete online lessons to avoid rushing through the material.

Enlist a colleague or participant to share your leadership goal and hold you accountable.

If pressed for time, focus on the online lessons and workshops rather than the readings. The readings are often revisited in the workshops.

Seek permission from a supervisor to block off time for workshops and coursework.

Invite a supervisor to attend the orientation session to ensure they understand the time commitment and support your commitment to the program.
