Leadership Development Programs

Our Adaptive Leadership Program (ALP)

The ALP is a cohort-based leadership and organizational development experience designed to regularly bring leaders together to work both “in the business” to achieve great results but also “on the business, culture, and themselves” growing awareness, developing skills, leading change, strengthening trust and teamwork, and developing your people, culture, and adaptability.

There has never been a time in human history where the need to both superbly execute and intentionally adapt been higher. Whether it’s leveraging AI or disrupting your industry, managing these complementary energies and practices is hard and requires greater leadership maturity and skills across your company, alignment, and agency.

Program Design

We start by helping the cohort clarify the most important things to be delivered, developed, or preserved at the company level, and the implications for the leadership team, functions, roles, key cross-functional capabilities, and of course the leaders themselves (a “stretch”). We do this because capacity is nested so it’s essential to develop all layers of an organization coherently.

​The ALP becomes a tool for the participants to achieve their layers of stretch, and grow the trust, candour, and support amongst themselves and their teams.  This higher level of safety and commitment is essential in today’s fast changing world.

Our experienced coaches facilitate high-impact conversations, experiments, insights, accountability, and develop high-impact leadership skills. We use content and tools from the Leadership System, a fantastic learning and development ecosystem from the Leadership Circle that is built on their Universal Model of Leadership and two books.

Program Components

• Configured, results-focused approach: We integrate your strategic plan, cultural principles, key deliverables and customize to each cohort (executives, functional / cross-functional teams, directors, managers, and leads).
• Data: Either via 360 Assessments, stakeholder interviews, and Pulse surveys participants can understand their leadership effectiveness at kick-off and its evolution over time, including any relevant business KPIs. This helps us track your ROI.
• A leadership development plan: aligned to business deliverables, and each participant’s leadership vision and current performance. Our approach and coaching helps participants grow their self-awareness and compassion which are essential to facilitate change.
• A “mindset map”: leaders see their invisible drivers of habitual, counterproductive reactions, create safe experiments to lead differently in stressful situations, and update their belief systems to allow greater leadership range, maturity, and enjoyment of life.
• Sponsorship meetings: if desired, to ensure alignment and support.
• Leader to Leader Cohort Sessions: Delivered virtually or in-person for either a half or full day, the sessions provide regular opportunities for accountability, peer coaching, and knowledge / skill development selected by participants.
• 22 Modules of Leadership topics/skills: Built on the Universal Model of Leadership™ framework, 22 available sessions encompass a full curriculum of leadership topics and include access to a learning development system with on-demand modules and assessments to ensure understanding.
• Optional 1:1 coaching: The payback for leaders is worth the investment. The combination of peer cohort coaching with one-on-one leadership coaching has a compounding effect.

The first dysfunction is an absence of trust among people. Essentially, this stems from their unwillingness to be vulnerable within the group. People who are not genuinely open with one another about their mistakes and weaknesses make it impossible to build a foundation for trust.
