The Champion: Academy Leadership Program Advocate

Recognizing the individuals who bring leadership development to life within their organizations

Our work with organizations across industries confirms one powerful truth: leadership development creates the greatest impact when teams learn together.

The Champion Badge is a digital credential issued by Academy Leadership to recognize individuals who make that belief a reality. Champions are trusted advocates and internal leaders who help move leadership development from idea to action, ensuring programs are not only adopted but embraced.

What It Means to Be a Champion

Champions serve as trusted liaisons between Academy Leadership and their organizations. They advocate for leadership development, influence key decision-makers, and play a pivotal role in coordinating and supporting Academy Leadership programs from start to finish.

Working behind the scenes or at the forefront, Champions ensure programs such as the Leadership Excellence Course, Energize2Lead^® Workshops, and custom Leadership Development Programs are successfully introduced, organized, and delivered for maximum organizational impact.

At Academy Leadership, we deeply value our Champions for their commitment, initiative, and belief that leadership development is not a one-time event but a strategic investment in people, culture, and performance.
