Mark Jensen

Leadership Development Program (LDP)®, Leading for Organizational Impact, Leadership at the Peak (& more)

At the start of his leadership journey over 10 years ago, Mark stepped into a role managing hundreds of people across operational functions. It was then that he made a commitment to honor the responsibility he had been given as a leader. Attending LDP opened him up to continuous improvements as a leader and as an individual, and led to his participation in a number of subsequent CCL programs.

“The higher I rose, the more strategic my influence became. And CCL was right there with me — tailoring the journey to match my role and goals.”
