THERE ARE FEW NATURAL BORN LEADERS.
Leadership is a learned skill and that learning is never ending. “What got you here won’t get you where you want to go,” an uncomfortable truth Fast Rising High Achievers run into at every level of their career. In fact, what got you here won’t even help you do your new job effectively.
Every step up the ladder requires a new level of leadership and “people skills.” Because “people” are now your job.
On your way to the senior leadership team, you will need to master skills on four fronts:
LEADING UP - You are now a trusted advisor. That means you are a sounding board, speak truth to power, help your CEO get their job done, all while getting your job done.
LEADING ACROSS - You are peers are the power players in the organization. This is the team you are on. Your job is to lead from within that team while being a part of it. You are now a student of the Art of Co-opetition.
LEADING YOUR TEAM - You’ve spent a career honing your leadership skills and now have even less direct impact on how things get done. Your success will only come from your team’s success.
LEADING YOURSELF - Relentless pressure, ambition, burnout, sleepless nights, and resentments, are the price you may be paying for your lofty position. Mastering your emotions, perspective, health and relationships are essential to make this fun and sustainable.
This 12-Week Program is designed to help you “level up” in all four of these focus areas. Each week you will have practical training, exercises and homework that will move you forward in your relationships with your boss, your peers, your team and yourself. You will be armed with tools and insights you will use throughout your career and in your personal life.
Get ready for a powerful journey.

Each session is taught LIVE with ample time for teaching, Q&A and discussions with opportunities for on the spot coaching. We are happy to provide you with a report on who showed up for each session + who completed their pre and post work in order to help you make any decisions around your leadership team and their commitment to implementing the program.
STEP 4: 1:1 COACHING (OPTIONAL)
The program is completed with a second round of 1:1 Coaching to help leaders integrate their learnings and create an action plan to implement over the following 90 days.
STEP 5: POST-ASSESSMENT
A post-assessment is completed to measure the learning gain with an option to repeat the assessments with the CEO and team members.
