Digital badges are presented by organizations to recognize accomplishments for specific actions or skill development. They allow you to be identified for these accomplishments and allow you to publish the badges representing that you have successfully completed the action or activity.

As you earn badges, you accumulate your own unique collection and share them across the web. Each badge you earn contains data about the actions or skills you have mastered. This information can be viewed when you share your badges, informing viewers with details of your achievements.

Badges can be shared in:

•  Websites, professional networks, and blogs
•  Social media sites – Twitter, Google+, Facebook, LinkedIn
•  As part of your email signature
•  Job applications

You will receive a Leadership Pulse badge when you sign up and complete the research demographic information sheet.  Participating in 4 out of 6 monthly Leadership Pulse surveys or webinars will maintain active status of the badges and additional badge opportunities will be available as you continue to participate.
