Increasing diversity and participation is a value-add for any organization, yet without key understanding and abilities of how to facilitate collaboration, this potential is often untapped. Often, even worse, diversity and bias cause conflict and become enterprise risk. Managers, supervisors, and key leaders in nonprofit, corporate, and civic spaces are required to understand and motivate the disparate needs of all of their stakeholders. However, these so-called “soft skills” are often missing from traditional business or nonprofit training programs. This certificate equips learners in these competencies, empowering them to lead like never before, with the transferable, transformative skills of the Claremont Core®.
Claremont Lincoln University (CLU) graduate certificate courses are the exact same courses that are taught in CLU’s master’s programs. That means you get the same quality instruction as our full-time students. It also means that you get the credit you deserve in the form of a valuable certificate along with real credits that can be used in the completion of a master’s degree at CLU.

In this course focused on inquiry-based leadership skills, learners begin their engagement with the four domains that make up the Claremont Core: Mindfulness, Dialogue, Collaboration, and Change. These four domains consist of transferable skills and resources that support leadership and facilitation capacities that accentuate students’ professional work. Students’ leadership in real-world contexts will be strengthened and enriched. Students will become mindful leaders, and learn the dialogue and collaboration skills that make positive social change possible. Finally, students also determine the scope and aim of their Capstone Projects and begin to use resources from the four Claremont Core® domains to build their research repertoire and leadership acumen.
In a world reimagining what is possible, Strategic Communication: Building Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will present students a historical perspective of the legacy and manifestation of structural racism, and other societal and cultural marginalization, including the unintended consequences of systemic exclusion. Students will build upon the principles learned in the Claremont Core® to create environments where difficult conversations can take place with both internal and external audiences. This course will equip students to tackle challenges with diverse teams using language which acknowledges and respects difference to create equitable outcomes. In this course, students analyze self, personal strengths, and biases, and accumulate tools and communication skills in dialogue, collaboration, and bridging across divides. With these tools, students hone their abilities to build advocacy for dismantling oppressive structures and rebuilding personal, professional, and civic spaces that maximize diversity and facilitate equity and inclusion for all.
In this advanced course, students build on the aspects of mindfulness and dialogue that undergird their work in fast-paced, diverse settings. Concepts of collaboration and change leadership are also enhanced. These domains move beyond knowledge into practices that will develop over time and become intrinsic parts of leadership and facilitation. This course has an action orientation that enables learners to apply their own work in these skills and facilitate mindful dialogue and collaboration in areas of greater diversity, increased conflict, and in higher-stakes settings. The Advanced Core® course supports leaders’ self-empowerment and marketability with rigorous skill-building by way of learning and applying self-empowerment practices and methods. Participants will expand their experience and knowledge with the attainment of competencies that support a purposeful and inclusive approach to real-life environments and relationships. These are elements that employers list as crucial for success: collaboration, dialogue, mindfulness, and change. Related skills that are addressed in this course include: advanced communication, negotiation/facilitation, conflict management, creativity and innovation, cognitive flexibility, and empathy.
