Truist Leadership Institute

Truist Leadership Institute by UNC Pembroke

The business world felt the impact of a quiet revolution in 1956, when James Farr, Ph.D. introduced his psychological approach to leadership development. Generations of leaders have succeeded through the insights and life-changing principles of his program. Rooted in psychology and neuroscience, the Truist Leadership Institute’s one-of-a-kind learning experience has been empowering business executives, educators, and students to become better, more self-aware leaders and individuals for over 60 years.

This program is for students on the fast track to success and leadership. Students will learn to:

  • Lead others more effectively;
  • Gain a deeper self-awareness;
  • Identify signature strengths and leadership communication preferences; and,
  • Begin developing your leadership purpose.
