On behalf of the Board of Trustees, Faculty, Management, Alumni, and Academic Affairs Team of the Jacobs-Abbey Global Institute for Leadership Studies (JAGILS), we are honored and delighted to announce the arrival of 26 exceptional lifelong learners who will comprise Cohort VI of our flagship Executive Strategic Leadership Management (ESLM) Program.

Commencing Saturday, February 14, 2026, these distinguished professionals will embark on an intensive 10-week odyssey designed to reshape their leadership paradigm and amplify their strategic impact across industries and communities.

Our Cohort VI scholars will immerse themselves in a comprehensive leadership ecosystem encompassing:

∙ Strategic Thinking and Leadership
∙ Emotional Intelligence
∙ Emotional Intelligence
∙ Financial Management for Leaders
∙ Communicating for Results
∙ Conflict Management
∙ Understanding Your Why
∙ 9 Weeks of Advanced Project Management

This meticulously crafted curriculum represents our unwavering commitment to developing leaders who don’t just navigate change—they architect it.

To our incoming cohort: you join a legacy of transformational leaders who have chosen growth over comfort, impact over complacency, and excellence over mediocrity. Your decision to invest in your leadership development echoes across boardrooms, communities, and futures yet unwritten.

You are now part of something greater than yourselves. You are JAGILS. We Move.
Together, we will challenge assumptions, sharpen vision, forge unbreakable networks, and cultivate the courage required to lead in complexity. The next 10 weeks will demand your best—and reveal capabilities you never knew you possessed.

Welcome home, Cohort VI. Your leadership revolution begins now.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Your step begins February 14, 2026.
