Would Recommend

This series requires application between sessions, not just attendance.

Built on the Guide Don't Drive™ framework and reinforced through Monday Morning Implementation™.

Built for leaders who are tired of being the backstop.

New managers and supervisors stepping into leadership
High-potential leaders leading without full authority
Experienced leaders who want behavior that holds under pressure
Leaders who want a repeatable weekly system, not more ideas

This is for you if…

  • You lead without having all the authority.
  • You're carrying too much because your team depends on you.
  • Accountability conversations feel awkward or delayed.
  • You want a weekly system that actually sticks.

Not sure where to start? Take the GuideType assessment to see which leadership pattern you default to under pressure.

Find Your GuideType

Most leadership development fails when work gets hard.

It doesn't fail because the ideas are wrong. It fails because pressure changes behavior.

1.Lead for people, not at them
2.Influence vs manipulation (clarity beats pressure)
3.For vs from (intent that builds trust)
4.Know → Grow (practice, not theory)
5.Weekly reinforcement that makes it stick

Why this sticks

Most leadership training fades because reinforcement stops. This series installs one behavior per session and reinforces it through weekly application (MMI) until it becomes the default.

See Reinforcement (MMI)

One behavior per session. Installed live. Reinforced in real work.

1

Attend live

Learn the behavior and practice it in the room.

2

Apply in real work

Use it immediately with your team and peers.

3

Reinforce weekly

Bring examples back. Get coached. Repeat until it becomes default.

Why this works

  • One behavior at a time (not ten).
  • Applied in real work, not theory.
  • Reinforced weekly so drift doesn't win.

What Leaders Are Saying

"The Emerging Leaders Academy has helped me rethink leadership as creating space for others to grow; slowing down, asking better questions, and building trust with intention."

"This is a great way for one of our young leaders to gain valuable, hands-on experience and to connect with a solid group of young leaders. A very logical extension to help some of our rising talent grow their skill set."
