Aiming to rise above the crowd through innovative leadership in Nashville’s thriving business community?

The University of Tennessee Haslam College of Business invites managers, entrepreneurs, directors, and other ambitious professionals to register for C-Suite Insights (CSI) — a six-month leadership development program that turns rising professionals into the confident + strategic decision-makers that their companies (and careers) need.

Here are six reasons to jump on the opportunity and reserve your place in one of only 30 program positions available:

👀 Gain exclusive insight

Get a step ahead by learning from years of firsthand experience from top executives representing multiple industries (think: tech, healthcare, music, sports, banking, manufacturing, non-profit + more). These execs will share their failures and successes — and the pivotal takeaways they learned along the way.

📈 Build business know-how

Gain a real-world view of business operations that enables you to build high-performing teams, lead cross-functional initiatives, and drive innovation and business results.

🤝 Grow your network

“It’s not just what you know but who you know.” That didn’t become a business adage for no reason. And who better to know on a first name basis than at least a dozen senior executives — plus 29 other Nashville business leader participants. Networking both in + outside the program is a stand-out benefit.

💬 Get individual coaching

Participants take several assessments (including Predictive Index and The Hogan Development Survey) to hone in on their strengths and hard-wired tendencies, and will receive an individual coaching session based on the results.

🧑‍💼 Advance leadership skills

Accelerate your leadership skills by expanding your business acumen and ability to lead. Participants can expect to increase their influencer effectiveness and decision-making prowess.

📊 Benefit from membership

Become a member of the exclusive CSI Alumni Network in Nashville — and grow your circle of influence year after year.

CSI is held in-person every second Tuesday from May 14-Oct. 8 at the Pinnacle Building in downtown Nashville. Interested? The deadline to register is April 15 and spots are limited (so don’t wait).
