Training and Development
For 99.99% of our collective history, humans have regularly, daily, stared into fires. It connects with something deep inside of us. Great training is like that, it reaches us; it meets us in a core place inside. This is where change happens. This magical, exciting, sometimes scary space is where things get real.
Sometimes change happens in an instant. Other times it happens slowly over time as we integrate new ways of understanding ourselves, our team, our organizations, and the world in which we live and grow. An integrated leadership program makes all of these shifts more likely to happen in the first place, and much, much more likely that they take root in the core of these leaders.

The Next-Level Leadership Program
Next-Level Leadership is an integrated and highly experiential program designed to lift each Leader to reach their Next Level of capacity and performance. It features quarterly workshops, 1:1 coaching, and group coaching sessions augemented with selected books, media, and other support materials. The curriculum is modular allowing organizations to select individual topics or the full program. The entire program dovetails and builds upon itself over 12 months to allow new competencies to develop and integrate into each leader’s busy life. It is organized into phases as shown below:
- Lead Yourself. Successful business transformation is always preceded by the personal transformation of its leaders.
Goal: From Self Preservation to Self Actualization - Lead Your Team. An organization is only as strong as its people and their ability to work together and execute.
Goal: From Self Interest to Partnership - Lead Your Organization. Sustainable growth and performance requires systems to manage strategy, people, process and infrastructure.
Goal: From Scrambling to Scaling - Leading Change. Over 75% of major change initiatives fail to meet their core objectives. Your project doesn’t need to one of them!
