The Relational Leadership Institute is committed to putting out an innovative, high quality training experience, in an inclusive and accessible way, particularly for individuals who have not had equal opportunities and access to leadership training. We intend for our registration fees to be an extension of those values, which we offer in a sliding scale to encourage participants from across the professional and generational spectrum to apply.

At the Relational Leadership Institute, we believe strongly that those that offer their expertise to the betterment of others should be fairly compensated. RLI trainers and facilitators bring cumulative decades and countless hours of experience in leadership practice and development into the Relational Leadership training space. We keep the cost of the course as low as possible, while still honoring the time that they put into making this course transformational. The fees for this course pay for trainer and facilitator honoraria, the 5 Dynamics assessment for each participant and for the ability to offer the course for CME credit.

If you have concerns or questions about the course cost or your ability to attend due to financial stress, please feel free to reach out to us.
