For more information please visit: www.gwu.edu/cepl George Washington University's Center for Excellence in Public Leadership offers Enterprise Risk Management and Leadership Development programs designed to benefit public sector leaders and their organizations at all levels of government. CEPL's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Certification is designed to provide public sector leaders with the knowledge and skill set to develop an ERM approach to handling strategic and operational risks throughout their organization. The certification introduces participants to the fundamental concepts, principles, and tools of ERM and also provides an environment to develop a draft risk profile for their area of responsibility and/or their organization as a whole. In addition, CEPL's Leadership Embodiment Coaching Program uses a holistic model of development and change – one that encompasses and accounts for the context in which public sector leaders live while simultaneously acknowledging their individual journeys in life.
Mission: The Center for Excellence in Public Leadership develops public leaders who make a positive difference in their organizations and for the people they serve.

We Know You are in Information Overload... and Here's Why it's WORTH YOUR TIME: A creative disruption is a pause where we are confronted with many unknowns in life or at the workplace.

We can nurture and develop talent in the workplace by cultivating a culture that supports creative expression, mindful innovations, curious and collaborative inquiry, deep gratitude and abundance.
