Fit To Lead

In today’s hectic world, it is easy to forget that your ability to manage and lead can be greatly influenced by health and wellness.That’s why we created Fit to Lead™, a program that recognizes and promotes the importance of mental, physical, spiritual and emotional well-being.

The program covers various topics including personal reflection, goal setting, fitness, healthy eating and striving for balance.Within this context, Fit to Lead™ focuses on the importance of making your own personal choices, challenging yourself to live a balanced life and welcoming change.

During the residential sessions you have an opportunity to take part in various team and individual activities, participate in an individual fitness consultation and learn how to live a healthy, balanced life. You will have access to a personal trainer who will work with you to design a personalized fitness plan.

Throughout the program, Fit to Lead™ will continue to inspire you. Group challenges, newsletters and the lifestyle planner keep you involved and our staff will work to help you succeed.

You will find that the Fit to Lead™ program will help you in a number of ways as you complete the Cornell- Queen’s Executive MBA program. In addition, the skills and knowledge that you take away from the Fit to Lead™ program will be beneficial in your personal and professional life after graduation.
