Conversations with industry legends give you first-hand insights into overcoming critical challenges. Connections with accomplished peers broaden your perspective and open doors to new opportunities.

You'll expand your impact to make lasting positive change in your organization and community. It all comes back to our school’s mission: to educate leaders for business and society.

Programme Content

Three intensive classroom modules held at the Yale School of Management campus immerse you in deep learning, diverse perspectives, and valuable discussions. In between the on-campus modules, your learning journey continues seamlessly through virtual meetings. You will engage with Yale’s esteemed faculty and your accomplished peers to discuss the latest research or a case study, share insights into and reflections on how you are applying your learnings, and get guidance from the Yale network.

Testimonials

"YGELP has allowed me to reconnect with my purpose, with the mission of my organization, and has given me tools to think differently about how to create a culture that equally values my staff and my customers."

Anonymous

"YGELP allowed me a vision into the perspective of other thought leaders. Those in the classroom teaching it and those who were also there as students. I went into the program with the hopes of meeting similarly situated executives to see how I compared. I left the program with a renewed zeal and desire to push my self-imposed limits even further."
