Learn * Grow *Lead
The Leadership Pasadena Experience produces empowered, inspired and connected leaders who strengthen our diverse communities.
Even though I had a great job and a college degree, I didn't feel I qualified for a seat at the 'big table' - until I went through Leadership Pasadena. Now? Yes, I belong at the table!" - LP Alum
"The LP experience was a tremendous personal growth period as I wanted to rise from being a neighborhood leader to a leader involved with community-wide issues. LP gave me the leadership skills, community relationships and confidence to serve on Pasadena’s Parks and Rec Commission, the Board of the Pasadena Educational Foundation and the PUSD Board, even serving as PUSD Board President.
Without LP, I don't think that I could have achieved a leadership role in Pasadena and have a chance to make Pasadena an even better place to live, work and play. Leadership Pasadena literally changed my life."--Tom Selinske
Leadership Pasadena is a powerful, hands-on, community leadership program that immerses you in Pasadena’s rich history, government, economics and world renowned organizations and institutions and also provides executive level leadership training. This is an energized, dynamic program for those who want to play an active role in Pasadena’s future. It challenges and engages emerging and existing leaders who come from a diverse array of professions, communities, ages and passions.
Our program is a strategic combination you won't get anywhere else. We provide:
- two-day high and low ropes executive leadership retreat; DiSC®, StrengthsFinder 2.0 and Positive Intelligence Quotient (PQ®) assessments; Project Implicit Social Attitudes test and more
- 35+ hours of education on current leadership theories and concepts,
- peer coaching,
- one-on-one executive coaching, and
- 60+ hours of experiential, on-site education about the Pasadena area and personal connection with community leaders.
Our graduates serve as knowledgeable leaders on non-profit Boards or staffs, sit on city commissions and neighborhood associations, run for public office, lead socially responsible businesses or become empowered, engaged citizens. And, they find friendships based upon similar interests that last for years.
While our intent is to benefit the greater Pasadena community, our participants benefit in their homes, neighborhoods and businesses as well.
Individuals make powerful connections and develop key skills for business and community success. Individuals new to Pasadena obtain an in-depth understanding of the community that would normally take years to acquire. Long-time residents will deepen and broaden their understanding of Pasadena and benefit from access to community leaders. Retirees seeking the opportunity to re-engage in the community can quick-start their volunteer career. Military veterans starting their civilian life in the Pasadena area will be welcomed into the community and re-missioned to lead and serve to help our city become an even better place for all.
We are proud members of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, the Pasadena Executive Director Roundtable, Founders' Circle of the Pasadena Museum of History and CalNonProfits.
