Leadership Launchpad is MAT’s leadership development framework designed for early- to mid-career natural resource conservation professionals, supporting the development of leadership skills and capacity aligned with individual strengths and styles.

The objectives for your leadership launchpad program include: 

• Identifying and utilizing your strengths in leadership 

• Advancing your leadership journey with supportive relationships 

• Creating an environment of celebration and appreciation 
   

Through dynamic live sessions, you'll collaborate with fellow cohort members, forging invaluable partnerships and gaining insights to propel your leadership journey forward. You’ll explore your inner wisdom that will help you be more authentic, effective and confident. Additionally, the asynchronous platform offers a rich tapestry of resources, fostering daily connections, thought-provoking discussions, and expert guidance from our faculty. Together, we'll delve into reflective communication, relationship-building strategies, and discover your true leadership style. We hope that this opportunity will chart your success with a custom "how to navigate the path" plan.

The agenda includes three live, virtual sessions (two hours each) delivered over a 1.5-week period. Live sessions are supplemented by asynchronous engagement on matlearning.org to deepen learning, discovery, and reflection. Participants should plan for a total time commitment of approximately 10–12 hours, including six hours of live virtual participation.
