An executive brings contextual intelligence and holistic thinking to leadership and creating solutions. Building a versatile toolkit of soft and hard skills can elevate your executive presence. The Executive Briefcase equips you with skills that may be the missing links between merit and success in being an executive.

Testimonials
I’ve been in executive roles for 15 years and it was not only a great refresher, but I learned some lessons that would have saved me some grief if I had taken this class sooner.
The entire Executive Briefcase was run extremely well. It is obvious that the UNF team put a lot of effort into it, both in terms of administrative/ logistics of the program and in substance of the seminars.
