Portfolio Leadership Academy
Leadership Academy is where learning meets leadership and business application. It’s where years of knowledge and experience are passed on to help others become their best self. It’s where we empower individuals to go beyond the ordinary and to achieve the extraordinary.
​
Leadership Academy is a key feature of our commitment to professional development for our portfolio companies. Our goal is to foster advanced personal and professional development, providing each participant with the skills to sustain and advance the growth of their business.
Through immersive, engaging and interactive content, this program delivers value at all levels of management. For early-stage leaders, the skillsets, tools and lessons learned are invaluable. More experienced leaders also appreciate the established curriculum and find themselves reframing and thinking differently about their own leadership approach.
"I have been fortunate enough to participate in many corporate training and development programs – both one on one and within groups. None that have been better than what we experienced with Shore."
JAYME CANNON, Senior Director, Hueman
