Leadership, Career, and Self-Development Tools & Training
As a member of Omicron Delta Kappa (OΔK), it’s clear you are a high academic or professional achiever. You’ve taken on leadership roles, and while those provided a good experience, you want to learn how to advance your skills and outcomes to become a better “you” and showcase your value to future employers and decision-makers.
Training Specifically for You
But where can you get the training that meets your needs? Training that is geared specifically for you, meeting you where you are now—not training for mid-career professionals or a one-size-fits-all?
You guessed it. Right here. OΔK has partnered with a foremost provider of leadership, career, and self-development training explicitly designed for achievers like you.
Meet Charlie Life and Leadership Academy
With 21 courses spanning everything from self-discovery to self-mastery in leadership, career, communications, mindset, and much more, Charlie Academy offers high-achieving members the perfect array of courses to meet their individual needs.
When Socrates said, “You don’t know what you don’t know,” he meant it’s impossible to fill a gap in knowledge if you don’t know the gap exists. Charlie Academy understands that you might not know what you need most to succeed. And that’s okay because they’ve designed courses in the areas that are of greatest importance to your advancement as a college-graduate job-seeker, leader, or colleague.
