Two distinct pathways for developing your leadership — whether you're building your foundation or expanding your impact.
Overview
GLLA’s cohort programs are designed as immersive, multi-month experiences that support deep leadership growth through reflection, connection, and real-world application.
Each program builds on a shared leadership model while offering a distinct focus and experience.
Two Pathways
Emerging Leaders Program (ELP)
Lead from who you are
A retreat-style experience focused on self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and building strong, trust-based relationships.
Best for individuals looking to pause, reflect, and strengthen their foundation as a leader.
Leadership Advancement Program (LAP)
Courageous leadership for the common good
An advanced, applied experience focused on systems thinking, navigating complexity, and leading across difference to create meaningful change.
Best for experienced leaders ready to expand their impact beyond their immediate role or organization.
How They Connect
Our programs are grounded in a shared leadership framework:
Self → understanding who you are and how you lead
Relationships → building trust and working across difference
Systems → leading change in complex environments
ELP emphasizes self and relationships;
LAP deepens relationships and systems.
