Most people will work for a bad leader three times before they ever experience a good one.
That's not an accident. It's a pattern. And it starts in the first few years of leading people — before habits calcify and blind spots become permanent.
This is where the pattern gets interrupted.

What You Walk Away With
A clear, personal vision for the kind of leader you are becoming — defined by you, not your job description
A written leadership legacy statement that names the impact you intend to have on the people you lead
A sense of purpose that anchors your leadership when the work gets hard and the decisions get complicated
A people-first playbook you build across the cohort and carry into every team, role, and organization for the rest of your career
A peer group of individuals navigating the same season who will sharpen you during the cohort and beyond
Honest feedback and direct coaching
The ability to interrupt the leadership patterns that form early and do the most damage later
Who This Is For
This foundational leadership experience is built for emerging and new leaders, who want to intentionally design how they want to show up in their leadership and for their people.
This cohort is capped at 15.
