“The best leaders turned out to be the best learners…Learning is the master skill. When you fully engage in learning – when you throw yourself whole-heartedly into experimenting, reflecting, reading, or being coached – you will experience the thrill of improvement and the taste of success.” J. Kouzes and B. Posner

Upon graduation from Leadership Montana, alumni are invited to continue their leadership journey through the Masters Class. Established in 2018, the Masters Class is a shorter and smaller class experience allowing participants to dive deeper into their own leadership journey. The Masters Class was born out of requests from Alumni for an additional in-depth experience to continue their leadership journey.

The Masters Class experience will build on the Leadership Montana experience by digging deeper into leadership development, Gracious Space and community issues.

Is the Masters Class right for you? Do you need to:

- Build collaboration, teamwork and trust?
- Strengthen the ability of others to excel?
- Experiment with innovative ideas and learn from accompanying mistakes?
- Inspire others to share a common vision?
- Clarify and communicate your fundamental values and beliefs?
- Increase your personal capacity for courageous collaboration?
- Learn an approach for embracing vulnerability and reality?

The Masters Class is a 4 session experience.
The class is limited to 24 participants.
This application due by April 30, 2025.
Tuition is $3,500, limited scholarships are available.
Upon acceptance, a $500 deposit will be due May 30 and the $3,000 balance will be due June 30.
