The AIM Institute's Impact Leadership is an annual management course for technology professionals. The program consists of one full day of training each month for seven months (December 2025 – June 2026). Each session focuses on a common on-the-job issue faced by tech managers.
Impact is the flagship leadership development program offered by the AIM Institute, tailored specifically for experienced professionals seeking to ascend to leadership positions at the highest levels. Collaborating with Bellevue University, this immersive experience seamlessly integrates executive coaching, comprehensive 360-degree feedback, strategic planning, and advanced leadership theory into a transformative journey. Through dynamic, in-person sessions, participants will enhance their capacity to influence organizational direction, foster resilient teams, manage conflict with composure, and catalyze innovation through strategic leadership. This program serves as a launching pad for leaders eager to amplify their impact and contribute to the shaping of the future of their organizations.
"“I am a more competent leader and more confident in my abilities to lead my teams, organize my responsibilities, and develop my team members than I have ever been.”"
Impact Leadership will consist of an orientation, seven full-day sessions (one per month) and a graduation ceremony.
