A training solution to build a high-performance culture at your credit union.
Build a leadership force for good.
For credit unions investing in talent growth, the Certificate in Applied Leadership from eLeadership Academy is the only easy-to-administer, online training solution that blends the latest in leadership and neuroscience insights with social learning to equip your leaders to foster an inclusive, high-performance culture for good.
While most leadership and coaching training tend to be theoretical, we provide practical models, coaching, and “micro-actions” so learners can practice and apply new insights right away. The programs are cohort-based, creating an opportunity to network and learn with other credit union leaders.
Our faculty are accomplished CU executives with extensive educational achievements in leadership, coaching, and NeuroLeadership. We’re pleased to share that nearly 100% of participants would recommend our programs to others, and our completion rate for our instructor-led programs is 96%.

eLEAD
8-Week Program, 4 Hours per Week

Bite-sized content and weekly exercises create immediate opportunities to boost team engagement and resilience.
eLeaderHUB
Monthly Program, 2 Hours per Month

Coaching fosters accountability, inspires action, and builds confidence in others by holding them capable.

that gets results.
All eLeadership Academy programs follow a brain-centric coursework model to ensure that the learning sticks.
Theory is important, but without practice, it has little impact on day-to-day leadership effectiveness. Our programs are designed to support a 70/20/10 learning model where leaders practice what they’ve learned and build confidence with new leadership techniques.
