There is an emerging consensus around the world that fresh leadership approaches are needed across business, public, and social sectors to meaningfully address humanity’s pressing challenges and crises. 

A recent global survey of around 30,000 respondents titled The Listening Project noted that there is a leadership crisis around the world.  Vast majority of the global respondents asserted that, ‘In order to effectively address this problem, we need leaders with empathy and compassion.’  The respondents also observed, ‘I don’t feel like my voice, and that of my community, is being heard in leadership decisions.’   

The Advancing Conscious Leadership certificate program invites professionals, citizens, and change makers to build their leadership acumen to meet the 21st century leadership challenges.  Drawing on evidence-based knowledge, the certificate learning is grounded in a tri-lens framework that focuses on building authentic aptitude, relational competence, and adaptive capability. The framework encourages leadership practice that is bold, creative, and responsible. In addition, the certificate learning is informed by advances in neuroscience and how they impact conscious leadership development and practice. Finally, the coursework looks at how leadership may create trustful environments that encourage creativity and innovation. 

This certificate program is offered by Antioch University’s Graduate School of Leadership & Change.

Now that the 2020-21 pandemic is easing, organizational leaders worldwide face the challenges of “coming back to work.” These past months have tested organizational resilience unlike anything in the past several decades, leaving many leaders exhausted and their workforce stressed. And new challenges await – effects of climate change, technology, economic instability, and continuing social unrest. Today’s challenge is not simply to bring the company “back.” The most successful organizations will be those that have learned resilience: the ability to anticipate, adapt, and learn from disruption. 

This professional certificate offers an approach to organizational resilience based upon the principles of “deep learning,” a mindset that embraces challenges to existing worldviews. A deep learning mindset sees environmental turbulence and the disorientation it creates, not as a distraction, but as a creative force for constructive change. The certificate will examine how to develop a deep learning mindset, at three levels: individual, team, and the entire organization.

This certificate program is offered by Antioch University’s Graduate School of Leadership & Change.

Who will Benefit

This certificate is designed for leaders who want to help make their organizations more resilient through the adoption of deep learning principles. The certificate is based on the belief that leaders throughout an organization, whether they have positional authority or not, can begin to change a culture from one that depends on predictability and control to one that understands the need to use the disorientation created by constant turbulence as a path toward innovation and organizational flourishing.

Leadership Resilience through Deep Learning

Discuss how to apply deep learning to build resilience both for oneself as a leader and as a facilitator of deep learning in others. Learning will be facilitated through.

Course Description

Today’s leaders find themselves in a turbulent environment where unpredictable change is the norm. Critical to success in this new era requires developing a “deep learning mindset,” a deliberate effort to self-disrupt, repeatedly breaking from one’s comfortable assumptions and habits to address new challenges and engage with a growing and diverse set of stakeholder groups. A deep learning mindset creates the level of disorientation needed to generate new levels of insight, critical for the growth of a leader’s capacity to lead.

In this course we discuss how to apply deep learning to build resilience both for oneself as a leader and as a facilitator of deep learning in others. Learning will be facilitated through:

  1. Using powerful questions to initiate self-discovery and mindful learning
  2. Leveraging disorienting dilemmas for the purpose of building leader capacity
  3. Using the arts to deepen connection to others

The learning experience incorporates cultural diversity and social responsibility, giving Antioch a unique edge over other graduate schools in psychology.

Antioch University has held accreditation continuously since 1927.

The program is devoted to training students from diverse backgrounds, endorsing the principles of social justice by confronting oppression and injustice, and working with underserved populations. Students are prepared, as art therapists and professional counselors, to work with individuals, groups, and social systems within a multicultural global community to promote mental health and well-being for all.

Students are required to acquire a total of 700 internship hours. State requirements for pre-degree internship hours vary. Review your state requirements for more information.

Students complete their learning in a diverse variety of clinical settings. There are many internship possibilities at community agencies, residential facilities, shelters, in-patient psychiatric hospitals, college counseling centers, city/state social service agencies, and more.

Licensure

Graduates of the CMHC Program may apply for professional credentials recognizing their level of training and experience. Credentials may be granted by national professional boards/organizations or by state regulatory boards.

The CMHC Program recognizes the importance of licensure and certification for professional practice. The legislature in each state establishes the criteria for licensure and an appointed board determines if an individual’s education and experience meet their standards. The Clinical Mental Health Counseling Department has designed its programs to be consistent with the standards of the representative professional organizations. Individual states, many of which base their legislation on professional organization’s standards, vary as to specific coursework, number of hours of supervised practice, supervisor qualification, and other required criteria. While the department offers coursework and internships that allow students to put together a licensable portfolio, it cannot guarantee licensure. Students with any negative results on a criminal background check should inquire with the state board in advance to determine if the results of their background will hinder their ability to become licensed in their state.

As graduates of a CACREP accredited program, students are eligible to obtain full certification as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) upon graduation after passing the National Counselor Exam offered in April of their final year and completing the required applications. See the NBCC website for information on this process. Graduates self-reported pass rate on the NBCC exam is 80%.

Students will learn about the steps to licensure for the state in which they plan to pursue licensure in the Professional Orientation and Ethics course, however, students are responsible for knowing the expectations of the state in which they plan to apply. Students should actively consult their state’s counseling board for the most recent information about professional licensure. Faculty are available to consult with students and the following websites are helpful when navigating the licensure process:

National Board of Certified Counselors

American Counseling Association

American Mental Health Counseling Association

American Association of State Counseling Boards
