Welcome to the RFL Academy 2026 LearnDash Course!
Are you ready to embark on a transformative leadership journey?
The RFL Academy is more than a leadership program — it’s a launchpad for individuals ready to become catalysts for meaningful change in their organizations, communities, and beyond. Grounded in personal growth, leadership skill-building, and civic responsibility, our 2026 curriculum equips you with the mindset, tools, and experiences to lead with clarity, courage, and compassion.
This year’s Academy reflects our deepened commitment to fostering belonging, strengthening leadership + civic capacity, and addressing the challenges of our time — including division, disconnection, and disengagement. You’ll learn to turn tension into trust, navigate complexity with confidence, and build meaningful connections that transcend roles and agendas.
What to Expect
Throughout the course, you’ll engage in interactive workshops, peer dialogue, and applied learning experiences. You’ll practice leadership in real time — through projects, feedback, reflection, and community engagement — with support from coaches, facilitators, and your cohort.
You will develop:

Harness the power of diverse perspectives to build coalitions, create shared goals, and lead with empathy and equity.
🗣️ Communication & Storytelling
Master the art of authentic storytelling, public speaking, and courageous conversations that move people to act.

📈 Feedback & Growth Culture
