Leading Self

Develop the habits, resilience, and clarity to lead yourself first, especially when the stakes are high.

Why It Matters

Strong leadership starts with strong self-leadership. In high-stakes environments, leaders need more than technical skills—they need the internal discipline to navigate pressure, stay grounded, and lead with focus.

Leaders who can't manage themselves struggle to lead others. This track builds the personal capacity and behavioral habits that allow leaders to show up consistently, respond effectively, and model trustworthiness across the organization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this program best suited for?

This track is ideal for emerging leaders, high-potential individual contributors, and managers who need stronger focus, self-awareness, and resilience. It's especially effective for leaders navigating high-pressure roles or fast-growing responsibilities.

Can this be customized for our organization or industry?

Yes. While the core curriculum is research-based and repeatable, we tailor case studies, reflection exercises, and examples to align with your organization’s current realities and leadership challenges.

How is this different from a general leadership development course?

Leading Self focuses exclusively on the internal competencies leaders need to function at a high level—emotional regulation, energy management, clarity, and intentional habits. This foundation is often overlooked but is critical for sustainable performance and trustworthy leadership.

What assessments are included, and how are they used?

Participants complete two core assessments:

DiSC Workplace (to understand behavioral drivers and communication tendencies)

Agile EQ (to strengthen emotional agility and situational mindset shifts) These tools are integrated into self-reflection exercises and behavior planning.

How does the learning platform work?

Each company receives its private learning platform that houses session recordings, comment sections for discussion, knowledge checks, and all downloadable tools. Leaders can revisit the content at any time for reinforcement.

What’s the format and time commitment?

This program is primarily delivered virtually to maximize interactivity (e.g., breakout rooms, peer learning, and live facilitation).

1: Cohorts typically meet over several live sessions (or can be completed via a guided hybrid format).

2: In-person delivery is only offered if all participants can be present in the same location.

Can we measure results or behavioral change?

Yes. We provide pre/post assessment tools, habit trackers, and qualitative feedback options. For organizations that want long-term tracking, we also offer follow-up surveys or check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days.
