The seminars required to obtain the Strategic Success Foundations II Certificate, include:

1. Inspired Accountability – Engaging Others Through Line-of-Sight Motivation and Leadership
On-demand Seminar

Inspired accountability is an internal drive to keep going, beyond struggle or setback. It’s the ultimate challenge for the leader or strategist, responsible for the transdisciplinary coordination of business and people – to cultivate inside-out accountability, as truly the only way to achieve greater assurance of change and results. This course provides the foundations to energize that potential.

2. Art of Adaptability – Upskilling your Pivotal Response Capability
On-demand Seminar

3. Magnetic Messaging – Strategically Focused Storytelling to Engage, Connect and Influence
On-demand Seminar

Learn to effectively 'tell the story of strategy'. Communicate strategic decision input information and/or strategic progress and challenges. Demonstrate professionalism and cultivate community around strategy. Magnetic messaging addresses this opportunity and helps avoid common pitfalls. It's not about 'convincing'. Rather, it's about becoming more magnetic.

Learn at your own pace. Each certificate includes three seminars delivered virtually and on-demand through CPA Alberta’s Learning Management System. Participants will have access to seminar materials for one year to fully reflect on, engage with and apply concepts delivered through a blend of written and video content; examples and illustration; self-reflection and application or creative project activities; and takeaway discussion panels, quizzes and self-assessments.
