What is CCLM?2023-07-24T21:55:56-04:00

The Canadian College for Leadership & Management ‘CCLM’ is a leading management and leadership college, based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

CCLM major focus is on improving and promoting best practices, applied theories, and techniques in leadership, management, strategy, sales, marketing, human resources and training and executive assistance to enhance people’s performances to create great organizations and sustainable growth.

CCLM and its partners believe that leadership and management is not only science; but also an art. It’s business artists who created great products and services in every industry and business around us; whether it is Apple and Steve Jobs, GE and Jack Welch, or Virgin and Richard Branson. All of those are artists, business artists, who master the art of inspiring people, crafting great visions, drafting unique strategies, convincing everyone to buy in and support these visions, and eventually, to deliver sustainable and excellent results. It’s not the nitty-gritty details of a modelling language, a century old framework of something nor a specific template or mechanism that led those elite leaders to excel, it’s the art of motivation, people management, negotiation and many many more.  This is why, at CCLM, we merged between the art and science, while emphasizing more on the art, while we designed and developed our certifications.

CCLM has developed with industry experts a set of leading certifications that will support its vision to promote corporate practices in leadership and management. CCLM prestigious certifications are:

  • Certified Leadership Professional ‘CLP’
  • Certified Management Professional ‘CMP’
  • Certified Strategy Professional ‘CSP’
  • Certified Sales Professional ‘CSLP’
  • Certified Marketing Professional ‘CMKP’
  • Certified Executive Assistance Professional ‘CEAP’
