REALIZE Cohort Embarks on Leadership Journey with Off-Site Experience

September 18, 2024

The 6th REALIZE cohort has officially kicked off their transformational leadership journey with a dynamic off-site experience in the scenic Sacramento Mountains of southern New Mexico. Over the course of three immersive days, the 16-member group participated in experiential learning activities designed to foster personal growth, build strong team connections, and introduce the core principles of the REALIZE program.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Sacramento, participants learned to self-regulate their moods, explored the REALIZE leadership model, and honed essential teamwork skills, all while forming the bonds that will drive their shared success throughout the program.

REALIZE Executive is a world-class leadership development experience, custom-designed by international leadership experts and the Paso del Norte Health Foundation staff. It empowers emerging top-level managers in the Paso del Norte region to evolve into stronger, more effective leaders—not just by learning about leadership, but by challenging themselves to embody it in practice.

The Paso del Norte Health Foundation funds and operates the REALIZE program. For more information, visit pdnhf.org or contact REALIZE@pdnhf.org.

The goal of the REALIZE experience is to inspire already effective leaders to become transformational leaders for the benefit of the region’s health. Customized for the Paso del Norte region and built on nine leadership attributes, REALIZE offers a cohort of twenty executives the opportunity for individualized leadership growth over fifteen months.

With strengthened leadership in place, regional organizations and individuals are better positioned to promote health and prevent disease. Key REALIZE interventions include a customized 360 and other leadership assessments, executive coaching around personalized leadership goals, two transformational off-site experiences, at least six one-day cohort connect learning sessions, networking opportunities, assessments to measure individual growth, and more.
