Future Leaders Institute

Individuals must apply to attend and, if selected, will actively participate in workshops to develop an understanding of and leverage their strengths, interact with different personalities and work styles, and understand best practices for effective managers and leaders. FLI students also receive training in strategic decision making, integration of EHS and IH into key business priorities, and increasing their scope of influence and contributions as OEHS professionals.

With respect to collaboration and teamwork, participants will learn how to successfully join efforts with other leaders and effectively manage conflict. Finally, individuals will learn skills for networking and exploring their personal and professional aspirations to align with career trajectories that support their goals and advance them in their organization and profession.
