...its depth, structure, and integration.  Most leadership programs hit only one or two of these areas, but this one delivers all of them in a powerful, progressive format.

Specifically:  

1.  Consistency Over Time = True Transformation

Most programs are short bursts—1 to 3 days of content, then you're on your own.  This 16-month journey gives you the time and support to implement, refine, and sustain real change.

2.  Integrated Development – Not Just Skills, But Habits

While other programs may teach communication, leadership, or productivity as separate skills, this program weaves together:

• 3 World-class Dale Carnegie training programs - learn leadership and communication skills at the foundational, organizational, and strategic levels.
• Certified High-Performance Coaching - build daily habits for energy, focus, and execution.
• Leadership coaching - align personal growth with organizational impact.
• Peer masterminds - keep leaders sharp, humble, and solution-focused.

It’s more than learning — it’s integrating new ways of thinking and proven leadership perspectives into everyday behavior.

3.  Community + Accountability

You're not left alone between scheduled sessions to fend for yourself during (or after) the program.  You'll become part of a trusted leadership community built through, in-person training, ongoing mastermind sessions, cohort networking, and peer accountability.  We'll help you keep the momentum alive and you grounded in real-world application as you progress upward.

4.  A Repeating, Rhythmic Framework

Each 4-month cycle is intentional:

• In-person training to ignite growth
• Twice monthly coaching to amplify and integrate
• Monthly Masterminds to apply
• Ongoing Community to support
• Regular breaks to maintain energy and focus

That repeating pattern cements learning in a way that scattered workshops or sporadic coaching can’t replicate.

5.  Designed for High Performers

This isn’t for checkbox learners—it’s for driven, growth-oriented professionals.  The content is challenging, the feedback is real, and the business impact is measurable.  Imagine being in a group of high achievers focused on growth.  If you want to 5X or 10X your impact, this is the program for you.

6.  Your company and culture lives on

Training to lead a company is like training to be a chef in a Michelin 3-star restaurant.  You learn the skills to be a chef, then you hone those skills in a 3-star kitchen.  In the same way, you'll learn and develop skills to lead any company — leadership, communication, delegation, planning, etc. — and you hone these skills at YOUR company.  The world-class training and skills you develop support you to keep your company, its culture, mission, vision, and values thriving and driving forward into the future. 

Believe me, if we could do it in a 3-day seminar, or an online course, we would.  But, we can't.  So this one-of-a-kind program has been built to give you rapid results AND support long-term behavior change with the absolute minimum time investment.  It works out to an average of only 2.5 hours/week, and much of that is online.  Here's the breakdown:

 Total time: (for the YEAR)

• In-person Dale Carnegie training - 8 days
• Group Coaching (online) - 30 hours (75 min x 24 sessions)
• MasterMind sessions - 36 hours (3 hours x 12 sessions)
