LEAP™ is...
The LEAP™ program combines world-class leadership and management development practices with highly skilled facilitators & coaches to transform your managers into leaders. The LEAP program is not for everyone. It is NOT a series of public seminars. It is a cohort group of individuals who are invited to join this program for career development purposes. The curriculum is customized to fit each cohort group's needs and real-world issues are discussed in a safe and productive way. During the LEAP year we measure participants "confidence and competence" at specific intervals so we know how much growth is occurring. We are proud to have graduated more than 60 leaders from our program since 2003 and our 'confidence and competence' measure shows consistently high growth (in excess of 25%) in the following areas:
- Confidence that I could easily lead any group even if I have no expertise in that technical arena
- Greater skill in managing my emotional impulses (emotional intelligence)
- People would describe me as a courageous leaders
- I can effectively lead my team through change
- I am comfortable using different leadership styles in different situations
We have at least one cohort starting each year. If you're ready to take the LEAP™ from manager to leader, joining a LEAP™ group is the first step in the journey.

The LEAP™ program was borne out of our desire to help you make leadership a habit.
"Leadership is the art of accomplishing more than the science of management says is possible."
- General Colin Powell
It's Unique: No other program provides the depth of learning, coaching and peer interaction that LEAP™ members receive.
It's Customized: Your LEAP™ year is customized to fit your growth and development needs. Using our Leadership 360 Survey, assessment, and member discussion each cohort (and member) receives its own customized curriculum.
It's Powerful & Effective: Our graduates are saying; "LEAP™ provides well-rounded guidance in nearly every major area a leader will encounter." and "It's challenging, engaging, and fun! Plus the icing on the cake is it gives (or enhances) the skills needed to feel more achievement in your work and personal life. There's nothing like surfing the wave crest of change with your buddies to give you sense of accomplishment, camaraderie, and growth. It's an opportunity for today and for the future." LEAP™ is membership-based and requires the completion of an application prior to acceptance into a cohort group. To find out if you're right for LEAP™ fill out our application, or contact us.
