The Christopher Leadership Course of Hamilton provides a welcoming and supportive environment where you will build strong leadership skills and learn to over-come your fear of standing up in front of a group to speak. The course is a powerful asset and confidence-builder for anyone, but it is especially tailored for people in transition, whether that be from school into the work- force, from another country into Canada, or from one career to another. The CLC Level 1 course is a 10 week course based on adult learning principles. Each week, instructors present a different area of focus. The learned skills are then practiced in a positive and supportive workshop setting. In CLC courses, you learn by doing! For more information, or to register, please visit: www.clchamilton.com
