These are examined in light of current insights in text linguistics, cognitive linguistics, and integrational linguistics.

The Leadership Integration Thesis (Part 2) provides opportunity for students to conduct innovative independent leadership research. The process of research—from identification of problem for investigation, research design, data collection and analysis, to written report of findings—is the focus.

Learners explore theoretical foundations of learning communities, explore strategies for creating authentic learning communities, and apply strategies within a learning/coaching context. This course provides students with a practical setting in which to apply what they have learned in the Certificate in Coaching and Facilitation. Practicum must be with a supervised business, non-profit agency, social service agency, or institution related to the student’s personal interests and future plans. The course includes readings, written assignments and discussion forums.

This introductory course provides an understanding of the philosophical and theoretical basis for leadership, including the participant’s stage of development.
