Leadership Intensives

Manager Training That Sticks.

Walk in with the real management problem you're stuck on. Spend three live sessions working it through with a small Board of Directors of peers from outside your industry — last year's cohorts included managers from Google, DocuSign, construction firms, Fortune 500 companies, and national and international nonprofits.

Walk out with tools you can use Monday morning: TRAIL for conflict, GROW for coaching, a Priority Compass to focus your week. Every course is anchored in Elevate Labs’s Compass Model, as featured in the forthcoming book Uncharted Leadership: Navigating Disruption Without a Map (coming July 2026), so each one builds on the last.

You’ll leave with the practical tools, strategies, and peer support to lead confidently and effectively.

How to Lead People: A Foundations Course for First-Time People Leaders

$300.00 $950.00

Most managers were never taught how to lead people — they were promoted because they were great at the work. How to Lead People is a three-session cohort experience built on the foundational skills that turn good individuals into leaders their teams actually want to follow: clarity, feedback, delegation, and coaching.

Leading Change: Clarity, Communication, and Action Through Organizational Change

$300.00 $950.00

Most change leadership content assumes the leader is already clear, calm, and aligned — and just needs to communicate well. The reality is messier. Leading Change is a three-session cohort for managers and leaders navigating real organizational change: reorgs, M&A, strategy shifts, role evolution.

Practical AI for People Leaders: Prioritization, Coaching, and Feedback

$300.00 $950.00

AI tools change daily — but the moments that make a manager great haven't changed. Prioritizing what matters. Coaching team members through stuck points. Giving honest feedback. Holding people accountable. Practical AI for People Leaders is a three-session cohort experience that teaches managers how to use AI as a tool in the core functions of their role, with guardrails.

Managing Conflict and Underperformance: The Toolkit for Management’s Biggest Challenges

$300.00 $950.00

This intensive equips you for the hardest moments of management: resolving conflict, addressing underperformance, and leading with clarity when stakes are high. You learn to diagnose root causes, coach with accountability, and hold the difficult conversations that keep teams on track — and exit roles when fit isn't right.


Our Participants Love The
Action-Oriented And Practical Content.

    Intensive Participant - CEO and founder of a clean energy start-up

    Intensive Participant - national nonprofit

  • "Advice was specific and had examples. Actionable. The philosophy of coaching is one thing. What to do? That is another question and is more important."
