Schedule

NGLI kicks-off with an opening retreat weekend (Friday-Saturday), usually at a hotel in the Chicagoland area. After the kick-off, the group will meet once a month over the course of 18 months. Each meeting is a full day and takes place on Loyola's Water Tower Campus in downtown Chicago. We try our best to accommodate participants' schedules and aim for meeting dates that are convenient for everyone.

Community

Your community is composed of three parts. Peers act as a trusted, confidential cohort of friendship and support. Your coach will be a guide through your journey, helping you create a professional and personal development plan. And your facilitator will lead the group by exploring areas of self, family, and business, and how they relate to your leadership development.
