Acumen Leadership Essentials Pre-Course Launch



Join us for +Acumen's next free six-week course, "Leadership Essentials."




About Acumen and SF+Acumen

What's the Leadership Essentials course about (and not about)?




The content in this course was developed based on more than seven

years of experience training Acumen’s Global and Regional Fellows. Our

six-week beginner-level course is brief compared to Acumen’s year-long

Fellows programs so you will get just a taste of Acumen’s leadership

training. Our focus is on leadership. We will cover some of the basics

of patient capital investing in one module, but we will not go into

this in-depth. We'll touch on the impact investing and social

enterprise sector, but we will not map out the space, nor will we

compare/contrast Acumen’s work with others in the space.








At this meetup, you'll have the chance to find and sign up your team


to learn essential leadership skills. This is a great opportunity to


engage your community, and a great course for people new to Acumen’s


work and the social impact space in general.
