FIU Center for Leadership

Florida International University debuted at No. 7 in the U.S. and No. 2 in Florida in the Financial Times Executive Education Custom 2026 ranking.

This is FIU’s first year participating in the ranking, which evaluates customized executive education programs developed for companies, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and other organizational clients.

FIU’s submission included executive and professional education programs from across the university, reflecting work by the Center for Leadership at FIU, FIU Business, FIU Jorge M. Pérez Metropolitan Center, Continuing Education, FIU Jack D Gordon Institute for Public Policy, FIU College of Engineering and Computing, and Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management.

What will leadership (development) look like in 5 years? What’s different – and what will (and should) be the same?

On Monday, we gathered senior leaders from across South Florida sectors. Deep-tech. Healthcare. Asset Management. Human Capital. Non-profits.

Our Executive Director, Dr. Nathan Hiller, challenged the group with these critical future-forward questions. No one has THE answer, but the thoughtful input from this group was stellar. The conversation rich. How can we build thriving individuals, organizations, and communities?

Our ‘community’ showed up, and we left feeling energized, curious, and grateful.

Congratulations to the newest graduates of the Leadership in Tech program! 🎉

Today, we wrapped up a powerful leadership experience. This group of leaders built the skills that matter most in today’s environment, strengthening self-awareness, influence, and the ability to lead through complexity.

In their final session, participants focused on communication and coaching others, further enhancing their ability to lead people, develop talent, and drive meaningful impact.

Thank you for choosing us as your partners in leadership development. We’re excited to see how you continue to lead with impact.
