A transformative six-month journey designed
by SYPartners for high-potential leaders to
lead with inspiration, courage, and humanity.

Today’s leaders need the time and space to step out of the familiar, 
in order to draw from a deeper well of ideas and inspiration.”

The Emergent Leadership Program is tailored 
for rising leaders within a family business, cultural or governmental organization, or a corporation.

Participants come to the program with track records of accomplishment, and are on a path toward becoming senior leaders in business, government, and society.

Each cohort is curated so participants benefit 
from a diversity of experiences and perspectives.
