Throughout your CAP experience, you will address critical performance and behavioral gaps through intensive learning courses delivered using a phased approach.

Phase 1: Assessment and Awareness — CAP Fellows undergo a comprehensive assessment that includes input from their managers. Fellows also begin the one-on-one executive coaching process during this phase.

Phase 2: Experiential Learning — Fellows attend the Leadership Horizon Seminar (LHS), which covers key CAP curriculum elements. At LHS, Fellows learn from world-renowned business leaders, grow their networks, and receive peer feedback in a safe environment. Fellows continue their executive coaching sessions. During in-person programming, the seminar is a six-day, in-residence learning experience. In the virtual context, sessions are spread across a duration of approx. six months.

Phase 3: Reflection and Action —  Fellows begin their practicum period of individual reflection and application. Key concepts and principles are applied “on the job” and in personal settings. Fellows participate in a leadership lesson series, continue executive coaching sessions, and receive LHS post-work curriculum resources that reinforce learnings from the previous phases.  

Phase 4: Ongoing Networking and Development — Upon completion of CAP, Fellows receive a final verbal outcomes report with a personalized evaluation that chronicles their professional development journey. To commensurate, Fellows are invited to a CAP Graduation and Closing Ceremony, and welcomed into the distinguished MLT Alumni Community.
