BEDFORD — StoneGate Arts & Education Center and Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU) are partnering to offer a new leadership development opportunity for employers in south-central Indiana.
Beginning this May, the Supervisor Essentials Leadership Development program, created by IWU’s Leadership by Design Center, will be hosted at StoneGate in Bedford, Indiana.
“At Indiana Wesleyan University’s Leadership by Design Center, we believe effective leadership is intentional, not accidental. This partnership with StoneGate Arts & Education Center allows us to extend our mission of developing effective leaders throughout south-central Indiana. Our Supervisor Essentials program provides practical, non-academic, experiential training that participants can immediately apply in their workplace. We’re excited to work alongside local employers to strengthen their leadership pipeline and contribute to regional leaders’ professional and personal growth,” Jillian Gilbert, director of IWU’s Leadership by Design Center, said.
This seven-month program will equip new supervisors with the skills, knowledge, and experience to lead effectively and help their employees thrive. As part of the curriculum, JA Benefits, an external employee benefits company, will deliver specialized human resources training.
The program sessions will be in-person, interactive, and experiential. During each session, time is divided between learning content, reflecting, interacting with peers, and identifying personal applications. This program will meet once a month starting in May 2025.
“We’re really excited to offer this leadership program to employers in south-central Indiana,” Linda
