E(H)C Institute
E(H)C Institute is comprised of programs designed to focus on the individual, the whole individual. Members are eligible for three development paths: professional development, technical development, and personal development. The programs are free of charge to our members, and participants are selected via an application and interview process.
All E(H)C Institute programs take the approach of ‘double-clicking on’ and ‘drilling into’ specific outcomes for each participant. We believe structuring the program design around the individual’s desired outcomes versus structuring the individual outcomes around the program design yields a more meaningful, impactful, and lasting effect.
Members are eligible for participation in both programs, but are encouraged to carefully assess time commitments to ensure you will be able to meet participation requirements. Upon acceptance into the program(s), you will receive a notification outlining program details and requesting acknowledgment of your acceptance.
