Aspen Leadership Seminars
The most challenging problems leaders face are not technical, but moral.
Aspen Leadership Seminars are leadership development programs that use the Aspen Method to challenge leaders to think more deeply, listen more attentively, and refine their ability to lead in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world.
Seminars participants engage in deep, text-based conversations about the ideas and ideals of our world and explore enduring questions of ethical and effective leadership—gaining a greater capacity to lead with courage, clarity, and conviction.
What We Offer
Our leadership development programs for leaders and teams range from residential leadership seminars in Aspen, CO for individuals to custom leadership seminars that are tailored to your strategic organizational goals.
Featured EVENT
“The Canvas of Leadership”
2025 Cover Art Contest
Celebrating the power of visual art to provoke thought, deepen inquiry, and ground us in shared humanity, the 2025 cover art contest is open to submissions of painting, photography, mixed media, graphic design, or other digital mediums to highlight key themes of every Aspen Leadership Seminar.
“The seminar made time to think about what our values are and how we want the world to be. Bringing those two things together is the true exhibition of leadership.”

Why an Aspen Leadership Seminar
The Aspen Institute was founded on the idea that a better society requires better leaders who are more self-aware, more self-correcting, and more humane.
This deep introspection doesn’t happen in a crowded auditorium or in isolation. But it does happen in an Aspen Leadership Seminar.
